Handmade motorcycle gas tank urn for ashes 'Horse'

For the rider who lived life on his own terms

A standard urn never felt right, and you already knew that. Because he wasn't a standard person. The motorcycle wasn't a pastime; it was how he moved through the world. The freedom of an open road, the particular pride in a machine he knew inside out. This handmade cremation urn, shaped as a motorcycle gas tank, was made for exactly that kind of life.

Handmade by professional artists

Every urn is individually made and finished by professional artists. The material, glassfibre-reinforced plastic, allows for a level of strength and surface detail that cast or turned products simply cannot achieve. The gas tank form is precise and immediately recognisable. The deep, consistent black finish holds its character across the whole piece. The small variations you see from one urn to the next are not imperfections. They are the evidence of hands at work, of someone taking time over it. That is what makes each piece its own.

The gas tank as a lasting symbol

The tank is the heart of any motorcycle. No fuel, no movement, no road. Choosing this urn for ashes is choosing an object that points directly to what drove him, in every sense of that word. Not as decoration, but as recognition. Anyone who walks into the room and sees it will know immediately who is remembered here, and what kind of person he was.

The meaning behind the name

The 'Horse' stands for strength, independence and character. Those are probably qualities you recognise clearly in the bond you shared. If you would like to personalise the urn, engraving is available: a name, a date or a short phrase can be added on request. Ask about the options when ordering, so the urn becomes fully and unmistakably his.

Practical information: material and placement

Glassfibre-reinforced plastic is a robust material that handles everyday indoor conditions well. It is not suited to outdoor use, prolonged exposure to moisture, or direct sunlight over time. Keep the urn in a stable, dry spot, away from direct light, and the finish will remain intact for as long as you need it to. The urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag, and is designed for indoor placement.
