Brass funeral urn 'Mother of pearl'

An urn that reflects the beauty of a life

You are looking for something that does more than hold ashes. Something that honours the person you have lost, not just once, but every day. This handmade brass cremation urn with a mother of pearl finish is precisely that: an object of quiet beauty that gives memory a place you can return to.

Handcrafted in brass with a mother of pearl finish

Local craftspeople make this urn by hand, working in brass with real care and precision. Brass does not rust, which makes it one of the most reliable materials for long-term indoor use. The mother of pearl finish gives the surface a soft, shifting luminescence that changes with the light, so each piece looks slightly different depending on where it sits and how the light falls across it. Production uses no harmful substances, with consideration for both the people who make it and the wider environment.

Why mother of pearl holds meaning here

Mother of pearl has been valued across cultures for centuries, not for brightness alone but for what it suggests: protection, preservation, things kept safe against time. Its layered, shifting colour is a quiet reminder that a life cannot be captured in a single note. If you are choosing this urn for ashes, you are choosing something that holds that complexity with grace.

Suitable for the full volume of ashes

This funeral urn holds the complete volume of ashes and can be used with or without an ash bag. The lid is threaded and closes securely. If you wish to seal it permanently, two-part adhesive can be applied to close it for good, giving you lasting reassurance that the contents are safe.

Practical considerations for brass urns

Brass is robust and long-lasting, but the mother of pearl coating on this urn does need thoughtful placement. It is designed for indoor use only. Humidity, fluctuating temperatures and direct sunlight can affect the coating over time, so keeping it indoors on a stable, chosen surface will preserve both the finish and the integrity of the piece for as long as you need it to.

Making it personal

The bond you shared was particular to the two of you, and the space you create around this urn can reflect that. A photograph, a small object that held meaning, a single stem: these details make a place that belongs to your relationship. If you would like to personalise the urn further, engraving options may be available. Do get in touch to ask what is possible.
