Weather Resistant Urns for Ashes: An Urn Specifically Made for Outdoors
Our outdoor urns, also known as garden urns, can be categorized into two types: urns that need to withstand weather conditions and urns that are meant to degrade over time. Read more on our inspiration page or in our blog about urns suitable for outdoor placement.
Weather-Resistant Outdoor Urns
Stainless steel is a high-quality, low-maintenance metal that withstands all weather conditions. The steel is resistant to weather and acids, and the urns are virtually maintenance-free. Almost all stainless steel urns are made from type 316, which is more resistant to corrosion than the standard type 304 urns.
In addition to stainless steel urns, nature stone urns are very suitable for outdoor use. Granite is also very durable and resistant to frost and UV radiation. Nature stone urns remain colorfast and are very easy to clean with a damp cloth. Each nature stone urn is unique.
Some artist-made ceramic urns are also suitable for outdoor use. These special ceramic urns are made in modern pottery workshops where craftsmanship and love for the work are central. Note: The product features indicate whether the urn is suitable for outdoor storage or not. Here you will find ceramic urns for ashes.
Finally, our bronze urns are extremely suitable for outdoor use. Bronze is very durable, corrosion-resistant, and a weather-resistant material. The bronze urns are provided with a patina, which is the colored oxide layer that forms on the bronze after the product is finished. This color is applied by hand and can have many variations. If bronze is not treated annually with a wax layer (beeswax), the color will change to green over the years.
Outdoor Urns to Be Absorbed into the Soil Over Time
If you prefer an environmentally friendly destination for the ashes, a bio or eco urn is very suitable. The biodegradable urn is an outdoor urn that degrades over time and is absorbed back into the earth or water. The eco-friendly urns are made from plant-based materials and are suitable for burying the ashes in the ground. Additionally, some of these urns can be placed in a columbarium or kept at home.
