Could you make a wooden stand that will fit inside the urn? That's what I am having my father-in-law do for some tall clay planters that flank my doorway. I don't want to completely fill them with earth because one of them is in afternoon sun, and the other is in shade. (gotta rotate them when I water them) Up until now I filled the bottoms of the planters with large rocks, and set smaller plastic pots that fit the opening perfectly inside. Still, they don't sit level, so the stands idea works for me.
Good luck.
