I purchased an urn to replace one that had broken but the urn that arrived was not exactly what was pictured, it was a LOT shinier then pictured, (imagine old penny versus a new one) and the word ARMY was half blackened out/obscured and not able to be noticed unless tilting the urn to read what the entire word said. Furthermore, there was no mention that it would arrive soldered or fused shut so we were not able to transfer my father's ashes to the new urn. Basically I am sadly disappointed as this was the perfect urn for a WWII Vet's final resting place.
