Thoughtful Memories, Your Way
The Wooden Praying Angel 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 Praying Angel 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.
For families where faith matters, the motif on a cremation urn can carry as much weight as the material it's made from. The Praying Angel is chosen with that in mind: a figure carved in quiet prayer, hands folded and head gently bowed, set into solid rosewood. It reads as peace, guidance, and reflection, and for many families it's the detail that makes this the right piece over a plainer design.
The angel is carved directly into the wood rather than applied on top, framed by floral vine accents that follow the grain. Because rosewood is a natural material, the grain and tone shift from one urn to the next, so no two are identical. The finish is a smooth, hand-polished satin that lets the warmth of the wood come through, giving the piece a calm, unforced presence.
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 already chosen for its meaning, that's a fitting 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 discreet sliding base panel secured with a screw. It suits home display, a burial vault, or a columbarium niche. It sits within our range of adult cremation urns, at the devotional, faith-led end of the collection.
For anyone comparing wooden urns for ashes NZ wide and wanting a piece that reflects faith or quiet reflection, the Praying Angel is one of the more meaningful 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.
