Don Anderson’s Artisan Urns include Nature Urns, Japanese Kanji Urns and Pet Urns and Keepsakes. They are Handcrafted original Cremation Urns – works of art employing stylized Images inspired by Nature, and Japanese Characters (Kanji) redrawn by the artist for sculptural impact – to impart a quality of artistry and respect, in honoring a loved one after a loss. The Nature & Kanji Urns & Keepsakes will preserve the ashes of your loved one in a permanent and unique way, with a choice of several heartfelt messages, with additional space allowed for engraving of a personal message if desired.
The Urns measure 9″x8″x6″, to fit into a standard Funerary niche. Or they can be placed outside permanently, on a column or stone in a Garden or Memorial setting, or placed in the home, near loved ones as an enduring reminder, and Artistic element. The Urns are large enough to hold the ashes of a large adult, or even two average-sized adults, if desired.
The Keepsakes measure 3″ x 3″ x 3″, replicate the larger Urns, and are designed to be gifted to family, friends, or loved ones, or as PET Urns with small portions of loved-ones’ ashes contained within.
