Sculpture ashes urn 'Tree of Life' with glass ash pearl

A place where memory takes root

Sometimes you want more than an urn on a shelf. You want somewhere to light a candle, rest a photograph, or simply pause for a moment. The Tree of Life cremation urn is designed with exactly that in mind: a resting place for ashes that also becomes a small, personal memorial you shape yourself.

Powder-coated steel built to last

The sculpture is made from 2 mm steel and finished using a powder-coating process. This is not a painted surface. During powder coating, negatively charged powder is applied electrostatically to the steel and then cured in an oven, bonding to form a dense, even coating. The result is a deep black finish that holds its colour over time. Two practical benefits follow from this: the coating prevents the steel from rusting, and the surface is significantly more scratch-resistant than conventional lacquer.

A memorial space that is yours to arrange

The base of this urn for ashes serves a dual purpose. It holds the ashes securely and acts as a surface for the objects that matter to you: a small candle, a cutting of flowers, a stone brought back from somewhere meaningful. The bond you shared finds a tangible place here.

At the centre of the tree sits a hook. The sculpture is supplied with a glass ash pearl, which can hang from this hook. You might also choose to hang a ring, a chain, or a small pendant that belonged to the person you are remembering. The Tree of Life has long carried meaning across cultures as a symbol of connection between generations, of roots that persist. Hanging something personal from the hook makes that symbolism specific to this person rather than symbolic in a general way.

Simple to assemble, easy to maintain

The sculpture arrives with screws, locking pins and a fitting guide. Two screws secure the tree to the top of the base. Once filled, the urn is closed using the locking pins, which fit into laser-cut openings for a precise, stable fit.

Caring for the finish

Powder-coated surfaces should not be cleaned with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. A soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of washing-up liquid and water is all that is needed to keep the surface clean and the finish intact. Because this funeral urn is designed for indoor use, you do not need to account for moisture, frost or temperature variation.

Making it personal

The hook at the centre of the tree is an open invitation. The glass ash pearl supplied with the sculpture can hold a small portion of ashes, giving a second, visible point of connection. Or you might choose to hang the necklace your mother always wore, or a charm that carried meaning between you. Either way, the sculpture becomes something unmistakably tied to this particular person rather than a memorial in the abstract.
