Bone urn by Designschneider

The bones of deceased persons are revered in many religions. For example, in Spanish churches you often find the bones or bone fragments of saints. Such churches are often a destination for pilgrims, who derive strength and hope from being in the presence of the holy relics. Bone urns carry on this traditional idea. The urn is the china cast of a femoral head. The deceased person’s ashes are entered via an opening in the bone urn. This is subsequently closed with a small stopper and immersed in a sealing varnish. Before the varnish dries the deceased person’s name can be inscribed in it. A bone is a familiar symbol denoting the end of life. As such, the bone urn is a logical choice for storing ashes.
