Deer Urns
This collection of deer urns is for the hunter who walked into the woods before first light and the watcher who kept trail cameras on the same doe family for years. These cast aluminum urns, available in painted finishes or hand-applied enamel with silver bands, come in full-size, sharing, and keepsake sizes. Each piece can be engraved by us with a two-tone name and date. The woods were where they were happiest, and this collection lets a family keep that piece of autumn close.
The deer is an animal defined by its presence at the threshold of the meadow and the woodlot. Graceful and ever alert, it moves through the landscape during the soft light of dawn and dusk. To those who lived by the rhythms of the seasons, the deer is a constant, a quiet inhabitant of the forest edge.
This collection honors the person whose heart was tied to the October woods. Whether they were waiting in a stand during the stillness of daybreak or observing the movement of a doe family through a lens, they understood the profound quiet of the trees. They held a deep respect for the landscape and the patience required to truly witness its beauty.
The designs in this series are captured through engraving on cast aluminum. Each piece features one of four distinct images: a set of antlers, a deer in profile, a deer hunter, or a deer bust. The metal is finished in various colors or through hand-applied enamel that includes detailed silver bands, all completed with a threaded screw-top lid and a soft felt base.
This artistry serves as a permanent tribute to a life spent in pursuit of those quiet moments. The lines of the antlers or the profile of the deer reflect a devotion to the outdoor life. Every detail, from the silver bands to the smooth finish, is meant to stand as a steady reminder of the seasons they held most dear.
Families can select from several sizes to suit their needs, including full-size, sharing, and keepsake options. To make the piece truly personal, we offer the option to have a name and dates engraved directly into the surface in a two-tone style.
Choosing a specific size or a particular engraved image allows a family to keep a part of that outdoor legacy close. Whether it is a single keepsake or a larger piece for the whole family to hold, the metal carries the weight of those many seasons spent under the open sky.
On September 2, 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Pittman-Robertson Act, which places an 11 percent tax on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment to fund wildlife restoration. More than two billion dollars has flowed to state wildlife programs since that time, restoring deer herds that had nearly vanished from much of the country a century ago.
The design on this piece reflects the forest paths you traveled every autumn, and the animal you went to find.

If the person you remember was the one who sat out the cold hour before sunrise for the chance of seeing nothing at all, these designs will speak for them. To a sibling or a friend, the engraved imagery will be a recognizable symbol of their time spent under the canopy. It serves as a quiet reminder of a life lived in harmony with the woods.
The decision of how to honor their memory is yours alone. What it recalls is the soft light of an October dawn.
