Ceramic Cremation Urns: The Time to Buy is Now

August 22, 2012 urngarden.com

The time to buy a ceramic cremation urn is when you see one that catches your eye. Each urn is a one of kind piece and often families that are shopping for an urn online, see a ceramic or pottery style cremation urn and bookmark it, only to come back at their time of need and the item has sold. We can always create an urn similar to the one they saw or a custom work of art, but the family needs to be prepared to wait two to four weeks.

This happened to a West Coast widow who wanted a Raku urn for her terminally ill husband. She saw the urn, liked it, but when she came back to buy a couple of weeks later, it was sold.

She ordered two gingko leaf urns for her husband who spent his final days in a room with a view of a gingko tree outside the window. The family held a memorial service at the golf course and filled one of the urns with his favorite cigars, golf balls and tees and other remembrances. The other urn was used to bury his ashes.

Forged from natural materials and fire, ceramic is a time-honored material that can be used to craft an array of fine art items. This includes ceramic cremation urns. If you are looking for a way to hold your loved one’s remains in a tasteful work of art, you may want to choose a ceramic cremation urn as your solution.

Ceramic Urn Found at Roman Cremation Burial Site

July 25, 2011 urngarden.com

Archeologists discovered a Roman cremation cemetery that contained a ceramic urn, pottery shards, and bronze artifacts at a construction site in the UK at Doncaster. Visitors will be able to tour the excavation site to see the artifacts and talk to archeologists.

Another Roman burial site was discovered in the UK at Wasson, site of new home construction. Perhaps a Roman warrior was buried there? In addition to the five cremations and ceramic urn discoveries included six bronze axes.

Cremation was widely practiced by the Romans, with the ashes being placed in ceramic urns and then buried in the ground or placed in underground ossuary or burial chamber.

Some of the most amazing works of art from the Roman period that remain are ceramic urns and funerary vessels.

See all the modern designs of ceramic and pottery urns at Urn Garden, many made by American artists to create a timeless memorial.

Who Loves Raku? I Do!

May 27, 2009 urngarden.com

 

We just picked up some new Raku pottery pieces that we’re slowly adding to the site.

Raku is a Japanese style and the name means “joy” and that’s exactly what you get when you take one look at these gorgeous vessels. One of the things that makes this style of pottery special, is that the firing process literally creates a trash to treasure effect.  It’s not uncommon for potters to remove the vessel from the kiln and then put it in a garbage can surrounded by bits of wire, wood, and other combustibles. After the flame is lit, that’s when the magic happens. The fire and smoke create the beauty.

Celtic urns are a popular choice for a memorial, and this one of a kind art piece uses copper glazes and features a hand-carved Celtic knot emblem on the urn.

The sad thing about these urns, is that the pictures don’t do them justice.  They are much more attractive than depicted here and if you see one you like, don’t hesitate, as several customers have called when they were ready to buy, only to discover that the urn had already sold. The good news is, we can make another one. Maybe not the exact urn you saw earlier, but close and maybe even better!
