Handcrafted Custom

Crematory Urns

Crafting Cremation Urns

Steel and Fir provides a final resting place defined by structural integrity and timeless design. Our cremation urns are engineered to be future heirlooms, celebrating the essential through the strength of metal and the malleability of wood.

Every vessel is built with a commitment to structural honesty. We specialize in custom wood and epoxy designs, and we collaborate with local artisans to provide specialty pieces in ceramic and glass. Because we focus on the integrity of the build rather than a standard catalog, we can create these memorials in any shape imaginable.

These are not merely containers; they are durable tributes crafted for real life and lasting memory.

Design Consultation

A custom commission is a collaborative process that ensures the final piece aligns with the intended space and its future legacy. We offer one-on-one consultations to discuss the structural requirements, material selection, and specific dimensions of your project.

Whether you are looking to anchor a room with a custom table or require precise architectural steelwork, we provide the technical expertise to bring the concept to reality.

Schedule a session to define the scope of your project and establish the standard for your space.

The Lathe:

Engineering the Eternal

At Steel and Fir, our primary approach to memorials is through the precision of the lathe. The process begins with a single, substantial block of timber or a custom-poured epoxy casting. As the material rotates at high speed, we use hand-held gouges and chisels to reveal the vessel within.

This is a subtractive art form that demands absolute structural honesty. By turning the urn on a lathe, we ensure a seamless, symmetrical form that highlights the natural grain of the wood and the deep, translucent layers of the epoxy. The result is a piece with the wall thickness and weight of a true heirloom—a vessel designed not just to hold, but to endure.

A memorial vessel is a permanent legacy, and our responsibility to that legacy extends until it is safely in your hands. We treat the shipping process with the same structural focus as the build itself.

Every urn is secured in custom-engineered, reinforced packaging designed to neutralize the rigors of transit. We provide tracked, insured shipping across the country, ensuring that whether your piece is wood, epoxy, or a delicate artisan glass, it arrives with its structural integrity fully intact.
