Classic Raku Keepsake Urn

This keepsake urn holds approximately 5 cubic inches of ashes, making it suitable for a small, symbolic portion rather than the full amount from an adult cremation. Families often use keepsake urns when sharing remains among loved ones or pairing them with scattering or memorial ceremonies. Though compact, it offers a meaningful way to keep a personal remembrance close.

The urn is crafted using the traditional Raku pottery technique, known for its rich glaze variations and unique crackle patterns. Each piece undergoes a special firing and cooling process that results in one-of-a-kind surface characteristics. No two urns are ever identical, giving every keepsake its own artistic and personal expression.

Yes, this keepsake urn can be personalized with pewter-color engraving, which provides a clear and dignified contrast against the Raku finish. While Raku glazes can sometimes vary in texture, the engraving method used for this model is designed to work effectively with its surface.

We recommend reviewing all spelling and dates carefully before finalizing your order, as personalized items become final once engraving begins.

Yes, you may include a small keepsake alongside the ashes as long as it fits comfortably within the urn. Common additions include dried flowers, a handwritten note, or a symbolic memento. Adding a keepsake allows for an even more personal and heartfelt tribute.

The urn opens with a threaded lid that provides secure access to the interior compartment. You can gently place a small portion of ashes or a keepsake inside and tighten the lid to keep everything protected. This closure design ensures the contents remain safely contained.

This keepsake urn is best suited for indoor display to preserve its handcrafted Raku finish. Pottery surfaces can be sensitive to moisture, temperature changes, and direct sunlight. Keeping it indoors will help maintain its beauty and structural integrity over time.

We process and ship orders within one business day for non-personalized urns. If you add optional accessories or nameplates, please allow 1-2 business days for handling before shipment. Standard shipping is generally 3-7 business days depending on your location and chosen shipping method.

If the item is unused and unfilled, we offer returns or exchanges within a specified timeframe (often 30–60 days). Once the memorial piece has been filled with ashes or has been personalized through engraving, it becomes a customized item and cannot be returned. Please verify all size, finish, and personalization selections before placing your order.

For best care, gently dust the urn with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid moisture, abrasive materials, or harsh cleaning products, as these can damage the glaze. Displaying it in a stable indoor environment will help preserve its finish for many years.

The Raku finish is often associated with individuality, transformation, and the beauty found in natural variation. Its crackled textures and shifting colors reflect the uniqueness of every life and the journey it represents. Many families find comfort in its depth, symbolism, and artistic character.
