Each Artemis urn is unique
All of our urns are handcrafted by local, passionate ceramicists. Each one is unique and handmade with love and patience.
Therefore, the urn you will receive may be different in shape, color & pattern from the images and information shown.
We consciously choose not to make uniform objects, but special, unique urns, in which we welcome variations in shape and glaze as happy coincidences. Organic, artisanal, by hand, to the rhythm of nature, captivating, sometimes surprising. A bit like life itself.
Determining the proper contents of your urn
Content is an important consideration when choosing an appropriate urn. The amount of ashes released after cremation of your deceased loved one can vary greatly. Especially in case you wish to keep the entire amount of ashes in one urn, it is important to inform yourself well.
In order to provide you with the best possible service, we have worked out an overview, which shows the minimum contents of the urn according to the body weight of your deceased loved one (before cremation). Click here to access the article and review.
Filling an urn
You can easily fill the urn yourself or have a family member fill it, although this requires a certain amount of dexterity & accuracy. Be sure to fill the urn on a large enough sheet of paper and a flat surface (using a funnel if necessary) so that the excess ashes can be easily swept together. For example, use a clean, flat paintbrush for this purpose.
If you are uncomfortable or not comfortable doing this, you can also leave it to the funeral director or crematorium. They usually charge a (small) fee for this.
Closing an urn
After filling the urn with your loved one's ashes, the idea is to seal the urn by gluing the lid. We recommend using a transparent contact adhesive for gluing, e.g. Bison Kit (or a similar product). Through our web shop you can - when purchasing an urn - also purchase a tube of Bison Kit transparent contact adhesive reorder.
When the urn is filled, carefully apply glue to the lid and around the edge of the urn opening. Place the lid nicely in the center of the urn.
Do not pry at the lid and press it very gently. Use as little force as possible to prevent the lid or urn from breaking, but make sure the lid completely seals the urn. Remove any excess glue with a cloth soaked in acetone.
