Claims16
A device for ceremoniously transporting a funerary urn by at least two urnbearers and for ceremoniously displaying an urn on a supporting surface comprising:
- a generally flat surface having opposing ends, a top side on which the urn is placed, and a bottom side;
- a lip on the top side of the flat surface to minimize undesired movement of the urn;
- and
- at least four protruding posts to be gripped by the urnbearers, wherein the posts are connected to the flat surface by hinges positioned at the opposing ends of the flat surface, the posts are rotatable from a first position extending laterally away from the flat surface thereby permitting the urnbearers to hold the device in a horizontal position, to a second position extending transversely from the bottom side of the flat surface and configured to maintain the flat surface in a horizontal position relative to the supporting surface allowing the flat surface to act as a table.
A device for ceremoniously transporting a funerary urn by at least two urnbearers and for ceremoniously displaying an urn on a supporting surface comprising:
- a generally flat surface having opposing ends with braces, a top side on which the urn is placed, and a bottom side having post receptacles;
- a lip on the top side of the flat surface to minimize undesired movement of the urn;
- and
- at least four removable protruding posts to be gripped by the urnbearers, wherein the posts are movable from a first position where the posts interface the braces at the opposing ends of the flat surface and extend laterally away from the flat surface thereby permitting the urnbearers to hold the device in a horizontal position, to a second position where the posts interface the post receptacles and extend transversely from the bottom side of the flat surface and maintain the flat surface in a horizontal position relative to the supporting surface allowing the flat surface to act as a table.
A device for ceremoniously transporting a funerary urn by at least two urnbearers and for ceremoniously displaying an urn on a supporting surface comprising:
- a generally flat surface having opposing ends, a top side on which the urn is placed, and a bottom side;
- a structure defining a recess in the top side of the flat surface to minimize undesired movement of the urn;
- and
- at least four protruding posts to be gripped by the urnbearers, wherein the posts are connected to the flat surface by hinges positioned at the opposing ends of the flat surface, the posts are rotatable from a first position extending laterally away from the flat surface thereby permitting the urnbearers to hold the device in a horizontal position, to a second position extending transversely from the bottom side of the flat surface and configured to maintain the flat surface in a horizontal position relative to the supporting surface allowing the flat surface to act as a table.
