Ode

As soon as I saw the wooden urns, I was sold. Such beautiful mini urns. Perfect for us. We ordered three urns which were delivered fast in beautiful boxes to our home. Time and care were also spent on the packaging. I filled the urns with my husband's ashes, helped by the funeral assistant. The mini urns are now in my house; one in our son's room and the other two downstairs, next to the photo and the mourning card. Now my children (12 and 10 years) and I have a lovely mini urn and some ashes left over, perhaps to have turned into a piece of jewellery at a later time, for example.

I always found the idea of urns so uncomfortable, a bit creepy and on display. That was the reason for me to never want one in the house. I am happy to have found this beautiful little wooden urn. I can hold it for a while, it looks beautiful and no one can tell immediately that it is an urn. This way I can always keep my dear aunt close by. Thank you, Harm, worth a lot to me.

When I saw the urns in a magazine, I loved them immediately. I'm mad about beautiful wood and I found other urns too cold; this was the one for my girls. The small version was too small but luckily, you have a larger version and that's what we ordered. We were sent a photo with 6 urns to choose from - really nice! We were quickly in agreement and the urn arrived the next day already. In a lovely box, with logo, a nice little pouch, an Allen key and the beautiful urn with a hand-written card. The urn was easy to open and we put the little pouches with the ashes into it but unfortunately they didn't fit through the opening so we had to empty the pouches a bit. My husband did that because I found it too difficult. We screwed it shut together and the urn is now standing on the table next to me. I pick it up regularly, it feels nice and warm and it makes me feel calm.
