Our goal is to help you celebrate and honor your loved one with a beautiful and functional vessel crafted from nature with care and devotion. Each urn is made from hardwoods such as maple, black walnut, and cherry. The urns are skillfully hand-turned on a wood lathe with the utmost of care, then finely finished to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.
