A Life’s Work, Honoring Lives

Hi, I’m Vernon. After more than 30 years in woodworking, I chose to focus my craft on memorial pieces.

Creating urns allows me to slow down, work with intention, and use the God-given skills I’ve been blessed with to create something that truly blesses you, and honors a deeply loved life.

I build each piece myself, one at a time — and I will personally walk with you to ensure you feel completely confident in your choice.

After searching for the perfect Urn for my son, I found Vernon on facebook marketplace. What he made was exactly what I needed to honor him. He also made one for my daughter as we are sharing my sons ashes.

My moms cat passed away and was looking for an Urn for her when I found Verns. Vern was so easy to deal with it made us comfortable in going ahead with one of his Urns. It was so beautiful. When my cat passed a couple months later it was an easy decision to go back to him for another Urn. We are so greatful.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Melinda - Winnipeg, MB.
We had Vern make an Urn for our Angel. It was absolutely beautiful. Even engraved a picture of her on the top. If your looking for a quality Urn, Vern's the guy.
