Hand painted soccer ashes urn

For someone whose love of football ran deep

Football wasn't just a pastime. It was the Saturday routine, the club that ran through generations of the family, the match on in the background. If you are looking for a cremation urn that reflects a life genuinely lived around the game, this hand-painted football urn was made with exactly that in mind.

Ceramic with a gloss glaze finish

The urn is hand-formed in a specialist pottery studio where craftsmanship and careful attention to the work are central to how things are made. Once shaped, the ceramic is finished with a gloss glaze that gives the piece a refined, considered quality. The result is a funeral urn that reads as a decorative object rather than a container, something that belongs in the home.

Hand-painted to your own brief

Every detail of the decoration is applied by hand by a single artist. You decide what goes on it. That might mean a name and dates, or it might mean the badge of the club that mattered most. The club, the crest, the colours of the shirt: these are not small details. They represent the shared moments you had together, on the terraces, watching from the sofa, or standing at the side of a pitch on a cold Saturday morning. Once you place your order, the artist will contact you personally to discuss your wishes before any painting begins.

Practical reassurance

When you are making a choice like this, it helps to know the practical side clearly. Here is what you need to know about this urn for ashes.

Indoor use and care

This urn is intended for indoor placement only. Glazed ceramic is sensitive to sustained exposure to frost and outdoor moisture, which can cause surface damage over time. Keep the urn on a dry, stable surface indoors. It is suitable for use with or without an ash bag.

Requesting your personalised design

The personalisation process is handled directly between you and the artist. Once you have placed your order, you complete a short contact form with your wishes for the painting. The artist then contacts you personally to talk through the design, whether that is a name, dates, a club badge, shirt colours, or a combination of all of these. You make the decisions, and the artist works to your brief. Nothing is painted until you are happy with the plan.

• Decoration applied entirely by hand by a single specialist artist
• Gloss glaze fired onto the ceramic surface for a lasting, refined finish
• Design brief agreed personally with the artist before work begins
• Name, dates and club badge can all be incorporated into the design
