A Life’s Work, Honoring Lives

Hi, I’m Vernon.

I’ve spent over 30 years working with hardwood — building pieces meant to last.

When I began crafting cremation urns, I knew this wasn’t just another project.

This is the final gift a family gives someone they love. That matters.

Every urn is carefully built in my shop, one at a time.

No shortcuts. No assembly lines. No mass production.

Just solid hardwood, experienced hands, and deep respect for the life it will hold.

That’s my promise to you.

Because each piece is handcrafted individually, I can only create a limited number each month — ensuring the care and attention every family deserves.

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.
