This is a burial flag case for a co-workers father. Korea/Vietnam veteran and his ashes rest in the base.

I have made a dozed or so flag cases and have always put them on a small flat base to avoid the long mitre, then I can attach with screws allowing the removal if needed. This time I just added the box below.

A few years back I made one for similar reasons and decided to jig up and make fifteen at the same time. Mine was much simpler than yours as it did not have the pedestal. I solved the base miter problem by making a jig that held the base and one side together for cutting the miter on my tablesaw. I wish you had posted a pic of the back side. Good idea.
