Mini urn 'Tree of life' with candle holder

A tree that stands long after the words are gone

The tree of life is one of the oldest symbols we know: roots that hold, branches that reach, life continuing beyond loss. In this keepsake urn, that symbol carries genuine weight. You are not simply choosing somewhere to keep a portion of ashes. You are choosing a memorial that says something words often cannot.

Hand-cast bronze, made by a Dutch artist

This mini urn for ashes belongs to the bronze tree of life series, a collection of urns that are individually hand-modelled and cast in bronze by a Dutch artist. Bronze is not stamped or pressed from a production line. It is melted, poured into a mould, and finished by skilled hands. Every piece is unique, carrying slight differences from the one before it, and that is exactly where the value lies. The material itself is costly, and the labour-intensive process means each urn is a separate, considered work. You see that in the surface, the weight, and the detail of the casting.

The candle holder: a quiet moment of remembrance

A candle is included with this urn. It is not decoration for its own sake. It is an invitation to pause. A small flame beside the tree of life has a particular quality to it: the tree stands still, the light moves, and the bond you shared feels present and real in that moment.

Built to last, indoors and outside

Bronze is one of the most durable materials used in memorial objects. It oxidises slowly and gracefully, holding its character over many years whether placed indoors or outside in the garden.

Sealing after filling

Once the urn is filled, the base cap should be sealed with a waterproof, metal-grade adhesive. This is especially important for outdoor placement, where rain and temperature changes could otherwise allow moisture to reach the ashes. It is a straightforward step, but one worth doing carefully and with intention.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

This urn for ashes can be placed inside or outside: on a windowsill, in a garden, or in a quiet corner of a room. The bronze sits comfortably in both settings, and its appearance holds up in all of them.
