Grey marble funeral urn for indoors

No two stones are the same

If you are looking for something that reflects how individual and irreplaceable a person was, marble offers what very few materials can: a pattern that exists nowhere else on earth.

Craftsmanship and origin

The marble for this cremation urn is quarried in Asia, where large blocks of natural stone are extracted and shaped using specialist molds to form the body of the urn. From there, each piece is finished and polished by hand, a process that requires both precision and experience. You can see that care in the surface. The photograph gives you a reliable sense of how the urn looks, but your piece will differ slightly in color and veining, because the stone determines that.

• Quarried from natural stone and shaped using specialist molds
• Each urn hand-finished and polished individually
• Every piece carries its own distinct veining and tonal variation

The quiet presence of gray marble

Gray marble has a stillness to it. The white veins running through the stone were not designed. They formed under immense pressure, deep in the earth, over an extraordinary span of time. That origin gives this urn for ashes a depth of meaning that goes beyond its appearance. The bond you shared with the person you have lost deserves a place that honors it, and this stone does that simply by being what it is.

Personalization options

If you would like to personalize the urn, an engraving plate can be added. It can carry a name and date, a short phrase, or a single word that captures exactly who this person was to you. One suggestion worth considering: a sentence the two of you used, or the name of a place that held real meaning. That kind of detail makes the urn recognizably, unmistakably theirs.

Made for indoors

Marble is a natural material, and where you place this urn matters. This is not a minor consideration.

Practical care and placement

Because this marble contains a relatively high density of veining, moisture can travel through the stone. In freezing conditions that moisture expands, and the stone can crack. This funeral urn is intended for indoor use only and should never be placed outside, particularly anywhere exposed to rain or frost. We also recommend placing a plastic ash bag inside the urn before use. This protects the contents and makes the urn easier to move if you ever need to. The urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag.
