Wooden cremation urns are a popular choice for families that plan to keep the ashes at home for a while before making a decision on the final resting place. The warm burnished glow of the wood blends in with the home decor.
Wood comes in so many decorative styles to choose from, with finishes ranging from hand rubbed mahogany, dark walnut, and cherry to lighter oaks and pine, and we carry many styles that are made by American craftsman.
Mahogany wood urns have a rich red tone. This locking memorial box has gentle curves and high gloss finish. The burl wood lid opens to reveal not only storage for the ashes, but a lift out tray to store special mementos like jewelry, notes, or pictures. 
Several of the memorial chest styles are ideal if you have never transferred the ashes from the plastic box you received at the funeral home or crematorium. Don’t feel bad about this, it’s not uncommon for families to realize they’ve been storing a box of ashes in the closet for years and are finally strong enough to give their loved one a proper resting place.
This actually happened to a friend of our family. Their brother died suddenly and when they went to California to clean out his place, they discovered his partner’s ashes in the closet. They had been in there for 10 years.
The boxes are secure and sized to accommodate the plastic container, you will not disturb the cremains and can simply place the box inside the urn, lock it and have peace.
This style of urn looks nice if you choose to keep it in the home, as the natural beauty of the wood will blend into most home decor.
If you plan to transport ashes to another location and have to pass through airport security. Wood is a good choice because it will pass the TSA screening.
