Motorcycle Urns

A motorcycle is not merely a mode of transport. People do not ride four hundred miles in one day just to arrive at a destination, they ride to have ridden. When the road, the weather, and the machine are all present, the journey becomes the entire purpose.

This collection is for the rider who understood that purpose. It is for the one who checked the weather the night before, who kept the chain clean and the tank full, and who came back from a long Sunday loop feeling quieter and easier to be around than when they left.

The life of a rider is often marked by distinct sounds and sights. There is the unmistakable sound of an engine coming up the street and the particular quiet that settles when someone has just come home from a good ride.

You may still find yourself looking for the boots by the door or the helmet resting on the kitchen counter. Families often choose these designs because riding was the part of the week that belonged entirely to their loved one, and because the sound of a bike still seems to turn every head in the house.

Our collection features seven designs: Motorcycle, Motorcycle II, Classic Motorcycle, 3 Wheel Motorcycle, Motorcycle Gears, Winged Wheel, and Riding with Angels. The metal urns are cast aluminum, available in a range of colors with a painted finish or a hand-applied enamel finish with hand-detailed silver bands. The wood urns are handcrafted in the USA and are bottom-loading. The Signature line is engraved into solid alder or walnut, while the Prestige line carries a printed artwork panel on walnut.

Whether you require a full-size, sharing, or keepsake urn, there are ways to ensure the piece reflects their specific journey. The aluminum and Signature wood urns can be engraved directly by us with a name and dates, making those details a permanent part of the piece. On the aluminum pieces, this engraving is rendered in two-tone.

Harley-Davidson was founded in Milwaukee in 1903 by William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson, later joined by Arthur's brothers Walter and William A. Davidson. As one of only two major American motorcycle manufacturers to survive the Great Depression, they have been building motorcycles in Milwaukee for more than a century.

For your family, the design on the urn is the machine they kept clean, and the road they took to get quiet.

If they were someone who found their center through the rhythm of the road and the care of their machine, then this design will recall that steady devotion. To a sibling or a friend, the artwork serves as a recognition of the miles that belonged solely to them.

There was always the sound of a bike coming up the street before anyone reached the window.
