Why are butterfly images so often present at death and burial? In many cultures, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation and the beginning of a new life. This is why butterfly urn is so common. We want to believe that, like a butterfly, a person transitions into a completely different state and starts a new and better life.
Beyond the symbolism, people simply love butterflies for their beauty and delicacy. It is a wonderful motif to decorate a cremation urn to honour the memory of a deceased loved one.
What does a butterfly urn look like?
Our butterfly urn is made of stainless steel. The perfect square shape of the urn perfectly contrasts with the delicacy and finesse with which we associate butterflies. The entire urn is stainless steel, including the decorative butterfly on the lid. The lid is made of natural wood.
Due to its construction, the urn is not suitable for outdoor storage. We can only keep it in a weatherproof place. So it can be in a columbarium or at home. View in shop >>
There is a soft material inside the urn, so it is advisable to place the ashes in a plastic bag. This treatment allows the urn to be changed in the future, for example, and further protects the ashes inside the urn. The lid of the urn can additionally be sealed with silicone or a good quality adhesive.

Each urn can be enclosed with a memorial plaque with any text of your choice. Most commonly we engrave personal details, dates of birth and death and a few words relating to the deceased. Memorial plaques are a great way to ensure that future generations will have no doubt as to whose remains are inside the urn.
