Sasquatch Urns

For those who lived for the quiet of the mountains and the scent of pine, this collection speaks their language. You might remember the "Hide and Seek Champion" decal on their vehicle or the way they always seemed to be planning the next trip into the woods. They were a person who found comfort in the wild and brought that sense of adventure back home with them.

Bigfoot has become the unofficial mascot for those who wander the wilderness. The iconic, slouching silhouette represents an affinity for old growth forests and the mysteries held within them, but it also carries a lighthearted spirit. These figures are rarely placed as evidence of a sighting, but rather as a way to bring a quiet smile to those passing by.

Choosing this design is a way to honor both their specific sense of humor and the landscapes they inhabited. It reflects the grin they wore during a campfire story or the mock-serious "I believe" shared between friends. It is a way to keep the spirit of those shared adventures close.

Each piece is crafted from cast aluminum, with the artwork engraved directly into the surface. The finishes range from solid colors to hand-applied enamel accented with silver bands. To ensure stability, every urn features a felt base and a threaded screw-top lid.

Because every family has different ways of remembering, the collection offers various sizes. You may choose a full-size urn, a sharing urn, or several keepsake pieces so that every family member can hold a part of that shared history.

For a more personal touch, we can provide a two-tone engraving of a name and dates. The engraving is cut directly into the metal, making the identity of your loved one a permanent part of the design.

The silhouette everyone recognizes comes from one minute of film. On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin shot 59.5 seconds along a tributary of the Klamath River in Del Norte County, California, on a hand-held Cine-Kodak camera. The footage runs 954 frames, and the mid-stride figure glancing back over its shoulder became the shape on a million stickers, yard cutouts, and trail signs. Whatever anyone makes of the film, the outline it gave us is the most recognizable in the American woods.

This design is the shape your loved one put on everything they loved, and the woods they kept going back to.

If the person you remember was the one who kept a silhouette by the driveway and shared a laugh during a campfire tale, this design will speak of them. It serves as their grin and the wildness they loved at once. To a grandchild or a friend, the shape will be a recognizable sign of the person who found joy in the mystery of the trees.

The decision of how to honor them rests with you and your own memories. It is a tribute to the quiet peace of a mountain trail under the autumn sun.
