Wood Urns Capture Warmth and Serenity
Warm to the eye and smooth to the touch, wood
urns have an endearing appeal that soothes and comforts
the bereaved. A creation of nature shaped by the hands of man,
each urn is lovingly fashioned from natural solid wood, and capable
of bringing understated elegance to any memorial display founded
in honor of the deceased.
A tranquil focus for the bereaved at a
memorial service or on the mantelpiece at home, wood urns have an enduring and endearing character that makes them one of
the most admired urns available today.
The Life of Wood Urns
From nature to your home; a variety of hardwoods
are procured from renewable forests for the creation of your loved
one's memorial. Woods such as Oak, Mahogany, Cherry, Maple and
exotics like Burmese Teak wood and Lignum Vitae bring their own
personality to the wood urns crafted.
Different Styles of Wood Urns
Here is a partial list of the different
types of wood urns we carry from our online catalog:
Assembled Wood Urns - Rectangular
or angled wood urns are made from the solid planks of wood cut to
specified dimensions. The urns are then hand assembled with the
greatest of care by skilled carpenters and craftsmen with reassurance
that each urn preserves its distinctive character.
Turned Wood Urns - Cylindrical
or vase shaped wood urns are painstakingly turned on a wood lathe
to create the handsomely unique shapes available. Wood turning
is considered an art form and as such each urn crafted is a resulting
work of art.
Inlaid Wood Urns - Featuring beautifully
crafted designs from a multitude of inlaid woods, these urns may
feature geometric patterns, spiritual motifs or tranquil scenery.
Hand Carved Wood Urns - Crafted
by skilled artists, these wood urns embody the look of a master
creation. Carefully executed works of art, each urn, with its
detailed intricacies, will beckon for consideration from its resting
place.
Laser Engraved Wood Urns - Utilizing
the modern technology of lasers, these wood urns bring new possibilities
as detailed and complex designs are commonly feasible. This media
now makes possible the likeness of a loved one to adorn the urn's
surface along with personalization.
Wooden urns unmistakably bring a demure
sense of occasion to a memorial service, interment or scattering.
As the grain of each wood urn is as individual in character as
the life being mourned, then it seems only fitting that a wood
urn is selected to memorialize the passing of a life.
