A Life’s Work, Honoring Lives

Hi I'm Vern. After 30 + years in woodworking, 20 of those years building fine custom furniture, I chose to focus my work on memorial pieces. Creating urns allows me to slow down, work with intention, and use my God given woodworking skills to build something that honors a life deeply loved.

“It’s truly an honor to help you create a meaningful tribute for someone who meant so much to you.”

When you order, it’s not going to a factory — it comes directly to me.

✅️ I Ordered this urn in black walnut for my father's ashes. We added some custom engraving. Vern was very kind and sent a proof before final engraving. The urn is absolutely stunning and the craftsmanship incredible with the utmost attention to detail. Absolutely beautiful tribute to my dad.

✅️ Incredibly impressed with how beautiful this custom urn is. Chose black walnut and it is very clear that a lot of care went into making it. I appreciate that Vern sent a proof of the design before engraving it and kept me updated with when to expect to receive it.

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.
