Green cremation urn for ashes 'Tree of Life'

A tree that keeps growing, long after loss

The Tree of Life is not a decorative flourish. It carries a specific idea: that the roots of who someone was, and the branches of what they gave to others, do not disappear. If you are looking for a cremation urn that holds that thought at its center, this green fiberglass urn does exactly that.

How a fiberglass urn is made

Fiberglass urns go through a demanding production process that rewards close attention. A structural core is formed from fiberglass, resin and plaster. Over that, two or three thick coats of lacquer mixed with plaster are applied by hand, with a water rinse between each layer. Color is worked in at a specific stage, followed by a coat of varnish. A second varnish coat follows, then the surface is smoothed and polished to the finished result. The layered build is what gives these urns their depth of color and their resilience.

What the color and the motif mean

Green is not a neutral choice here. It speaks to growth and continuity, to the idea that a life does not simply stop. The Tree of Life motif holds that meaning in a tangible form: the bond you shared branches outward into memory, into the people your loved one shaped, into the character they left behind. If that resonates with the life you are remembering, this urn for ashes gives it a place.

Designed for indoor use

This urn is intended for a permanent indoor position, whether on a windowsill, a shelf or a quiet corner of a room. The polished, varnished finish is suited to a dry indoor environment. Keep the urn away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the depth of the green. It can be used with or without an ashes bag.

Practical notes on the material

Fiberglass is lighter than ceramic or natural stone, and it behaves differently under impact. Rather than shattering, the material has a slight give, which makes it more forgiving than porcelain if it is knocked. The multi-layer lacquer and varnish finish protects the surface well in normal indoor conditions. Place the urn on a stable, level surface to avoid any risk of it sliding.

Making the space your own

Sometimes it is the simplicity of an object that leaves room for everything around it. A framed photograph, a small personal item, something that speaks to who your loved one was: placed alongside this cremation urn, those details turn a surface into a memorial space that is genuinely yours. If you would like help thinking through how to arrange that space, we are happy to talk it through with you at whatever pace suits.
