About Us

All of our urns are hand made in the Flathead Valley of Kalispell Montana.  We are a small family run operation.  We began making urns when we realized that many funeral products come directly from China.  We saw the need for a more high quality urn that had a personalized touch.  All of the materials that go into the creation of one of our urns are 100% made in the United States.  Each hand made urn is one of a kind and the quality far surpasses anything that is preassembled in a factory outside of the United States.  We take great care and have pride in what we do.  We have a staff of very skilled artists that specialize in wood working.  Meet our artists, who are ready to create a lasting memorial urn for your loved one.
