Urna

Antiqua urna Romana ex alabastro facta.

Antiqua urna crematoria Graeca, ca. 850 a.C.n.

Urna est genus vasorum, receptaculum saepe contectum, collo plerumque angustiori super corpus rotundum ac basi pedaria. Urnae antiquitate receptaculis pecuniae, cineribus mortuorum, sortitioni, suffragiisque proderant.

Urnae funereae (etiam urnae cinereae et urnae appellatae) a multis civilizationibus adhibentur. Post hominis mortem, cadaver concrematur, et cineres atque ossa collecta in urna sepulcrali conduntur.
