The Personal Alternative to a Traditional Urn – A Unique Tribute to Life
We believe people deserve a more beautiful and personal choice than a standard urn. With us, you can decide exactly how the memorial piece should look. We create tangible memories that are as unique and special as your loved one.
When we started in 2007, we looked at the urns offered through funeral homes and online. We immediately saw a need for something more beautiful and personal. We wanted to provide a way to truly celebrate the life and passions of a loved one. Our goal is to give families the option to choose a custom urn that fully aligns with their values and wishes.
Our custom urns not only capture the memory of a loved one but also reflect their character, passions, and unique personality.
Why Choose a Custom Urn?
Each person is unique, with their own story, passions, and character. A custom urn allows families to honor these personal elements in a truly special way. Here are a few reasons why people choose a custom-made urn:
- Unique & Personal – Every design is tailored to reflect the style and life philosophy of your loved one. Symbols, engravings, or specific shapes can be incorporated to mirror their personality.
- Durability – Our urns are crafted from high-quality materials such as bronze and ceramics, ensuring a timeless and elegant result.
- Comfort & Connection – The personal design process helps families through the grieving process, offering a tangible and lasting memory.
The Art of Designing a Custom Urn
Creating a custom urn is a careful and collaborative process between the family and our team. At legendURN, we work closely with families to design a custom urn that perfectly meets their wishes and serves as a worthy tribute to the life of their loved one. The process typically follows these steps:
1. Expressing Your Wishes
The process usually begins with a conversation where we discuss the family's preferences. This includes shape, material, finish, and personal symbols or engravings. We also present examples for inspiration.
2. First Stage: Design and Estimated Price
Based on the consultation, our designers create an initial concept, which may be a hand-drawn sketch or a digital rendering. This helps families visualize the final result and get an idea of the estimated price.
3. Second Stage: Design, Production Time, and Final Price
Once the design is approved, the urn is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional craftsmanship or modern techniques.
The final step involves refining the urn to perfection, which may include firing, painting, polishing, engraving, or even decorating with gemstones.
4. The Final Result
After a thorough quality check, the custom urn is delivered or shipped to the family. It is not just a memorial piece, but a unique work of art that honors a cherished life.

Who is a Custom Urn suitable for?
A custom urn offers a unique way to honor a loved one with a memorial that perfectly reflects them. But who is a custom urn suitable for?
1. Those Seeking a Unique and Personal Tribute
Every person is unique, and a standard urn may not always suit the individual you wish to remember. A custom urn allows for:
- Personal elements such as symbols, engravings, or specific shapes that reflect the personality of the deceased.
- Special materials like gold, silver, bronze, ceramic, glass, or natural stone to add a significant touch.
- An exclusive design that aligns with the style and character of the person being honored.
A custom urn is perfect for families who want something that truly does justice to the life and memory of their loved one.
2. Families Seeking Comfort in a Tangible Memory
Grief is personal. Some find solace in having a physical remembrance. A custom urn can bring comfort by:
- Providing a loving tribute that offers a daily connection to the departed.
- Aiding in the healing process, as designing the urn can help with mourning.
- Representing togetherness, whether through a home urn or memorial jewelry to keep a loved one close.
Many families find that a specially made urn provides a sense of peace and connection after loss.
3. Lovers of Art and Handcrafted Masterpieces
For some, an urn is not just a memorial but a piece of art that tells a story. A custom urn is ideal for:
- Those who value aesthetics and design, wanting an urn that aligns with their personal taste.
- Those who appreciate craftsmanship and seek a unique, handmade piece with exquisite details.
- Families looking for an artistic urn as special as the person they are honoring.
A custom urn is not only a memorial but also an expression of artistry and emotion.
4. Those Who Cherish Symbolism and Spirituality
For many, an urn holds a spiritual significance beyond being a resting place. A custom urn can incorporate:
- Symbols and engravings reflecting faith, spirituality, or a personal philosophy.
- Specific shapes or colors that evoke emotions or memories.
- A harmonious design, such as a lotus flower, butterfly, or another meaningful symbol.
For those seeking an urn that carries deeper meaning, custom design offers the perfect opportunity.
5. Those Looking for a Lasting and Timeless Memorial
Some families seek an urn that not only serves as a tribute today but remains a timeless symbol for generations. A custom urn is perfect for those who:
- Want a lasting memory that withstands the test of time.
- Value high-quality materials and craftsmanship to ensure a dignified tribute.
- Wish to create an heirloom piece that can be passed down through generations.
