About us
We're a small team — and we take our time with every urn.
urne.store isn't a funeral home and isn't a factory. We come from 3D printing, and we felt an urn deserved more than being picked from a catalogue under pressure. Here we explain how we work — and why.
01 — Why we're here.
Why we're here.
Most urns look interchangeable: standard shape, standard colour, often picked in a hurry. With 3D printing we can do this differently — each urn is made one at a time, only after the order comes in. One urn takes us about 24 hours to print. That feels more right to us than a stack on a shelf.
02 — How the printing actually works.
How the printing actually works.
When you upload a photo, software reads it as a height map — information about what's in front and what's behind. That becomes a 3D shape. The printer then builds it up, layer by layer, in real material. What you get isn't a printed picture — it's a tactile structure you can run your finger across.
03 — What we print with.
What we print with.
We work with three materials, depending on where the urn will live or be laid to rest. All three are made in Europe.
Biopolymer
Plant-derived, durable. Our default — good for keeping at home.
Stone compound
With mineral content. Heavier in the hand and with a real stone grain. Feels closest to a traditional urn.
Plant fibre
For burials in nature. Returns to soil over time.
