Bronze cremation urn 'Waves' with candle holder

A work of art that stays, just as the memory does

If you are looking for something that goes beyond simply keeping ashes safe, something that genuinely reflects who your loved one was, this bronze cremation urn from the 'Waves' series carries that kind of meaning.

Hand-cast bronze by a Dutch artist

The 'Waves' urn is part of a bronze tree of life series, designed and hand-modelled by a Dutch artist. Each piece is cast individually, which means no two urns are identical. Bronze has been used for centuries in art and memorial work, precisely because it endures. The casting process is labour-intensive, and bronze as a raw material holds an intrinsic value that most other materials do not. That is reflected in the price, and it is visible in the piece itself.

What 'Waves' means for your loved one

Waves carry a particular kind of significance. They move, they return, they hold energy even in stillness. If your loved one was someone who brought life into a room, who kept things moving, who gave those around them a sense of direction, this urn for ashes holds something of that. Choosing a name like 'Waves' for a memorial piece is not incidental. It is a considered way of giving the memory a shape that feels true to the bond you shared.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor placement

Because this urn is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, you have the freedom to decide where the memory feels most at home. On a shelf in the living room, or in a sheltered spot in the garden: bronze holds its own in both settings.

Practical details, clearly set out

Bronze is one of the most durable materials used in memorial work, but there is one practical step worth knowing about before you place the urn.

Sealing after filling

Once the urn has been filled, the base cap should be sealed with adhesive to protect the contents from moisture. This is a straightforward step you can carry out yourself, and it ensures the ashes are permanently secured. The urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag.

Adding a personal inscription

A funeral urn can be more than a place to keep ashes. It can be a lasting personal memorial. If you would like to personalise this urn, engraving is available as an option. A name, a date or a short phrase can be added, turning this piece into something that belongs specifically to you and to the person you are remembering.
