do wonder why they open from the bottom
maybe to prevent them from being opened and spilling out i would guess

bottom opening makes it hard to use for anything but ashes

When a revered member of the local turning community died, another

A sealed container... e.g. glue. Also the top is beautiful
without any openings that might swell in life and such.

Good reason to be opened only from the bottom.
