FUNERIA is a unique international arts agency that has been leading the emerging genre for original, contemporary, thoughtfully conceived and superbly crafted funerary urns and vessels for people and our beloved animals since 2001.

Each original artist- and artisan-made personal memorial artwork we offer through retail and authorized reseller channels worldwide stands on its beauty alone and is as unique as the individual it will serve. Each embodies the creative spirit that produced it, and holds the promise of reminding us of a life we’ve loved. All are intended to contain the shell-like particles and dust of cremated individuals, at least for a time. Whether kept at home, buried, placed in a glass-fronted columbarium niche or private mausoleum, or used to scatter their contents in a place of special significance, FUNERIA® artist-made urns, vessels and personal memorial objects honor the life of their recipient and they honor the gifts of the artist.

Among the more than 50 unique designs by artists featured in the exclusive FUNERIA Portfolio™ are some that are available for delivery within days. Others may require from one to several weeks to produce. Please contact us if you have an immediate need or would like assistance with your selection process.

For those who prefer the simplicity of a natural earth or woodland burial, we offer unique opportunities to commission hand-formed, biodegradable vessels made from clay that may be specific to a geographic area of your choice. We also offer site-specific memorial installations in which to place biodegradable vessels, or other ephemeral, artist-designed means of scattering ashes so that they’ll co-mingle with the earth over time.

To see the most spectacular display of innovative funerary artworks being made by artists worldwide today, in a showcase that has redefined the style and purpose of contemporary cremation urns, plan to attend FUNERIA’s international Ashes to Art® exhibitions. All artworks shown in these much-anticipated events are selected on the strength of their unique beauty and originality by jurors who possess a deep body of knowledge and are skilled in discerning the genuine from artificial, and the ordinary from the sublime.
