Urn for ashes ‘Angel of Comfort’ in various colors

An angel that holds the connection

If you are looking for something that does more than store ashes, something that gives the bond you shared a visible, lasting form, the 'Angel of Comfort' was made with exactly that in mind.

Made in the Netherlands by an artist with a personal story

The sculptor behind this cremation urn has a background in figurative bronze art. After the sudden loss of his own son at a young age, his work shifted entirely. His first angel figure was a personal tribute. It grew into a collection shaped by compassion, attention and refined craftsmanship. You see that in every piece: the posture of the figure, the softness of the lines, the care given to every surface by hand.

'I wish that heaven had visiting hours.'

What the angel expresses

The figure is not decorative. The protective posture, the folded arms, the downward gaze: these are considered choices that give form to something you may find difficult to put into words. Shelter for the person you have lost. Stillness for yourself.

Symbolism with something to anchor to

An angel in this posture does not represent departure. It represents presence: a figure that enfolds, protects and remains. Placed on a windowsill or in a quiet corner of a room, the urn for ashes becomes a fixed point, somewhere the memory has a shape. You might place a photograph nearby, a personal object or a small candle, so the space becomes genuinely connected to this person.

Craftsmanship and material

The urn is made from high-quality PLA filament, a biodegradable plastic of natural origin. The material is durable, lightweight and well suited to the fine detail this figure requires. Each funeral urn is hand-finished in one of three finishes: bronze, bluestone or sandstone. Because the finishing is done by hand, no two urns carry exactly the same character.

Practical care and indoor use

The 'Angel of Comfort' is designed for indoor use only. PLA filament is stable and strong in a dry indoor environment, but persistent moisture can affect the hand-applied finish over time. Avoid placing the urn in a bathroom or directly beside an open window. To keep the bronze, bluestone or sandstone finish at its best, dust occasionally with a dry cloth. Do not use damp cloths or chemical cleaning products on the surface. The urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag.

Choosing the right finish

The three finishes, bronze, bluestone and sandstone, each give the figure a different presence in a room. If you are unsure which would suit the space you have in mind, we are happy to talk it through with you at whatever pace feels right.
