Wooden Urn for Ashes 'Ricordo' natural spruce

Simplicity that stays

Sometimes it is the quietest things that hold the most. The Ricordo is a cremation urn made from untreated spruce, with no lacquer, no stain, no added finish. What remains is the wood itself, and that is exactly enough.

Untreated spruce: honest material with real character

Spruce is known for its fine grain and the flame-like figuring that runs through the timber. No two boards are alike, and no two Ricordo urns are alike either. The colour variation you see in each piece develops during the growth of the tree and cannot be replicated. The surface breathes because the wood is untreated, and when you hold it, it takes on the temperature of your hand. That is not incidental. It is a quality of the material itself.

What the Ricordo carries

The clean, contemporary shape of the Ricordo lets the wood do the work. There is no ornament here because none is needed. The material speaks clearly on its own. This urn for ashes sits well in a quiet corner, on a shelf or a windowsill, present and considered without competing with its surroundings. The bond you shared with the person you have lost had its own quiet strength. The Ricordo reflects that.

Designed for use with an ash bag

The Ricordo is suitable for use with an ash bag only. Keep the urn indoors, on a dry surface, away from direct sunlight. With a little care in placement, the wood will hold its character for years to come.

Practical things worth knowing

Untreated wood calls for a considered spot. Moisture is the main factor to bear in mind: the Ricordo is designed for indoor use only and should not be placed anywhere prone to condensation or damp. Because the surface carries no protective coating, it is sensitive to marks and scratches. Handle it with dry hands and keep it on a stable, dry surface. Choosing a good place for this urn is not a constraint. It is part of giving it the care it deserves.

Every piece is unique

The grain, the flame figuring and the tonal variation in the spruce are different on every single piece. What you receive is that exact urn, with its own unrepeatable pattern. If you are looking for something that reflects the individuality of the person you are remembering, that is not a side note with the Ricordo. It is the point.
