Fiberglass urn 'Cybele' red

A colour that says something true

Red is not a quiet colour. It carries force, love and a full appetite for life. If the person you are remembering was someone who made their presence felt, the Cybele in red reflects that honestly.

How a glassfibre urn is made

The production of a glassfibre cremation urn like the Cybele is a layered process that demands patience and precision at every stage. It begins with a cast structure formed from glassfibre, resin and plaster. Two or three thick coats of lacquer mixed with plaster are then applied, and the urn is rinsed with water between each coat. The pigment is laid in next, sealed beneath a first coat of varnish, then a second. Finally, the surface is levelled and polished by hand. That polishing stage is not a finishing touch: it is what gives the colour its depth and the surface its evenness. You see the care taken in the result.

Light to handle, substantial in presence

Glassfibre produces urns that are notably light for their size without any sacrifice in durability. The Cybele sits well in a room, present and considered, without feeling heavy or imposing. As a cremation urn for everyday living with, that balance matters.

Suitable for indoor use, with or without an ash bag

The Cybele is designed for indoor placement and is compatible with both direct ash placement and use with an ash bag. Its light weight makes it straightforward to position or move whenever you need to.

What red holds about the bond you shared

Symbolism earns its place when it fits the person. Red belongs to those who were vivid: people who were fully present, who brought energy into a room, who lived without reservation. If that rings true, this urn for ashes says something that is genuinely difficult to put into words. The colour keeps that alive, each day, wherever you choose to place it.

Adding a personal inscription

If you would like to personalise the Cybele, an engraving plate can be added. It can carry a name, a date or a short phrase that captures something of who they were. That small addition makes the urn unmistakably theirs, and yours.

Durability and care

Glassfibre is a robust material that does not crack or chip under normal indoor conditions. The lacquered, polished outer surface is protective and simple to maintain: wipe it down with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths or cleaning products, which can dull the surface and affect the colour layer over time.
