Wooden Urn for Ashes 'Ricordo' natural spruce with golden band

What natural wood quietly holds

Not every farewell calls for ornament or shine. Sometimes it is plain, honest material that says the most about who someone was. The Ricordo is a cremation urn turned from untreated spruce, finished with a single golden band. That combination of restraint and quiet refinement is what makes it distinct.

Untreated spruce: natural grain visible in every piece

Spruce is known for its fine grain and the flame figures that form as the tree grows. Because this wood is left untreated, those markings remain fully visible. No two urns are identical: the colour variation shifts from piece to piece, which gives each Ricordo its own unrepeatable character. The golden band encircling the urn adds definition without interrupting the calm the wood already carries.

A material that gives something back

Hold the Ricordo and the wood gradually takes on the temperature of your hands. That is not incidental. It is simply what this material does, and it makes the urn feel present in a way that stone or metal does not. The bond you shared finds something tangible in that moment.

Crafted for indoor use only

Untreated spruce is a natural material and responds to its environment. Moisture and temperature changes will cause it to shrink, shift or discolour over time. The Ricordo is made for indoor use only. Kept on a dry, stable surface inside the home, it will hold its character for as long as you need it to. It is not suitable for outdoor placement.

Suitable for use with an ashes bag only

The Ricordo is designed for use with an ashes bag. This urn for ashes is not suitable for placing ashes directly inside the chamber. Using an ashes bag keeps placement straightforward and ensures the urn is used as it was intended.

A choice that feels right

If you are looking for something honest, with no gloss or decoration, but with a presence that stays, the Ricordo fits that. The untreated wood is neither polished nor lacquered, and that is a considered decision. The urn shows itself as it is. There is a kind of respect in that, both for the material and for the person you are honouring with it.
