Why Choose a Wood Urn?
Hardwood urns are beautiful, cost effective, and sustainable. Wooden urns are an ideal way to remember someone you've lost, and they can also make thoughtful gifts.
What Hardwood is Best for an Urn?
Hardwoods like oak, mahogany, and walnut are durable and can be polished to a high sheen, making them excellent choices for urns.
Caring for a Wood Urn
Keep the urn in a dry place and away from heat sources like radiators or fireplaces. If you store it outside your home, use a well-ventilated shed or garage.
How to Choose the Right Size Urn for Ashes?
Use one cubic inch per pound of body weight before cremation. For example, someone who weighed 125 lbs needs an urn of at least 125 in³. We offer 150 and 250 in³ urns.
