A Life’s Work, Honoring Lives

Hi, I’m Vernon. For 30+ years I’ve crafted solid hardwood pieces built to last (mainly in solid wood custom furniture). Each urn is made by hand, one at a time, with care, respect, and attention to every detail.
This isn’t just a container — it’s where a life rests. A husband. A mother. A father. A partner. Someone who deserves something real, not mass-produced.

✔️ Handcrafted in Canada 🍁

✔️ 30 day satisfaction guarantee

✔️ Built one at a time in my Canadian Workshop using solid hardwoods.

✔️ Never mass produced - unlike imports.

✔️ Custom engraving included

Choosing Ahead Is a Gift to Your Family

Some families choose to plan ahead — removing uncertainty and easing the burden for those they love.
When you choose your urn in advance, you’re making a thoughtful decision on your own terms. You can take your time, choose the wood that feels right, and know it will be carefully crafted and ready when needed.
If you have questions about sizing, engraving, or options, I’m here to help guide you through it.

Memory Boxes & Urns For Pets

  • Find Keepsake & Memory Boxes

    A life is more than ashes. Some families choose to hold letters, photographs, or other small mementos alongside a loved one’s remains.
    Each memory box is handcrafted with the same care, attention, and solid hardwood you’ve come to expect from my urns — built slowly, intentionally, and to be treasured for generations.

Trusted by Families During Life's Hardest Moments

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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheryl - Winnipeg, MB.
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.
