Thoughtful Memories, Your Way
The Obsidian Crest Memorial Urn is designed for full-capacity storage of ashes (adult size), and permanent memorial placement. It can be displayed at home, for a burial, or for columbarium use. If you require a smaller symbolic piece, our keepsake urns or memorial jewellery are more appropriate.
Two things set the Obsidian Crest apart. The first is the finish: a deep charcoal black worked with a fine, speckled texture rather than a flat gloss, so the surface carries subtle depth and variation while staying understated. It's the most discreet piece in the range, a cremation urn designed to sit quietly in a room rather than draw the eye, which suits families who want something dignified without any sense of display.
The second is capacity. At 330 cubic inches, this is the largest adult urn we carry, suitable for individuals up to approximately 150 kg (330 lb), where most standard urns cap out around 200 to 220. For families who've checked the sizing and found a standard adult urn cutting it close, this is the piece that gives genuine peace of mind on fit. As a general guide, you need roughly one cubic inch of capacity per pound of body weight, and this urn allows a comfortable margin above the usual range.
The detailing keeps to the same restrained language as the finish. Engraved silver-tone bands encircle the body, each carrying a fine leaf motif that adds craftsmanship and a point of contrast against the dark body without overwhelming it. The proportions are clean and structured, so every element reads as considered rather than decorative for its own sake.
Built from precision-machined aluminium alloy, it resists fading and stays easier to handle than heavier brass at this size, with a fitted, secure lid. Standing 25cm tall and 16cm wide, it suits home display, a columbarium niche, or a burial vault. It's part of our range of adult cremation urns, at the discreet, contemporary end of the collection, and the largest-capacity option within it.
For anyone comparing a cremation urn NZ wide who needs more capacity than a standard adult size or simply prefers a darker, understated finish, the Obsidian Crest answers both. It's a charcoal-black urn for ashes NZ families can keep at home or place in a formal setting, built to hold its finish for years.
