Wooden funeral urn

Every piece of wood tells its own story

Zebrano is not an ordinary timber. The broad, contrasting stripes and flame-like figuring that run through the grain are formed by the way the tree itself grows. No two boards are the same, which means no two urns are the same. If you are looking for something that genuinely reflects the individuality of the person you have lost, that fact alone offers a quiet kind of reassurance.

Craftsmanship and material

Zebrano is known for its pronounced grain and striking shift between light and dark. Shaping it well takes real precision. The timber has a strong character of its own, and a skilled maker works with that rather than against it, allowing the natural figuring to come fully into its own. The result is a cremation urn that feels less manufactured than it does grown.

Personalisation by engraving plate

If you would like to personalise the urn, an engraving plate can be added. It can carry a name, a date, or a short phrase that meant something between you. That turns this urn for ashes into more than a resting place. It becomes a lasting reference to who this person was to you. Take your time with the wording. It does not need to be grand to carry meaning.

What you hold in your hands

Wood responds to touch in a way that stone or metal simply does not. It absorbs the heat of your hands. For many people, that quality is the reason they choose a wooden urn. The connection you had with the person you loved can feel, in that moment of contact, briefly tangible again.

Compatible with ashes container and ashes bag

This funeral urn is suitable for use with both an ashes container and an ashes bag. Either fits without modification.

Practical care and indoor use

Zebrano is a durable timber, but it is intended for indoor use only. Moisture, direct sunlight and significant temperature fluctuations can cause the wood to move or change colour over time. Keep the urn in a dry, stable environment, away from windowsills and radiators. With straightforward care it will hold its appearance for many years. A soft, dry cloth is all that is needed to clean it.
