Classic Wood Cremation Urns

Cremation: A new tradition

As more people choose cremation as a simple and cost-effective option for final arrangements, many new memorial customs, from the inspirational to the outlandish, have emerged which provide a way for families to honor their departed loved ones without the traditional casket burial. Chief among the multitude of options are these four choices for disposition of cremated remains:

1. Ground burial
2. Storage in a columbarium niche
3. Storage in an heirloom at home
4. Scattering

Why choose wood?

Wooden cremation urns are available to suit each of those four options. Wood is a wonderful choice as a material for an urn because it evokes the connection with traditional funerals with which wooden caskets are associated, yet allows you the freedom to have the final disposition  when, where, and how you choose. 

For use in a ground burial, we have many elegant and ornate handcrafted designs which will stand as a testament to the rich, full life lived by your departed loved one. We also have an ample selection of cost affordable hardwood urns which will provide dignity to your loved one's burial in a similar manner as a simple wooden casket.

Similarly, for storage in a niche at a funeral home or columbarium, many of our hardwood urns are built to fit into common niche sizes. We can also custom built wood urns to fit into specific dimensions, contact us for quotes or more information.

Our wood urns truly shine when used as an heirloom at home. Everything we offer is intended to convey beauty to accurately and appropriately honor the memory of your loved one, and that mission is ideally accomplished when the urn is showcased as an heirloom keepsake.

Finally, while we provide several wood urns specifically designed for ease of scattering, any of our cremation urns can be used in this capacity. Most of our wood urns are accessed via a bottom-opening panel which attaches with screws. This allows you to safely and securely transport the remains to any location, then simply remove the screws and the bottom panel to pour out the remains. After the scattering is complete, you still have the wooden keepsake as an heirloom memorial.

The natural characteristics of wood convey a soothing sense of peace and beauty. Oftentimes the wood is aromatic, and the textures and lines of each design make the memorial real and tactile. Each urn is individually finished to preserve the wood for generations and to emphasize the innate woodgrain patterns. Even our low-cost wood urns will stand the test of time because of the craftmanship we invest in producing each and every one of our hardwood cremation urns.
