Design Influence

If you are searching for an urn that represents Ireland and being Irish, this Dolmen Urn is a representation of Ireland's oldest megalithic tombs, Poulnabrone. Poulnabrone is one of Ireland’s most iconic archaeological monuments and the original resting place for Ancient Irish people's cremated remains about 6,000 years ago. A fitting tribute to a proudly Irish person. This urn is unique and no others exist on the planet, a truly special urn for the special person you have lost. This urn has a beautiful feel and texture and you will clearly see the hand-thrown nature of the piece.  

Urn Colour

The colours of the Dolmen Irish Urn are earthy to represent the timeless beauty found in the landscape of Ireland. The glaze is a mix of greens and purples to represent the landscape of the Burren in County Clare and home to the Poulnabrone Dolmen. Situated on the high Burren limestone plateau, Poulnabrone Dolmen is one of Ireland’s most iconic archaeological monuments and is the second-most visited location in the Burren, after the Cliffs of Moher. It is the oldest dated megalithic monument in Ireland. 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. The Urn is large enough to take the cremated remains of a large adult male or female.  

Dimensions

 

• Height about 12 inches.
• Width at widest point 8 inches.
• The capacity of this Urn is 196 cubic inches. While funeral directors use a rule of thumb of 1 cubic inch per pound of body weight in reality the urn size is more about height. This is because due to the cremation process no soft tissue remains, just bone, this Urn has been used for adult males of 6'4'
