Wooden Urn for Ashes 'Ricordo' natural spruce with band

Simplicity that stays

Sometimes it is the quietness of an object that says the most. The Ricordo is a cremation urn made from untreated spruce, with no varnish and no additives. Just the wood itself, with its own grain and flame figure.

Untreated spruce with its own character

Spruce has a strong, distinctive grain: flowing lines and flame patterns that run differently in every tree. Because this wood is left untreated, the surface stays exactly as the material comes. No lacquer to obscure the texture, no smoothing out. What you see is the wood as it is. The band around the urn gives the form a calm boundary that holds the simplicity together. Every Ricordo is its own piece, with color gradations that move from pale yellow through to soft brown.

Something you can hold

Untreated wood responds to touch. It takes on the temperature of your hand. That is not a small detail; it is what sets this material apart from stone or ceramic. When you hold the urn, there is something that gives a little. The bond you shared does not need to be written large into the material. Sometimes it is enough that something is simply present.

For indoor use

The Ricordo is intended for indoor use only. Spruce is a natural material and sensitive to moisture and changes in temperature. Placing it outside, even briefly, is not recommended. Kept indoors on a dry surface away from direct heat sources, this urn for ashes will remain in good condition over time. The urn is designed for use with an ash bag.

A choice you make yourself

If you are looking for a funeral urn that is present rather than prominent, one that does not decorate but simply holds, the Ricordo may be the right choice. Take the time you need to look at it, and if you would like to talk through options or have any questions, we are here at your own pace.
