Skateboard Urns

A skateboard is a deeply personal object. Riders often customize their boards and carry them everywhere, wearing them in until the equipment reflects their unique style. This collection honors that individuality through cast aluminum urns engraved with skateboard artwork.

For the person whose life was defined by the board, these pieces serve as a memorial that carries exactly what they loved. The artwork is not just a decoration, but a recognition of the specific identity they held while riding.

The practice of skateboarding is one of balance and persistence. It involves falling, getting up, and attempting a line again and again until it is finally landed. This grit is captured in the enduring nature of cast aluminum.

You can honor a loved one who never stopped trying, even when things were difficult. Their resilience is mirrored in a material made to last, acknowledging the strength required to keep getting back up.

The finishes offer different textures and visual depths. Some pieces feature a painted finish in various colors, while the enamel line is finished by hand and accented with detailed silver bands of pierced metalwork.

These hand-applied details provide a sense of weight and intention, reflecting the care given to the equipment and the sessions they shared with others.

Skateboarding is rarely a solitary pursuit, it happens in company at skateparks and during sessions with friends. To reflect this, our collection includes full-size urns, keepsake urns, and sharing urns.

This variety allows your family to decide whether to keep a single piece or to distribute several among the people who rode alongside them.

To make the tribute complete, each urn is engraved directly by us. We use a two-tone engraving to set the name and dates into the metal surface.

This process ensures that their name and the years they lived are not just added on, but are cut into the piece itself, becoming a permanent part of the memorial.

Skateboarding began as sidewalk surfing. By August 1965, it had been banned in 20 American cities, yet the sport outlasted every ban. From the first X Games held in June 1995 to its debut as an Olympic sport in Tokyo, the movement has endured through the decades.

This history of persistence reflects a life lived with grit and determination. You can honor a person who faced every obstacle with that same unyielding spirit.

If the person you honor lived with the balance and persistence required to keep getting back up, a piece from this collection may hold a special meaning for you. Whether you select a single keepsake urn or several sharing pieces for the community of people who rode alongside them, each cast aluminum urn is made to last.

The choice of a painted finish or the hand-applied enamel with silver bands rests with your memory of their unique style. With a secure screw-top lid and a felt base, these urns are prepared to be kept with the same care a rider gives their own board.
