Crafted With Purpose, To Honor Your Loved One
Whenever You’re Ready
If you are here because someone’s ashes have been in the container from the crematory for months, or for years, or because you made a quick decision to purchase an urn you don’t love when you were in the throws of grief, I want to tell you three true things:
First: it’s ok. Cremated remains are stable. They do not degrade, expire, or require any special conditions. Whatever container they’re in right now will keep them safe indefinitely. There is no clock running.
Second: this is common. I hear from families who waited six months, and families who waited eleven years. The pattern is nearly universal. In the weeks after a death there are a hundred decisions, and choosing a permanent vessel is the one decision that can wait, so it does. Waiting isn’t neglect. It’s triage, and it was a good decision. In fact, we did the same when my own dad died.
Third: you can make a decision to honor the ashes (and the person they were) when you’re ready. And if you’re on this page, that’s a sign you might be.
How it works
-
Click on the relevant button below (human urns, pet urns or sets of urns) to learn more and/or start the commission process.
-
Once you start the process, you'll receive an intake form covering form, colors, size, and where the piece will live. There's a space to tell me about them. Take your time with that part, because it's the part that shapes the piece.
-
Some people want a conversation before I begin. Some would rather not, and that's fine too. If a call would help, we'll find a time.
You can schedule a call HERE.
-
Hand-thrown or hand-built, glazed, and fired in my San Francisco studio. Building, drying, glazing and two firings each take the time they take, and every piece is made only once. For your specific person (or pet).
It generally takes 6-8 weeks from the time you begin your commission to receive your finished piece.
-
Your vessel arrives packed and insured, ready to honor your loved one.
