The Sterling cremation urn is crafted from solid red oak wood. The lid, base, and body of this urn are rounded to give a contemporary appearance which contrasts nicely with the use of traditional red oak wood. Great care has been taken during construction to make certain that the ends of this cremation urn are a smooth and continuous arc.
The base of this cremation urn includes cork pads to protect any surface should you choose to display the urn. The base is securely attached to the body of the urn with six brass screws for easy cremains placement.
After construction, this cremation urn is meticulously hand sanded to prepare the urn to accept a lasting satin lacquer finish that is both smooth to the touch and complements the underlying beauty of the wood.
What inspired the Sterling cremation urn?
In 1903, a village was established at the northwest base of Mount Sterling to house a labor force needed to log the Big Creek Valley valley and operate a timber mill. With it's rounded shape and log-like appearance, we felt that naming this cremation urn the Sterling would be a fitting tribute to the mountain that housed one of the original timber mills.
The Sterling hardwood urn is also available in the following wood species:

- What size urn do I need?
- The general rule for cremation urn capacity is that for every pound a person weighed, you will need one cubic inch of volume. For example, a person who weighed 180 pounds would need a cremation urn with a capacity of at least 180 cubic inches.
