Answer first: An urn decision in Thornton starts with confirmed capacity and placement. Know the returned container dimensions, whether ashes will be divided, the opening and closure, engraving proof, exposure, and who fills the vessel.

Primary decision: What capacity, opening, material, placement, and access needs must the primary urn satisfy?

Ordered path: Obtain return capacity and decide whether ashes stay together → Choose placement, material, opening, closure, dimensions, and handling → Approve spelling, dates, artwork, scale, and final proof → Confirm filling, shipping, returns, and an undersize contingency

Required evidence: capacity specification; material details; engraving proof; filling instructions; return policy.

Stop signs: one-size recommendation; capacity absent; engraving starts without proof.
