    Don’t ask why, but any tips to breaking a seal on a funeral urn? Tried heat, tried acetone, can’t break the glue seal. Don’t really wanna break the urn itself but may have to.

    I didn't know they were sealed. In the movies the top always comes off and they get spilled. Are movies not accurate ? :eek:

    I want to say the fragments are probably sealed within a bag inside the urn but I don't know now, the sealed lid has me questioning that.
    Razor?

    "If the urn is sealed with wax or adhesive, try to open it by soaking a cotton swab in fingernail polish remover or an epoxy solvent. Repeatedly run the swab along the sealed portion of the urn. You might have to wiggle the lid several times or use a flathead screwdriver to open the urn"

    If the seal is that tight, it is filled with sand and you M-I-L is now Soylent Green

    Dave Wolfe I know nuttin!

    Ive seen this movie before. I think it starts with someones head spinning around and ends with a portal to hell opening up.

    I think you need a creepy drunk priest as your backup.
