How to Make a DIY Cremation Urn
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- When a loved one dies and is cremated, it's a difficult decision to decide where you want their body to rest in the years to come. There are many different options for cremation urns available, but what better way to keep them than in an urn built with hands that loved them?
This simple DIY wooden cremation urn can be made with just three common tools and a standard 1x8 board available at Home Depot or your local lumber yard.
Green Meadow Memorials is providing the step by step tutorial here:

And they also make a personalized plate option if you want to add this to your finished urn. You can find that here:

Ther is just one word to say about this show and this girl OUTSTAND.
I appreciate that!
Thank you. This nice tutorial will help me make one for my dog.
Great video. Love the box. I have done quite a few cremation urns for people and pets. Since I also have a laser engraver I am able to engrave all the details and a picture of their loved one on the wood, on a custom plate, or on a granite tile called absolute black (sold at Lowes and Home Depot). The tiles are 12" x 12" so we need to cut them down. If we use a tile then it is added to the top or a side. In both cases they are inlayed. Not a favorite build but when its needed we make them.
Very well done video. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the helpful and clear tutorial… I’m making a box for my mum’s ashes this week…
good video - I loved your technique for assembling with the tape! I am also going to steal your technique for filling in the gaps on the miter cuts... genius! Thanks for sharing :)
Great work Shara!!!,...
Great job!
Thank you for the tutorial. Nice video!
Thank you!
Thank you.
I like your router upgrade! As always great work!
Brian Johnston thank you! I am in love with this router. The switch to a “two handled” 1/2” router from a 1/4” trim router made such a huge difference in how often I use it and how I feel about using it. I’m glad I made the switch
First time to the channel, and subscribed. I look forward to making some of these now!
I appreciate you following along!
This was a tough one to watch. My mom died on New Year's eve of 2020. She was 83. She wasn't cremated but my wife and I plan to be. Thank you for this thoughtful build.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that losing a parent must be one of the hardest losses. I know this was a rather sad one, but I do really hope this video was helpful.
Thanks alot
Thank you I’m fixing to need to build one for my friend RIP
I'm so sorry for your loss
Very nice.
Manav Varsakiya thank you!
just a tip. Sand and finish the interior sides of the box before glue up this also makes clean up easier
My only suggestion is to use the router (either plunge or table router) on the end grain FIRST. If the end grain tears out, taking a pass on the sides should (cross fingers) remove the damage.
Don't try to remove all the wood in one pass. Take 2 or 3, and increase the cut each time. Poplar is fairly forgiving; oak and figured maple less so.
Excellent job! I'll let you know how mine turns out.
Thank you!
Hi Shara, I know this is an older video but I look through your videos alot.( just love your videos ) so I got to wondering if that's you playing in the back ground? I figure everything you do is awesome. 🤩😇
I love this idea. What is the amount of ashes it will hold? Thanks
Looks nice, my only concern is that if the bottom is not absolutely perfect the ashes may leak out, since it is only screwed. I may design something similar but with a different joint in the bottom, or have the bottle glued and the removable top.
ashes come in a plastic bag, they shouldn't leak out
When nailing the engraved plate, use a nail set. You are less likely to mar the plate.
would a router table be better on the top?
William Howard if you have a router table, that would work as well. I just don’t have one so I was using what I had. 👍 but that would probably be easier
I'm about to retire my aging dual bevel DeWalt, how did the Rigid hold up?
It’s still going. I’ve had it for 6-7 (ish--I can’t remember what year I got it) years now. Still working fine
Calculating the size. How do you know if it is big enough?
It's explained here in more detail, but essentially "adult" urns are anything over ~180 cubic inches. These are quite a bit larger than that and so should fit any individual. It's important to consider that the remains that you are given are essentially bones and so the weight of your loved one when they were alive or healthy is less important than the Internet might lead you to believe. www.greenmeadowmemorials.com/selecting-the-right-size-urn
how wide is the board you are displaying
All the dimensions can be found here:

Did i miss something? How do you open it,to get the ash in?
take the screws out?
is the urn that you display was that for a pet or human
This video is for a human urn. I have a pet urn here:
www.woodshopdiaries.com/diy-pet-keepsake-box-or-pet-urn/
Is the size you made the standard size for the urns....I think they need to be a certain dimension...dont they
Yes they are the within the standard size range. (There’s no set standard, but there’s a range it’s supposed to be within and this fit within the range)
@@WoodshopDiaries there is usually 3-9 lbs of ashes depending on the size of the person.... Would this be big enough or should it be bigger....
This one is about 180 cu inches. My understanding is you’d need approx a cubic inch per pound the person weighed
Can you use pine
Yes
can you provide the length, width, and height
