ABSTRACT:
An urn-like cannister for storing and transporting cremated remains, preferably of a molded plastic material, includes a pliable lid with sealing edges for enclosure of the remains in a substantially water and air tight environment. The cannister has a flanged portion around its top periphery and tapered locking tabs outwardly extending on its sidewalls and in spaced relationship to the cannister flange. The cannister is adapted to be inserted into one of an array of like openings formed in a niche plate, of a type having a recessed flange surrounding each niche opening. Upon insertion, the flange and locking tabs of the cannister engage opposing surfaces of the niche plate flange to securely hold the cannister in place. The niche plate opening is then closed by a scroll plate which is attached to the niche plate by threaded tamper proof fasteners.
