Calvary Celtic Cross Cremation Urn – Yellow Gorse (FEMALE)



Design Influence

The Calvary Celtic Cross Cremation Urn piece is slightly smaller and generally used for women or when some ashes are being shared in Keepsakes.

If you are searching for an Urn that represents Ireland and being Irish, this collection of Irish handcrafted Urns will make you proud. This elegant Irish Urn for ashes is named after the Calvary shrine in Omeath, a place of pilgrimage along Carlingford lough in County Louth.

The Calvary Celtic Cross Cremation Urn is a piece of art in itself. It is a celebration of what it is to be Irish, proud, strong, elegant, and eternal. This design, created by one of our top artisans Ciarán, is an interpretation of a Celtic cross. It is interlaced with ancient knot-work with a Celtic sun ring behind it. The Calvary Celtic Cross Cremation Urn represents our Celtic and Christian identity which is so unique to our Irish heritage. The Celtic knot on the collar represents how we are all bound together for eternity.

This Urn has a beautiful feel and texture and you will clearly see the hand-thrown nature of the piece.

An optional extra with the Urn is a handmade Oak plinth - Created by an Irish National award-winning Wood turner. There is also an option to arrange an engraving on request. See sample image.

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.
