Cross Urns
Our Cross Urns collection is for the person whose faith was the organizing fact of their life, and for families who want that faith to be the first thing seen. This selection features artwork such as the cross, the Celtic cross, the crucifix, and angel wings, available in painted or enamel aluminum and solid American hardwoods including walnut, alder, and oak.
We offer two-tone engraving of names and dates on our aluminum and Signature wood urns. These pieces serve to honor a life lived with the steady hope that death is not the end.
For many, the cross represents the core of their understanding: the reality of Christ's death and resurrection, the gift of forgiveness, and the promise that death is not the final word. It is a symbol of a hope that remains even when the world feels uncertain.
This collection is made for those who embodied that hope every day. Their faith was seen in the quiet ways they cared for others, the grace offered before a meal, and the steadiness they maintained when facing life's most difficult news. By choosing these symbols, you honor a life that was built upon that very foundation.
The collection features several distinct designs, including the cross, the crucifix, angel wings, and the Celtic cross. The Celtic cross, characterized by the ring surrounding the arms, traces its lineage back to the monasteries of Ireland, often serving as a connection to a family's ancestral heritage.
Placing these symbols on a memorial is an honest reflection of the person being remembered. For many families, the cross is the most accurate way to represent a person who faced their own passing holding the same hope they carried throughout their years.
These designs are available in aluminum, offered in a range of painted colors or a hand-applied enamel finish with hand-detailed silver bands. For those who prefer wood, our Signature line is made in the USA from walnut or alder with the artwork engraved directly into the surface. We also offer the Prestige line in oak, which features a printed full-color design.
Whether you require a full-size urn, a keepsake, or a sharing urn to be used by several family members, there is a piece designed to fit your needs. For our aluminum and Signature wood selections, we offer two-tone engraving to cut a name and dates directly into the surface, making those details a permanent part of the piece.
At Monasterboice in County Louth, Ireland, on the grounds of a monastery founded in the sixth century, stand some of the finest high crosses ever carved. Muiredach's Cross is covered in scenes from the Old and New Testaments, with two cats at play carved at the base of its shaft. Its inscription asks for a prayer for Muiredach, the abbot of Monasterboice, who died in 924 AD. Beside it stands the Tall Cross, the tallest high cross in Ireland.
A cross carved more than a thousand years ago to ask for a prayer for one named person is the same act a family performs when a name is engraved beside the cross on an urn. In this simple gesture, you honor the unique legacy of the one you hold dear.
