Wooden Urn for Ashes 'Cube' natural lime

Simplicity that stays

Some forms don't need to explain themselves. The Cube is a cremation urn in untreated lime wood, shaped into a quiet, cubic form that asks nothing of the room it sits in. That restraint is precisely what makes it a fitting resting place.

Untreated lime wood with visible character

Lime wood is known for its fine grain and flame figuring, the natural patterns laid down as the tree grows. Because this urn is left untreated, those patterns remain fully visible. No lacquer, no stain, nothing applied to soften or conceal what the wood already offers. Every urn carries its own grain, its own gradation of colour. You are not choosing one from a set of identical objects. You are choosing this particular piece of wood, which looks exactly as it does and no other way.

Compatible with or without an ash bag

The Cube is suitable for use with or without an ash bag, so you can store the ashes in whichever way feels right for you.

What wood does that other materials don't

When you hold this urn for ashes, the wood takes on the temperature of your hand. That is not a small detail. It is simply what wood does, and it gives the Cube a presence that stone or metal cannot replicate. The bond you shared with the person you have lost does not disappear. This urn offers a quiet, fixed place for it.

Practical care for indoor use

Untreated wood is a living material. It responds to moisture and to changes in temperature, which means the Cube is designed for indoor use only. Keep it away from direct heat sources, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and ensure the wood stays dry. In ordinary indoor conditions, the urn holds its shape and appearance without any special treatment.

Giving meaning a place

The clean cubic form sits comfortably in a considered interior, or on a shelf or surface you have made into a personal place of remembrance. If you would like to connect a name, a date, or a short phrase to the urn, engraving is available as an option. A name alongside a birth date and date of death makes this urn unmistakably tied to one person. We are happy to talk through what is possible.
