This urn is available with a custom engraving of a name or date. To request an engraving, please place your order as normal, then please contact us at support@purememorials.com with your order number and personalised request and we will add it to your order. Engraving is completed within our standard 1-3 business day handling window at no extra cost. Once engraved, personalised items cannot be returned unless they arrive damaged or defective.
The Wooden Horse 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.
Some urns are chosen for their finish. This one is usually chosen for what the horse means. Carved into solid rosewood, the rearing horse motif tends to be picked by families remembering a rider, someone who worked with horses, or a person whose spirit the animal captures: strength, freedom, and movement. If that connection is there, this cremation urn says something a plain design can't.
The horse is carved directly into the wood rather than applied on top, framed by leaf-border detailing that follows the grain. Because rosewood is a natural material, the grain and its dark-and-light tones run differently through every piece, so no two urns are the same. The finish is a smooth natural wax polish that brings out the depth of the wood without hiding it.
Free engraving is available on this urn, a name, a date, or both, added within the standard 1 to 3-day handling window at no extra cost. For a piece already chosen for its personal meaning, that's a natural way to make it specific to the person. 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. It suits home display, a burial vault, or a columbarium niche, and its size and detailing also make it fitting as a memorial for a beloved horse. It sits within our range of adult cremation urns, at the natural, character-led end of the collection.
For anyone comparing wooden urns for ashes NZ wide and wanting a piece with real personal symbolism, the Wooden Horse is one of the more meaningful options. It's a solid rosewood urn for ashes NZ families can keep at home or place in a formal setting, made to last and able to carry an engraving.
