It’s a memorial urn. My mother bought a few for family that wanted something to remember her by, but her ashes aren’t in it. They’ve been scattered.
So it’s really just sentimental clutter.
Some people are really attached to physical representations of things. They want a grave site to visit, or an urn to have. It’s probably just a mental thing, but it seems to be really common.
Also, “99%” of the time, you are not getting the full amount of your loved ones in a simple urn. The amount of ashes a person creates is simply too much to hold. Most of it mixes and gets dumped in the trash every day.
