Handmade Rosewood Urn for Human Ashes - Adult Tree of Life Wooden Urns

Every Tree of Life urn is made by hand in our workshop in India, with the tree cut into all four sides, so it can sit in a room rather than be put away. This one is carved from solid sheesham, also called Indian rosewood, and hand rubbed so the golden brown grain and its darker streaks show through the finish. This size: the Large holds 180 cu in, for an adult up to about 180 lb, and stands 9.5 in tall on a 5.5 x 5.5 in base.

How it opens: take out the small screw in the base, slide the bottom panel out, pour in the ashes or set them inside in a sealed bag, then slide the panel back and refit the screw. A funeral home can transfer the ashes for you. Care: dust with a soft dry cloth and keep the urn away from standing water and direct heat.
