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

Simplicity that says what words cannot

Sometimes it is the quiet, unadorned thing that reaches furthest. The Ricordo is a cremation urn made from untreated spruce, with a single gold-coloured heart as its only adornment. No superfluous detail, no deliberate ornamentation. Just the honest grain of the wood and the soft gleam of that one golden heart.

Untreated spruce: natural character

Spruce has a fine, natural grain with flame figuring and shifting colour variation. Because this wood is left untreated, every marking is fully visible and undisturbed. No two pieces are identical. That makes each Ricordo a genuinely unique object, shaped by the tree itself. Hold this urn and the wood gradually takes on the temperature of your hand. That is not incidental. It is precisely what wood does, and why it feels right at a moment like this.

A heart held in gold

The gold-coloured heart on the Ricordo is not decoration for its own sake. It is a considered choice: the love you and your person shared, made visible in a single symbol. Not sentimental, but quietly present. For those saying goodbye to someone they loved deeply, that heart says exactly enough.

Craftsmanship details

• Untreated spruce with visible grain and flame figuring
• Gold-coloured heart as the sole decorative element
• Every urn carries a unique wood pattern formed during growth

Practical and reliable in use

Spruce is a durable and stable material, but it does ask for the right conditions. Untreated wood is sensitive to moisture and direct sunlight. Kept indoors in a dry spot away from direct sun, the Ricordo will stay beautiful for many years. That is not a great deal to ask, only the attention you would give to anything precious.

For use with an ash bag

The Ricordo is suitable for use with an ash bag only. This protects both the wood and the ashes, and ensures safe, hygienic storage. If you are unsure which ash bag to use or how to place the ashes, we are happy to guide you through it.

Your choice, your memory

If you are looking for an urn for ashes that carries quiet meaning and sits naturally in your home, the Ricordo is a choice that simply makes sense. The gold heart also invites a small personal arrangement around it: a photograph, a candle, something that belonged to you both. Those small gestures matter, and this urn leaves room for them.
