United States — Urns & cremation memorials

Cremation memorials,
with somewhere for the urn.

Granite urns, benches, pedestals, boulders and markers for cremation gardens — every one cut with the chamber, the seal and the lettering worked out before production, not after the family has chosen it.

Urn, bench, pedestal, boulder Sealed chambers Etched portraits Matched vase sets Dealer and cemetery supply

Twelve memorials,
one order sheet.

Tell us the capacity, where it stands and whether the cremains go inside it. Everything else on the quotation follows from those three answers.

Where the
cremains actually sit.

This is the question families ask and the one enquiries usually leave out. Four answers, and each one changes how the piece is cut.

In the urn itself Holds1 urn SettingDisplayed or interred The urn is the memorial. Sealed base plate, and it can still be buried or placed in a niche later.
Sealed in the base Holds1–4 urns SettingUpright memorial A chamber cut into the base, closed with a sealed plate. Nothing on the face says it is there.
Under the bench Holds2–4 urns SettingSeating Chambers in the legs or the plinth. The family gets somewhere to sit, not just something to look at.
In a boulder cavity Holds1–2 urns SettingNatural setting Cored from behind or below, polished face carries the lettering.

The US standard adult urn runs about 200 cubic inches and a companion about 400. Send the urn or insert you supply and the chamber is cut around it, with the seal plate and fixings supplied to match.

Cut, sealed
and tested before it ships.

A chamber that does not close properly is the one failure a family notices. Every seal is fitted and checked at the works, and the fixings travel in the same box.

Small pieces,
seen close up.

Unlike a wall of niches, these are held and touched. Polish quality and edge work carry the piece, so they are finished to a tighter standard than site stone.
