The urn and pedestal are made of GRC (Glass Reinforced Cement). It is a composite material, consisting of high quality glass fibre, sand, cement and other additives. 

Benefits of GRC include: 
- Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) is more than 50% lighter in weight than traditional pre-cast concrete due to the use of high quality glass fibres.
- The use of glass fibres also acts as reinforcement for the concrete, making GRC significantly stronger and more durable than traditional concrete.
- GRC is tolerant of all weather conditions. It will not rust or rot, will not corrode, and is fire-proof.
- GRC has around a 40% lower environmental impact compared to traditional steel reinforced concrete products due to reduced cement usage, and reduced transport costs due to weight. Also, the main constituents of GRC are derived from naturally occurring, non-pollutant earth oxides.
