Rest in Peace
Handcrafted Contemporary Urn – Made in Canada
This contemporary urn is expertly handcrafted from premium Canadian hardwoods, including Black Walnut, Cherry, and White Oak. Each urn features a Canadian Maple inscription plate, customized to your specifications.
Thoughtfully designed, the interior is sized not only to hold cremains, but also to accommodate cherished keepsakes such as jewelry, photographs, or mementos.
Crafted from premium Canadian hardwoods—Black Walnut, Cherry, and White Oak—each urn is paired with a Canadian Maple inscription plate for personalization. The cross inlay and banding are thoughtfully matched based on wood type:
-
Walnut urns feature a dark Wenge cross with Maple banding
-
White Oak urns feature a dark Wenge cross with Cherry banding
-
Cherry urns feature a dark Wenge cross with Maple banding
Note: The woods used for the cross and banding may vary to provide good contrast.
