Urn for ashes ‘Angel of Remembrance’ on pedestal in various colors

An angel that holds what you hold dear

If you are looking for something that does more than store ashes, something that genuinely reflects who that person was and what they meant to you, this cremation urn was made with exactly that in mind.

Designed from personal loss

The artist behind this urn is a Dutch sculptor with a background in figurative bronze art. After the sudden loss of his own son, his work changed direction entirely. His first angel figure began as a private tribute to his child and grew into a collection built around a single purpose: to bring some comfort to those left behind. That origin is visible in every detail. The angel's posture is quiet and considered. The hand-finishing is precise. The depth of the detailing only comes from someone who understands grief at first hand.

'I wish that heaven had visiting hours.'

Material and making

Each urn is made from high-quality PLA filament, a biodegradable plastic derived from natural materials. Every piece is hand-finished in the Netherlands in one of three finishes: bronze, bluestone or sandstone. Because the finishing is done by hand, no two urns are exactly alike. The combination of 3D precision and individual handwork is what makes that possible. This is an urn for ashes that holds the full volume of cremated remains, suitable for use with or without an ash bag.

What the angel can mean for the person you are remembering

An angel at rest, not triumphant but contemplative, carries a particular kind of meaning. It speaks to quiet presence: the feeling that someone is still close even though they are gone. That symbolism can be very personal. If the person you are remembering was someone who listened without fuss, who protected steadily and without drama, then this posture is not just decorative. It is a form of recognition. You can deepen that connection through your choice of finish. The solidity of bluestone, the softer historic quality of sandstone, or the stateliness of bronze: each one says something different about the person you are honoring.

Presentation and display

This funeral urn is presented on a matching pedestal, giving the piece the presence of a personal memorial rather than simply an object on a shelf. You choose the finish that fits both the space and the person. If you would like to make the display more personal still, the urn works well alongside a photograph, a meaningful object, or a framed piece of text placed nearby.

Practical care for an object that matters

PLA filament with a hand-applied finish is a robust combination, but this urn deserves a settled, sheltered position indoors. Prolonged direct sunlight can affect the color finish over time, so a spot away from windows in full sun is advisable. Keep the urn away from moisture and damp rooms. On a dry, stable surface indoors, the finish will stay in good condition for many years. The pedestal adds stability, but choosing a spot where the urn will not be knocked or disturbed gives the most reliable long-term protection.
