This is a common problem for ferret owners who live in apartments, etc (we
live in a rented house).
 
We found a nice box at Pier One Imports in the photo frames section.  It is
made of wood with a slide out drawer and the front of the drawer has a
holder for a photograph.  Mary thinks you put a picture on the front and
store other photos inside.  I think you could alternatively use it as a
jewelry box.
 
In any case, it cost between $10 and $20, looks like a decorative wooden
box, and allows us to keep Ralph's remains in the living room until such
time as we can afford a house of our own.
 
I don't know if Pier One Imports is national or not - they are a store that
features imported furniture and housewares.  While some of their stuff is
expensive, most is relatively affordable and tasteful.  If you can't find a
store like that, I would think you could try looking for a store or craft
place that has jewelry boxes.  You might be able to find a jewelry box that
looks nice for a lot less money than a pet urn.
