Many of our adult urns are made-to-order & produced in small batches or individually finished, rather than held as bulk inventory.

The Wooden Cross Adult Urn is designed for:

  • Full-capacity storage of ashes (adult size)
  • Permanent memorial placement
  • Home display, burial, or columbarium use

If you require a smaller symbolic piece, our keepsake urns or memorial jewelry are more appropriate.

The Hand-Carved Cross Wooden Urn is rarely chosen at the beginning.

It is usually selected later, when the immediate decisions have passed, and what remains is quieter. More deliberate. Less about what is expected, and more about what feels right to keep.

The wood carries its own direction. The grain does not run uniformly, and the surface is not identical from one piece to the next. It shifts slightly, depending on how it was cut, how it was shaped, and how it has settled over time. The carving follows that movement, not imposing itself onto the material, but working within it.

The cross is not added. It is cut into the surface itself - formed as part of the structure, not placed on top of it. It does not need explanation. For some, it represents faith. For others, it represents continuity, or the idea that what has ended does not simply stop. 

It remains fixed. Unchanging. Not influenced by light, not altered by angle. It does not draw attention outward. It holds its position, quietly, as part of the piece.

This kind of urn is often chosen by those who prefer to take responsibility for the process themselves. To decide where it belongs, how it is kept, and what role it plays within the space around it. It does not require ceremony to exist. It becomes part of the environment, placed intentionally, not formally.

There is no attempt to soften or disguise what it is. It is made, carved, and finished with purpose. The variation in the wood, the depth of the carving, the slight differences from one piece to the next - these are not imperfections. They are what make it real.

It does not define remembrance.

It allows you to place it where it belongs.

FAQ's

Why choose a wooden urn?

Wood offers a warmer, more natural presence compared to other materials. Each piece carries subtle variation, giving it a more organic and personal character.

How do I know what size urn I need?

As a general guide, you’ll need approximately1 cubic inch of capacity per pound of body weight. For example, an adult weighing 70kg (154 lb) typically requires around 154 cubic inches. If you are unsure, choosing a slightly larger urn is always the safer option.

Can ashes be divided between multiple urns?


Yes. Many families choose to divide ashes across several urns or keepsakes so each person can keep a portion. This is a common and practical approach, especially for households in different locations.

Do urns need to be sealed?

Most urns come with secure lids that are sufficient for normal use. If you prefer a permanent seal, a small amount of adhesive can be applied, but this is optional and depends on how you intend to use the urn.

Are these urns suitable for keeping at home?

Yes. All the urns we offer are selected with home placement in mind. Designs range from minimal to decorative, allowing you to choose something that fits naturally within your space rather than feeling out of place.


What is the difference between a full urn and a keepsake urn?

A full urn is designed to hold the complete ashes of an adult, while a keepsake urn holds a smaller portion. Keepsakes are often used for sharing ashes among family members or keeping a small amount separately.
