Lacrosse Urns

This collection of lacrosse memorial urns is for the player, the coach who builds a program, and the parent who is always at the field. It honors those who understand the game as both a running and stick game and who respect its deep history. These cast aluminum urns feature engraved lacrosse artwork and are available in painted finishes or hand-applied enamel with silver bands.

We can also engrave a name and dates in a two-tone style as an option. These pieces provide a way to honor a life defined by the game.

Lacrosse requires two distinct disciplines at once. It is both a running game and a stick game, requiring a player to maintain control of the ball within a net on a pole while under constant pressure from others. While the movement may look effortless to those watching, mastering that balance takes years of dedicated practice.

This collection is for the person whose life was shaped by that focus. It is for the athlete who played from youth through college, the coach who built a program out of almost nothing to ensure a team would exist for decades, and the parent who was there for every game, season after season.

The world of lacrosse is a small one, where players from different states often find common ground within minutes of meeting. It is a community built on shared experiences and the quiet work of those who make sure the sport survives, such as the person who finds the funds for jerseys or the one who tapes the sticks before a match.

They likely knew that sense of connection, finding their people on the field and within the stands. They may have been among those who held a deep respect for where the game began, understanding that the sport's history reaches back much further than the modern rules, and they carried that understanding into how they lived.

The lacrosse artwork is engraved directly into the cast aluminum, which serves as the foundation for the piece. Each urn is finished with care, available in a range of painted colors or in a hand-applied enamel that features hand-detailed silver bands. All pieces include a threaded screw-top lid and a felt base.

Families can choose the size that best fits their needs, as the collection includes full-size, sharing, and keepsake urns. We also offer the option to have a name and dates engraved into the surface in a two-tone style.

The game belongs to Native nations and is far older than the sport played now. Communities were playing it by about 1100, and among the Haudenosaunee, it is the Creator's Game, played in thanks and for healing as much as for winning. Traditional games were nothing like a modern match, sides ran from a hundred to a thousand men on fields miles long, and play went from sunup to sundown for two or three days. A French missionary, Jean de Brebeuf, wrote it down among the Huron in 1637 and called the stick la crosse, and William George Beers cut it to twelve a side and a fixed length in 1860.

For a family, the design on the urn is the game the person gave their years to, and everybody they played it with.

If they were someone who spent decades building a local program or a parent who was present for every season, then this design will reflect those qualities. A teammate or a child will recognize the spirit of the connection they shared.

The design is chosen because the field was where they belonged, and because the people they played with are the ones who fill the room. A family will picture them on the grass of the field, perhaps running a play or watching a game from the sidelines.
