Ceramic funeral urn 'Kormos' (treetrunk)

An urn that stays with you

Some objects carry a presence that needs no explanation. The Kormos is one of them. Shaped entirely by hand, glazed by hand, and unmistakably itself the moment you see it, this ceramic funeral urn asks nothing of you except to find the right place for it.

Handmade ceramic with genuine character

Every Kormos is formed and glazed by a single pair of hands. That process takes patience and precision, and the result is that no two urns are identical. Small differences in colour, glaze depth and surface texture are not flaws. They are the direct evidence of real craft. The pale ceramic tone gives the urn a quiet, settled presence that belongs in a still, permanent spot indoors.

Part of a collection made with purpose

The Kormos belongs to a collection called 'Is er leven na de dood...?' ('Is there life after death...?'), developed by a ceramic artist who worked alongside bereaved families to consider what an urn can genuinely mean. Not as something placed and forgotten, but as an object that keeps the connection alive between who was here and who remains. The bond you shared deserves a place that reflects it. This collection was made with exactly that in mind.

Practical and reliable in use

The Kormos is designed for indoor use and is suitable for use with an ashes bag. That combination gives you clarity about how the urn is used and ensures it retains its form and appearance over time.

Care and longevity

Ceramic is a stable, durable material under normal indoor conditions. Keep the Kormos away from damp areas such as a bathroom, as sustained moisture can affect the glaze over time. On a dry, stable surface in the home, this urn for ashes will hold its character for as long as you choose to keep it there.

Unique by nature

Because each piece is made entirely by hand, the Kormos you receive is always a one-off. The pale tone, the handformed surface, the slight variations in glaze: these are what make it recognisably this piece, from this collection, for this person.

• Hand-formed and hand-glazed throughout by a single ceramic artist
• Part of the artistic collection 'Is er leven na de dood...?'
• Each piece carries its own variation in colour and glaze as a result of the handmade process
