Art, I don't put any finish on the inside of the urns that I make. I don't think it would serve any purpose unless it is just personal preference.

Thank you for supporting veterans, we appreciate it very much.

No finish inside

It’s not like folks are going to peek inside to show off the ashes.

No finish inside here either. The ashes should be oven dry, so that shouldn’t affect the wood. If you want an easier option, provide a appropriate sized plastic bag. If the urn is a small opening hollow form, insert bag, blow it up like a balloon, then insert funnel to fill, then twist and wire tie the top.
