● Choose your preferred place where you can fully focus without getting distracted.
● Prepare the needed tools, such as soft cloth, gloves, and any tools necessary for opening the urn like screwdriver or a wrench, and ensure that they are clean to prevent the metal urn’s surface from getting scratched or damaged.
● Check the urn if there are visible seams, screws, or any other indications of an opening mechanism. If it has a threaded lid, gently rotate it counter clockwise until it comes loose. Meanwhile, if it has a bottom panel, use the apt tool to unscrew the screws holding it in place. If it has screws, use the appropriate tool to carefully remove them.
