Boann Cremation Urn

Inspired by Boann, the revered Celtic goddess of the River Boyne, this handcrafted Irish cremation urn is a tribute to life's eternal flow, remembrance, and renewal.

The urn's flowing glazes of soft sage green, river blue and silvery earth evoke the colours of Ireland's ancient riverbanks, where water, stone and woodland have shaped the landscape for thousands of years. Its graceful, rounded form represents wholeness, peace and the enduring cycle of nature. The subtle movement within the glaze mirrors the gentle currents of the Boyne, while the natural tones reflect Ireland's timeless landscapes, offering a comforting connection to home and heritage.

The Boann Urn is a fitting memorial for someone who found peace in nature, cherished Ireland's rich history, or whose life flowed with quiet strength, kindness and generosity. It serves not only as a beautiful resting place but as a lasting symbol that love, like the waters of the Boyne, never truly ceases—it simply continues its journey.

Ciarán- Artist, Ceramicist, designer

Ciarán, an Irish language speaker has a love of Irish history and design. He ties his Irish heritage creations with his own glazes for his Celtic Cremation Urns. A range of locally inspired colors fired in his self-made kiln. Ciarán studied and lectured in Art and Design as well as being a highly regarded Ceramicist for the last 30 years. He lives with his family on the banks of the historical Carlingford Lough. Image below is some detailing on the Bean na heireann Irish Harp Urn
Carlingford, one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. The Cooley Mountains on one side and ’ the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea’ on the other. Each of his Celtic Cremation Urns represents our history, our people and the colors found on land and sea. As Ciarán says, “they are each an expression of Ireland”. Ciarán walked the coast, fields, and mountains looking for the colors he wanted to inspire his glazes. He then went about mixing and testing the glazes to match his imagination. According to Ciarán you need to be as much a Chemist as a Ceramicist to get it just right. He spent months and months perfecting the colors that don’t truly show themselves until after firing. The combination of form, design, and the glaze has made his unique pieces much sought after. His work has been commissioned and presented to many dignitaries including An Taoiseach -Our Leader -The Irish Prime Minister and also the President of Ireland.
