Ash Jar by Paul Reeves
Ash (Fraxinus excelsior)
This small (1.6 litre) figured Ash cremation jar is beautifully turned in a modern, simple form with threaded lid, by master-craftsman Paul Reeves. The jar makes a beautiful memorial urn to be kept at home but being crafted entirely from wood, it is also suitable for interment in a natural burial ground, where it will gently biodegrade in the ground.
This piece is from a large wind blown ash tree, which fell around 2010. The ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior), is a fitting choice for a cremation urn; its strength, durability, and fine grain patterns, ash wood provides a dignified vessel for holding the remains of a loved one. Symbolically, ash wood represents resilience and endurance, reflecting the journey of life and the transformative power of death. As the urn is turned and shaped, it mirrors the shaping of our own lives, reminding us of the impermanence of existence. The ash wood jar becomes a symbolic representation of both the earthly vessel and the eternal spirit, honouring the memory of the departed.
