Home is where their love never leaves
We believe remembrance feels like an embrace: soothing, warm, and full of quiet joy. Grief is never the same for everyone, and neither is the way we choose to remember. Some find comfort in keeping close. Others, in letting go.
But love is never truly gone: it stays, in the spaces we live in, in the stories we tell, in the quiet moments that bring a smile. We are here to honor that presence, by helping you find your way to hold onto it with ease and grace.
We create experiences that make grief softer, more mindful, and free. And we create urns that belong to nature as much as they belong to you: handcrafted from sustainably sourced wood, shaped with care, and designed to be held. Thoughtfully simple, beautifully tactile, and made to be part of life, not separate from it.
Let memory rest gently, like love always does. Crafted Urns, home is where their love never leaves.
At the heart of what we do
The story behind our craft
We are a family of architects and carpenters committed to creating more ethical and empathic urns for the memory of other families’ loved ones. Our journey began in a backyard workshop and evolved into a business with global reach.
We've lived through transitions - geographical, emotional, and professional - that taught us to adapt, listen, and create with intention. Every piece we craft carries a story: ours, and now yours.
Our purpose is renewed daily by our community, by the memory of those we’ve loved and lost, and by the presence of new life, reminding us to stay grounded in what matters most.

We source only legal, sustainably harvested wood from responsibly managed forests across Central and South America.

Dark Mahogany
Our wood treatments
Swietenia macrophylla KingOur oxide finish is a natural process applied by hand, using a vinegar-based solution that gently darkens the wood into a deep, smoky tone. This patina preserves the beauty of the grain, which still shimmers through under the light.
Local craft, global heart
Matthias, the founder of Natururnen Manufaktur, first came to us as a client. Experiencing our work firsthand sparked a conversation that grew naturally, guided by shared values and mutual respect. Today, we craft each urn in our workshop in Nicaragua, while Natururnen helps bring them closer to families in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
Through this collaboration, our European clients benefit from local delivery without customs delays, certified urns for forest burials, in-person samples in Munich, guidance tailored to local funeral regulations, and support that speaks their language, both culturally and emotionally.
Where care takes root
As part of our commitment to sustainability and meaningful craftsmanship, we are proud members of The Generation Forest, a cooperative that restores degraded land in Panama by planting permanent, biodiverse forests. Their work captures carbon, supports local communities, and protects future generations, values that resonate deeply with the purpose behind our handcrafted urns.
