The Wooden Cross 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.
The cross is the most direct expression of faith in the wooden range. Where the praying angel is gentle and contemplative, the Wooden Cross is bolder and more traditional, a high-relief cross set against a radiant sunburst, carved into solid rosewood as the clear focal point of the piece. For families for whom faith was central, it's often the design that feels right without needing to be explained.
The carving stands proud of the surface rather than sitting flush, which gives it real depth and presence, framed by hand-carved floral vine borders. Because rosewood is a natural material, the grain and its contrasting light-and-dark tones run differently through every piece, so no two urns are alike. The finish is a smooth, hand-polished natural grain that brings out the warmth and richness of the wood.
Free engraving is available, a name, a date, or both, added within the standard 1 to 3-day handling window at no extra cost. On a piece chosen for its meaning, it's a fitting way to make it personal to the individual. Just place your order and email us the details.
Standing 28 cm tall with a 250 cubic inch capacity, it holds full adult remains up to approximately 113 kg (250 lb), accessed through a secure sliding base panel with a screw closure. It suits home display, a burial vault, or a columbarium niche. It sits within our range of adult cremation urns, at the traditional, faith-led end of the collection.
For anyone comparing wooden urns for ashes NZ wide and wanting a clear, dignified expression of faith, the Wooden Cross is one of the most fitting choices. It's a solid rosewood urn for ashes NZ families can keep at home or place in a formal setting, built to last and able to carry an engraving.
