Mahogany Wood Cremation Urns

Mahogany is the national tree of the Dominican Republic and Belize and appears on the national flag of Belize.

The name mahogany is used when referring to numerous varieties of darker hardwood.  Mahogany  generally has a straight grain with a reddish-brown color that darkens over time. When polished, the grain glows with a reddish sheen.

Natural beauty and warmth radiates from our carved Mahogany memorial urns.  Antique brass finial and feet add a touch of elegance to these handsome urns.

Irish Celtic Cremation Urns for Ashes

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.

The Lion in the Closet. Brave Heart Lion Urn

Brave Heart Lion Keepsake Urn

This sculpture by one of the Urn Garden artists keeps coming around, and there’s always a wild story to go with it.  The latest is a client who was involved with a Las Vegas animal rescue operation back in the ’80’s. She handled exotics.

Big cats and monkeys.

Funny thing, this story had a familiar ring to it.

Turns out, she had the ashes of a lioness that had been in the closet all these years. She stumbled on to our Brave Heart lion keepsake urn while shopping for a different style cremation urn for another sad occasion.

One look and she knew she had to deal with the lion in the closet. This urn will be perfect as she only has possession of half the lion’s ashes.  This urn is designed for keepsake size portions and even though it won’t accommodate all of the cremains, she has a plan.

Lion King Bronze Urn for Human Ashes, Made in America

On a larger more human scale, the bronze Lion King cremation urn has an adult capacity and is also made here in the USA. A bit more expensive, families commission this sculpture style and tend to only want top quality premium products for their loved one, no matter the cost.
