Urns & Keepsakes Catalog
We made our first urn using sustainable woods completely by hand, and we still do everything entirely by hand in that same tradition today. We have grown to include workshops in Italy and the U.S. Our team brings decades of expertise to their crafts to ensure your families receive a work of art that we’re proud to stand behind.
At Samuel Mitchell, we are driven to create memorials that are of exemplary quality and innovative design, while remaining environmentally-conscious with the materials we select.
We put our heart into every piece of work that comes out of our workshops, because we know you and your families would expect nothing less, and we are honored to help them remember their loved ones.
It is our mission to create urns that truly honor the life of your family’s loved ones. After all, interesting lives deserve interesting urns.
With gratitude,
CO-FOUNDERS

our MISSION
Our co-founders sought to create memorials that fit modern tastes using the highest quality of materials and handmade in a way that is environmentally responsible, all while honoring the life of your loved one.
EXEMPLARY QUALITY
First and foremost, we focus on quality to always ensure you and your family are receiving the highest standard of work imaginable. Our team spends a great deal of time searching for the best quality of raw materials. Our master craftsmen are experts in their fields and strive to create memorials that are works of art. A great deal of care, precision, and thought goes into each of our urns, from concept to construction.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN
We have a keen eye for style and design, and our urns are designed to fit seamlessly within modern homes and interiors. Our urns are available in various colors and styles to match your personal aesthetic and function as a piece of decor, as well as to honor the personality and life of the loved one they are memorializing.
ENVIRONMENTALLYCONSCIOUS
We seek out renewable materials and conserve and reuse materials whenever possible. Most of our work is FSC-certified and we’re continuing to add new certifications regularly. While we know this may not be a deciding factor, we hope you’ll be pleased knowing your urn has not damaged the environment.

WHY CHOOSE a KEEPSAKE URN?
Keepsake urns hold a smaller amount of ashes than our full-sized urns, which is a convenient option if you will be splitting ashes between multiple households or family members. If you are planning to scatter your loved one’s ashes, a keepsake urn allows you to still keep a small amount of ashes.
