An URN is a VESSEL with a spigot, typically used to store and dispense liquids. It is usually made of metal or ceramic and has a lid and a handle. The term URN comes from the Latin word urna, meaning 'VESSEL'. Urns have been used since ancient times for a variety of purposes, including storing and pouring liquids such as wine, water, and oil. They are also often used in funerary rituals, as a way to honor the deceased.
