A friend recently asked me to make her a cremation ashes box (for herself). I did some research and the recommendation is one cubic inch per pound of body weight. All fine.

But then she suggested that we make it as something she can use while alive.

I thought of a jewelry box but I know there are a lot of creative people here so I'll ask for suggestions.

The minimum size is about 150 cubic inches. She has a plot intended for a cremation box so there's a maximum size. I don't know what that is yet, but let me say 500 cubic inches just to get started.

This will be a box, not a turned urn.

Any ideas?
