Location: █████ ██████, [REDACTED]

Dear Mr.████,

I am sorry to inform you that we have to close down our facility due to the many complaints from your customers. We will be closing it down for good, but if you can keep this urn for a few more days, I can offer you ten thousand dollars for it. I have tried to contact the [REDACTED] government several times but they refuse to do anything about the problem.

– Mr.████

A number of tests involving SCP-311 have shown no adverse effects on humans or animals when placed in the incinerator. However, under certain circumstances, SCP-311 can cause one or more of its contents to explode violently. The force and speed of the explosion depends on the amount of energy stored within SCP-311's contents.
