At DIY Funeral Products, we strive to get you premium quality at an affordable price.

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

As the crafting process begins as soon as you place your order, the Obsidian Crest Urn takes up to 7 business days to produce, followed by another 5-7 business days for delivery across USA, Australia and New Zealand.


Delivery times may vary slightly depending on location and demand, but most orders arrive within 9-18 days of ordering (including processing time).

This approach allows us to prepare each piece with care and respect, and support those who have chosen a personal and self-directed way to memorialize their loved ones.

We offer a 14-day return window for unused items in their original packaging, and we also replace or refund for any faults or defects. If anything isn’t right, we’ll work with you to resolve it promptly. For more information, please refer to our return policy here.

The Obsidian Crest 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 Obsidian Crest Urn presents a refined and understated presence through its deep charcoal body and finely textured surface. The finish carries a subtle, speckled pattern that gives the material depth and variation, allowing it to interact with light in a soft, controlled way rather than appearing flat.

Encircling the form are engraved metallic bands with repeating leaf motifs, adding structure and detail without overwhelming the darker base. The engraving is consistent and precise, creating a continuous visual rhythm across the lid, shoulder, and base. These elements frame the urn and provide contrast while maintaining an overall restrained aesthetic.

The composition is balanced and deliberate. This is a piece suited to those who prefer a low-profile, quietly detailed memorial, where texture and craftsmanship take precedence over bold color or symbolism.

For families taking a more direct and personal approach, this urn offers a considered option that delivers quality and detail without the additional costs often introduced through traditional funeral providers.

FAQ's

Why choose an aluminum urn?

Aluminum provides a lighter-weight alternative while still maintaining strength and durability. It’s often preferred for its clean finish and ease of handling.

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 lbs) 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.
