Irish Blessing Urns
This collection is for the person who said the blessing at every leaving, the one whose words lived on tea towels or cards on the fridge. Our Irish blessing cremation urns feature the traditional words of the road, wind, and rain engraved across the face. Available in painted finishes or hand-applied enamel with silver bands, these aluminum pieces come in full-size and sharing sizes.
We can engrave a name and dates directly onto the surface as a two-tone option. The blessing was their way of saying goodbye, and now the family is the one saying it.
The blessing has a way of turning up in the quiet corners of a home, appearing on a tea towel or a card that stayed on the fridge for twenty years. It might even be found in a grandmother's handwriting on the flyleaf of a favorite book. The blessing is a wish, not a guarantee. It asks for the road to rise, the wind to help, and the rain to fall where it is needed. It is a practical kind of hope, much like the person who lived by it.
Because it is a blessing for leaving, it was often the last thing said at the door or before a long journey. The words were a way of sending others off, and perhaps now, the family finds themselves finishing the sentiment for one another. The final line remains a wish to be held safe until everyone is together again, a quiet hope that stays with those who were left behind.
The traditional Irish blessing of the road, the sun, and the rain runs across the face of each aluminum urn. These pieces are available in a range of painted colors or in a hand-applied enamel finish accented with hand-detailed silver bands. For those who wish to make the piece more personal, we offer two-tone engraving of the name and dates, cut directly into the surface.
To accommodate the way a family chooses to remember, the collection includes a full-size urn for the entire remains of an adult, as well as a sharing urn for those who wish to keep a portion of the remains with them. Each piece is finished with a threaded screw-top lid and a felt base.
If they were a person who lived with a practical kind of hope or relied on these words to see others off, then this design will read as theirs. Anyone who was ever sent off with it will recognize the words. The family chooses this pattern because these words were their way of parting, and now it falls to the family to offer them. They may find themselves picturing the person at the door, wishing everyone a safe journey.
