Matt Black Alloy Urn
$260
A plain matte black urn in cast alloy. Hand-finished, so no two are quite identical.
- Threaded lid
- Velvet storage bag included
- Full adult capacity
A shelf at home. A pendant you wear. A handful returned to the beach they swam at. You can choose one, or all three.
After a cremation the ashes come back to you, and what happens next is entirely yours to decide. There's no deadline on it.
Ashes can also be divided — some at home, a little in a pendant for each of the children, the rest scattered somewhere that mattered. Most families don't realise that's allowed. It is.
Every vessel below is one we supply, with the price shown in full. If you'd like a closer look at any of them, ask us.
Made to be looked at. Solid brass and alloy, hand-finished, with lids that seal properly. Each holds a full adult set of ashes.

$260
A plain matte black urn in cast alloy. Hand-finished, so no two are quite identical.

$410
Solid brass with a brushed pewter finish and three etched black rings. Heavy, and needs no upkeep.

$770
Brass, with a Tree of Life engraved by hand around the body.

$770
Solid brass finished in traditional cloisonné — a deep blue ground with gold detail and three white birds in flight.
A selection, not the whole catalogue. If you have something particular in mind, ask — we can usually source it.
Keepsakes hold a small portion rather than the whole. That's what makes them work for a family — several people can each have one, and the rest still go wherever you've decided.

$276
A teal tealight holder, hand-engraved with silver birds ascending, holding a small portion of ashes in the base.

$366
A 3cm glass-front pendant on a 48cm steel chain, with interchangeable bronze and pewter Tree of Life inserts.

$958
A bird-shaped urn in polished silver. It reads as sculpture on a shelf rather than an urn, which is the point of it.

$551
A hand-thrown ceramic vase you can put flowers in, with the ashes sealed in a separate compartment beneath a walnut disk.
Scattering by hand is harder than people expect — the wind takes them. These have perforated openings or sliding panels, so the pouring stays controlled.

$135
A plain kraft paper tube that comes with water-based pens, so everyone can write or draw on it before the day.

$165
Printed with an ocean sunset, made from renewable materials and fully biodegradable. Doubles as a temporary urn beforehand.

$210
A timber-look urn with a winter landscape and a sliding panel rather than a lid. Quiet enough to sit at home until the day.

$628
Five small tubes in one box, so family can scatter separately — different places, or different days. The box keeps keepsakes afterwards.
Scattering on public land, at sea or in a park usually needs permission from whoever manages it. We'll find out and make the call.
These float for a minute or two — long enough for everyone to watch — then sink and break down completely. For a farewell on the water, or a quiet morning off a jetty.

$346
Clay with a matte finish and a bio-pigmented green band. Suits water or earth burial equally.

$350
Embossed paper with inlaid petals through the band, which can be engraved with a name or small motif for an extra cost.

$918
Moulded from recycled paper with non-toxic glues, loaded from underneath. It floats briefly, then goes down nose-first.

$1,010
Pressed from food-grade recycled paper in antique moulds and hand-painted. Large enough for two sets of ashes, so couples can go together.
If the farewell itself is happening on the water, our sea burial page covers the boat, the permits and the day.
For a family plot, a cemetery ashes garden, or your own garden. All hold their shape indefinitely on a shelf, and only begin breaking down once they're in soil.

$238
Plant-based biopolymer, engineered to fully biodegrade within seven to nine years once buried.

$529
Moulded from compostable plant starch. The sage green sits closer to a piece of pottery than anything funereal.

$550
Matte white with a floral decal, made from Arboform. Fine on a shelf out of direct light until you're ready to bury it.

$1,310
A handmade mosaic of offcut timber, finished in beeswax with no adhesives or coatings. Every one is different.
Roughly three litres for an adult. Anything marked full adult capacity will take it; keepsakes hold a spoonful or two.
Between family, between an urn and a scattering, or across several keepsakes. We do it by weight, and there's no charge for families we're looking after.
The vessel usually has to be scannable — paper, timber or plastic rather than solid metal or stone.
Ashes come back in a sealed container that's sound on its own. Plenty of families use a tin or jar they already own.
We'll hold the ashes here for up to twelve months at no cost, and you're welcome to collect them and decide later. Some families know straight away. Others take months to settle on it.
Talk it through with us
The scattering, water and earth vessels are made from paper, clay, plant starch and offcut timber, and leave nothing behind.
How we workYou don't have to choose one before the cremation at all. Ashes are returned in a sealed container that will sit safely on a shelf indefinitely, and we can hold them here for up to twelve months. Many families choose weeks or months later.
Yes. We divide them by weight, and there's no charge for families we're looking after. It's one of the most common things families ask for — a portion in an urn at home, a portion in a pendant each, the remainder scattered.
An adult set comes to roughly three litres, and full-size urns are built to that standard. Keepsakes and jewellery hold a spoonful or two, and are meant to sit alongside a main vessel rather than replace it.
Yes, and plenty of families do — a biscuit tin, a favourite jar, a piece of their own pottery. Send us a photo and we'll tell you whether it will hold the volume and seal properly. If it won't, we'll say so.
Some can. The Journey Earthurn band takes engraving, and several of the metal urns take a name and dates for an additional cost. Ask about the specific piece and we'll confirm the cost.
On private land, only the owner's permission. On beaches, in parks, on waterways or in a cemetery it depends on who manages the site — some need written approval, some charge a small fee. Tell us where you have in mind and we'll arrange it.
Usually yes, though the destination country sets the rules and some ask for a cremation certificate and a customs declaration. Airlines want a vessel that can be scanned, which rules out solid metal and stone. Tell us the destination and we'll prepare the paperwork.
Every element of a farewell is arranged the same way — we show you what's possible and take care of the rest.

Every choice you can make, in one place — the service, the venue, the coffin, the flowers, the music and the gathering.
Back to designing the farewell

Music, photographs and streaming on the day — and the booklets and books you keep.
