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.
