Stainless steel keepsake urn 'Oval Tree'

A tree that stands firm when everything changes

Some symbols need no explanation. A tree has roots that hold, branches that reach outward, and a trunk that endures. The 'Oval Tree' keepsake urn carries that image at its center: a tree set within an oval form, present on every surface as a quiet expression of the bond you shared. Not decoration. A reminder that the connection between you and the person you loved does not disappear.

RVS 316 stainless steel

This keepsake urn is made from RVS 316 stainless steel, a grade that offers superior corrosion resistance compared to the more common 304 type. The alloy combines iron, chromium, nickel and carbon in proportions that make the material exceptionally stable over time. The brushed surface has a directional grain that catches light differently depending on the angle and the time of day, giving the urn a shifting, understated luster rather than a flat shine.

Made by hand in the Netherlands

Specialist craftspeople in the Netherlands make each 'Oval Tree' by hand. That process takes time and precision, and the lead time reflects this: typically four to six weeks from order to delivery. Production often moves faster, but we quote the honest margin so you are never caught short. If you need a current lead time before ordering, get in touch via chat or email and we will check for you.

Designed for outdoor placement as well as indoor

If you are looking for a keepsake urn that holds its dignity in an outdoor setting, this one is built for it. RVS 316 stainless steel resists rain, frost and prolonged moisture exposure. There is no coating to flake, no surface to fade, and no structural compromise over years of outdoor placement.

Practical reassurance: durability, sealing and the ashes bag

This mini urn for ashes carries a ten-year guarantee, which reflects the confidence placed in the material and the making. The closure is fully airtight and withstands significant tensile force, meaning the ashes can be placed loose inside if you prefer. If there is any chance you may wish to move the ashes at a later date, the included ashes bag is worth using: it makes that process straightforward. All filling materials are supplied with the urn. The process is simple and requires no prior experience. You can also ask the crematorium or funeral director to fill the urn on your behalf. Should the urn ever need to be reopened for any reason, our technicians can do that for you.

How to fill the urn

Everything you need is included. Place the ashes bag loosely inside the urn, leaving part of it protruding to act as a funnel, then pour the ashes in. Secure the bag with the included cable tie and tuck it fully into the opening. If you are not using the ashes bag, a separate funnel is recommended to avoid spillage. Before fitting the lid, make sure the inner seating edge is completely free of dust, grease and moisture using the cloth provided. Remove the protective film from the lid, align it carefully with the opening and press it firmly into place in a single movement. A correctly closed lid sits flush with the body of the urn.

The meaning the tree already carries

The tree on this urn speaks to something enduring: growth, shelter, the kind of presence that does not diminish. As a keepsake urn, the 'Oval Tree' is intended to hold a portion of the ashes while others may be scattered or placed elsewhere. The oval form keeps the image contained and complete on every face of the urn, so it reads clearly whether placed on a shelf, a windowsill or a garden surface. You are choosing a form that does not require explanation to the people who see it.
