Friendship and Truth Stone Urn

cobalt blue marble urn

The Truth and Friendship marble urn is the first memorial urn featured in our Shades of Blue Cremation Urn Collection. The Urn Garden artists have crafted this cremation urn from the ancient stone Lapis Lazuli , the stone of friendship and truth.  The blue stone is said to encourage harmony in relationships and help its wearer to be authentic and give his or her opinion openly.

Lapis features deep shades of blue dusted with golden flecks of pyrite and intermittent gray or white calcite deposits and takes an excellent polish that shimmers like a star. This ancient stone was a favorite with the Egyptians who crafted it for jewelery, and used the crushed minerals for eyeshadow.

The Bird’s Cry is a Beautiful Song

Phoenix Reborn by Iron-Phoenix

A Phoenix is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.

Inspired by the image of the Phoenix, the Urn Garden artists have created a keepsake urn in the style of body art.

Irish traditions run deep even after loved ones pass away. As cremation becomes a more popular, economical and convenient option for many Irish families, so does having a portion of their loved one’s ashes preserved in a Celtic knot keepsake urn.

Our metal Celtic keepsake urns are sculpted and cast using the ancient lost wax method, then hand painted and trimmed in Celtic knots and brilliant Austrian crystals, which some believe have a power of their own.

Celtic Starburst keepsake cremation urn

Perhaps one of the most notable symbols in Celtic history, they are also called mystic or endless knots. You cannot see a beginning or an end, which symbolizes the endless and timeless nature of a person’s spirit or an uninterrupted life cycle. Celtic knot cremation urns honor one’s Irish heritage by featuring the delicate twists and turns of the knot as well as incorporating other Irish symbols such as shamrocks and various shades of emerald green.

Irish Spirit Celtic Cross Keepsake Urn

Keepsake urns are mean to hold only a small amount of cremated remains, from as little as one cubic inch on up. Some families divide a loved one’s remains into several keepsake urns for kin to take home. They can also be used as a keepsake memorial after the remaining ashes are buried or scattered.

Celtic knot keepsake urns are beautiful enough to display in a designated location in one’s home or can be placed away safely in a memory box or hope chest.

Celtic Cross Cremation Urn

Many of the styles shown here are smaller, if a full size adult urn is needed, one of our most popular styles is the Celtic Cross that can accomodate engraving names and dates if desired.
