Honor Your Loved Ones with a Personalized Wooden Urn
Families have commissioned Steve to make one-of-a-kind urns they design that are inspired by a unique passion of their loved one. In some cases, we use one of our current designs and change the wood type or add extra detail.
You can request a portrait, a landscape, or a religious figure to be painted onto the urn of your choice by Chris Cismesia, a classically trained fine artist and long-time friend of Steve Shannon.
Designed To Honor A Life: Custom Made Urns And Wooden Cremation Urns
A life deserves a memorial filled with meaning, care, and warmth. A handcrafted wooden urn can offer a lasting place for cremated remains while reflecting the person who has passed.
Custom Crafted Wood, Inc. creates custom-made urns from wood, with careful attention to shape, finish, size, and design. Each piece is made to give families a personal way to honor a loved one and keep treasured memories close. ...
Wooden Urns Made With Care
Wood brings a warm and natural look to a memorial. Each type of wood has its own grain, tone, and pattern. These details give every urn a distinct appearance. Our custom wood urns are made with care and attention to detail. The natural beauty of wood works well with both simple and artistic designs. Families can choose a style based on personal taste, the personality of a loved one, or the place where the urn will remain.
A wooden urn can also become part of a home memorial. It can be placed near photographs, flowers, letters, or other items connected to special memories.
Designs With Personal Meaning
A memorial should reflect a life, not look like a plain container. Our unique cremation urns offer a range of styles for people with different tastes and interests.
The collection includes natural wood designs, artistic forms, religious themes, Irish-inspired styles, and pet memorials. Some designs use one type of wood, while others bring different woods together for a rich look. Shape also adds character. A smooth, rounded form can create a simple appearance, while a more detailed design may better match someone with a strong love for art or craft.
Choosing The Right Size
Size is an important part of choosing an urn. The right choice depends on the amount of cremated remains and how the family plans to use the memorial. Our custom urns for ashes include full-size and smaller options. Full-size urns can serve as a final memorial for an adult. Keepsake sizes can hold a smaller amount of remains, which can work well for families who wish to share remains among relatives.
Before making a choice, consider the urn’s capacity, intended location, and overall design. Checking these details early can make the selection process easier.
A Warm Choice For Home Memorials
A wooden urn can blend naturally into a home. Its grain and finish can work well with furniture, shelves, cabinets, and other personal items. Our custom wooden urns are created with both beauty and purpose in mind. Natural wood gives each piece a warm look, while careful finishing helps protect the surface and preserve its appearance.
Families may choose a memorial display in a quiet room, near family photographs, or in another meaningful part of the home. The right location can create a peaceful place for reflection and remembrance.
Personal Designs For Special Lives
Every person has a story. Their hobbies, interests, beliefs, and family traditions can help guide the choice of a memorial. Our custom urns for cremation provide options for families seeking something more personal than a basic urn. Different shapes, woods, colors, and themes allow families to choose a design suited to the individual being remembered.
A person who loved nature may connect with a natural wood design. Someone with a strong artistic side may suit a more detailed style. Religious or cultural themes may also help families choose a meaningful memorial.
Fine Wood And Careful Craftsmanship
A quality wooden urn begins with good materials and careful workmanship. Selected designs use fine wood pieces joined together to create a strong and attractive form. Our custom-designed urns can feature woods such as Black Walnut, Oak, Zebrawood, and Padauk, depending on the design. Natural differences in wood grain give each finished piece its own look.

Keepsake Urns For Shared Memories
Some families want one full-size urn. Others may prefer several smaller memorial pieces. Keepsake urns offer a way to preserve a portion of cremated remains in separate locations. Our custom-made urns include options suitable for different memorial needs. A keepsake may remain with a family member, while a larger urn can remain in another meaningful location.
This choice can be helpful for families living in different homes or places. Each person can have a personal memorial while still sharing the same connection to a loved one.
Memorials For Beloved Pets
Pets become part of family life. Their loss can leave a space in the home and in daily routines. A special memorial can provide a lasting way to remember their companionship.
Our custom urns for ashes include pet options in smaller sizes and designs. Families can select a wooden memorial based on their pet’s personality, size, or the style they prefer. A pet urn can be displayed near a favorite photo, collar, toy, or other keepsake. Such a space can preserve memories of the years shared.
A Meaningful Alternative To Standard Designs
A standard urn may meet a basic need, but a handcrafted memorial can carry more personal meaning. Wood gives families a natural material with warmth, texture, and lasting appeal. With custom wooden urns, families can look beyond plain designs and choose a piece suited to the person being remembered. The choice can be simple and understated or artistic and distinctive.
The most important part is finding a memorial that feels right for the family. Size, wood type, shape, color, theme, and intended display area can all guide the decision.
Finding A Memorial Worth Remembering
Choosing an urn is a personal decision. Take time to think about the life being honored and the type of memorial that best reflects it. A well-made wooden urn can become a lasting part of a family’s remembrance.
We create custom-made urns with natural wood, careful craftsmanship, and thoughtful designs. Each piece offers families a way to honor a loved one through a memorial made with care.
