Handmade motorcycle gas tank urn for ashes 'flame'

For someone whose motorcycle was part of who they were

For many riders, a motorcycle is not simply a machine. It is a way of being in the world: the freedom of an open road, the satisfaction of knowing every bolt and bearing, the unspoken understanding between people who ride. If you are looking for a cremation urn that reflects that life honestly, this handmade gas tank urn 'Flame' was made for exactly that person.

Handmade by professional artists

Every urn is made and finished individually by professional artists working with a combination of plastic and glassfibre. That material pairing allows for a level of detail that cast or moulded products simply cannot achieve. The shape follows a real petrol tank, and the flame motif that gives this urn its name is applied with the same care as the form itself. Small variations in colour or surface texture are not flaws. They are the natural result of handwork, and they confirm that no two urns are identical.

A memorial that reflects what mattered to him

The flames on this urn are not decoration for its own sake. For a rider, they stand for something specific: the drive, the speed, the feeling of being fully alive that came with every journey. Choosing this urn for ashes means choosing an object that carries that shared knowledge, of who he was and what brought him joy.

What this urn is

This is a handmade funeral urn shaped as a petrol tank with a flame motif, finished in black with detailed paintwork throughout. It is suitable for use with or without an ash bag, and is designed for indoor display.

Practical care for a lasting piece

Glassfibre is considerably more resilient than ceramic or glass, and the urn will handle everyday handling well. That said, the outer lacquer layer benefits from a little care. Avoid sliding the urn across hard surfaces, which can cause fine scratching, and clean it only with a dry or lightly dampened cloth. Keep it indoors and away from direct sunlight to protect the black finish from fading over time.

Finding the right place for it at home

This urn suits a settled spot in a living room, study or hobby space, ideally on a stable surface at around eye level where it can be seen properly. It is the kind of object that holds a presence in a room. Placing a photograph, a small personal item from his riding life, or a name plate nearby can make the space feel more complete. If you would like to personalise the urn further, we are happy to talk through what is available and help you find the right approach at your own pace.
