About Me

I make hand crafted cremation urns using traditional metalsmithing techniques. My urns are made from copper, brass and silver and are hand riveted and soldered. All of these urns are original designs and are made from scratch. No pre made parts or hardware is used. Names and information can be etched into any urn and custom work is always welcome. Most of these urns are available in larger sizes. Please visit copperurns.com for more information.
