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 last gift a family gives. That matters.

Every urn is carefully built in my shop, one at a time. No shortcuts. No mass production. Just solid hardwood, careful hands, and respect for the life it will hold.

That’s my promise.

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.
