Funeral directors' house urn

The delivery of cremated remains to a family creates a very sensitive moment. Many funeral directors in Australia have looked for an attractive but economical container for them to hand the hurting relatives instead of the crematorium's harsh plastic box. When we discovered the professionals' need we developed this elegant urn veneered in Tasmanian blackwood with a durable polyurethane finish. Whether the remains are scattered or retained, the family has a quality keepsake. The top of these urns is designed specifically for individual funeral homes, with their own logo incorporated in a finely-marked and cut cameo frame; it is a simple in-house task to place a card bearing a name or message neatly within the frame. This provides a gentle long-term testimony to the caring service of the funeral home.

Access is through a wide port in the base which is securely retained by brass screws.
