Relating to or containing ashes, especially the ashes of a dead person; used for storing or holding cremated remains.
From Latin 'cinerarius,' derived from 'cinis' (ash). The '-ary' suffix indicates association or relationship, as in 'relating to ashes.'
Cinerary urns are archaeological time capsules—their styles, materials, and inscriptions tell us who was important in ancient societies and what they valued when facing death.
