Wooden Urn for Ashes 'Cielo' natural lime

What lime wood carries quietly

Some materials feel right without needing a reason. Wood is one of them. The 'Cielo' is a cremation urn crafted from untreated lime wood, and it carries everything that comes with a natural material: no two pieces are the same, the grain runs its own course, and the colour shifts from one urn to the next. That is not inconsistency. That is character.

Untreated lime wood: what it means in practice

Lime wood is light in weight with a fine, even grain and subtle flame figuring across the surface. Because the 'Cielo' is untreated, there is no lacquer, oil or coating applied. You see and feel the material as it actually is. The result is a matte, understated surface that sits quietly in a considered space at home. Hold the urn and the wood gradually takes on the temperature of your hands. That is not a selling point someone invented. It is simply what wood does.

Simplicity as a deliberate choice

The 'Cielo' has a modern, pared-back form. No ornamentation, no gloss, nothing added for effect. If you are looking for a funeral urn that holds a presence in a room without drawing attention to itself, this design does that well. The fine grain and shifting colour tones give the piece visual depth that feels earned rather than applied. The bond you shared deserves a resting place that reflects it honestly.

Compatible with or without an ash bag

The 'Cielo' can be used with or without an ash bag, giving you the freedom to handle the ashes in whichever way feels most right for you.

Making it personal

If you would like to personalise this urn, engraving is available as an option. A name, a date, or a short phrase that belongs to who they were can be added, giving this piece of lime wood a meaning that is entirely your own.

Practical things worth knowing about untreated wood

Untreated wood responds to its environment. That is part of what makes it feel alive, and it is worth understanding before you choose where to place it.

Moisture, sunlight and where to position the urn

Because the 'Cielo' has no lacquer or protective finish, the wood is sensitive to moisture and direct sunlight. Position this urn indoors, away from humid rooms such as a bathroom, and keep it clear of direct sun, radiators or open fires. On a dry, stable surface in a settled indoor spot, the wood will remain in good condition for years. This is not a limitation of the product. It is the nature of untreated natural wood, and part of what makes the choice meaningful.

Every piece is its own

Because lime wood is a natural material, each urn for ashes differs slightly from the last. The grain pattern, the flame figuring and the tone are never identical. What you receive is a piece that looks exactly like no other.
