Hot Air Balloon Cremation Urn - Shamrock Green

The hot air balloon memorial urn honors the people who stopped everything for a balloon - the pilots and crews who were out on a field before dawn most weekends of the season, the ones who finally took the ride for a big birthday after talking about it for years, the festival-goers who stood in the cold every year to watch the mass ascension, and the ones who pulled the car over and called everybody outside whenever a balloon drifted over the house. Ballooning happens in the still air just after sunrise, and it takes a whole crew to give one basket a quiet hour. The first passengers, in 1783, were a sheep, a duck and a rooster, sent up by the Montgolfier brothers to see if anything could survive the trip. This hot air balloon cremation urn is a tribute to early mornings, good company, and a sky worth stopping for.

This Individual urn is cast aluminum in Shamrock Green paint, like the grass crews spread envelopes across. The hot air balloon on this urn catches the moment the burner roars and the field goes quiet.
