Star of David Cremation Urn - Regal Purple

The Star of David memorial urn is for the Jewish person being remembered, in whichever way they held it - the one who kept Shabbat and was at synagogue every week, the one for whom being Jewish was heritage and identity more than observance, the one who hosted the holidays so the grandchildren would know the words, and the family that came over from the old country and kept it going. It is one of the few symbols that belongs equally to the devout and to the entirely secular, and so much of it is kept in a house as much as a building: the holiday table, the recipes nobody wrote down, the way a family does a thing because that is how it was done before them. Its Hebrew name is Magen David, the Shield of David. This Jewish memorial urn is a tribute to the person who kept it going, and to the family who will carry it on.

The hand-applied enamel finish carries the Regal Purple color, giving the vessel the feel of a significant, sacred object. Just as a mezuzah by the door marks a home as a place of tradition and faith, the Star of David on this urn serves as a quiet, dignified symbol of a person's enduring identity.
