Mid-Century Modern Urns:
There are many wooden urns available both online and in funeral homes. While there are many styles, most all of them look very similar. It is rare to see a cremation urn that is truly stylish. Most cremation urns are made to be non-assuming, and fit well in any home. If we are going to display an urn, why not make it a well designed mid century modern urn? Why not make it a beautiful piece of furniture that you will be proud to display?
This is PNCC’s first modern urn. It is maple and walnut (both FSC certified). The front is a faux drawer. The remains load from the rear. The urn holds over 200 cubic inches. The finish is an earth friendly linseed oil/bee’s wax combination.
Earth friendly, and Modern!

Portland Natural Caskets was mentioned in the Oregonian newspaper. The story can be found here.
Sadly, I am misquoted in the article, but it is great to see green burial in the news!!

I had my business cards printed at Pinball Publishing. They are a great printer in Portland that offers good eco-friendly options. They were super friendly, and easy to work with. I just noticed that they have a blog post about PNCC, and the cards.

30 cubic inch keepsake urns
For those who plan on scattering their loved ones ashes but would like to keep a small amount, we are now ofering keepsake urns. These are really pretty urns that hold a small amount of cremated remains (about 30 cubic inches). Because they are made using woods of contrasting colors, the wood grain is very pronounced and the overall look is very elegant. We will soon be offering this same style in a full size urn of 200 cubic inches. Please call for pricing.

I just finished this urn.
I am really happy with the way that it turned out. I made it with Walnut and Curly Maple.
It will hold quite a bit. It is 342 cubic inches on the inside, so it can hold cremation urns with plenty of room to spare.
There is more information on the urn page of this blog.

I just meet with Elizabeth Fournier of Cornerstone Funeral Services & Cremation. Elizabeth is the owner and funeral director at this funeral home located in the town of Boring, just off of the Clackamas river and highway 224. Elizabeth has been working in the funeral industry since 1990, and is a very knowledgeable and helpful person.
Cornerstone is a small funeral home that offers green burial to Boring and the surrounding areas. They seam very community based (they have even had weddings there). They can offer assistance with home burials, which is a really fantastic option for families seeking a natural burial. Cornerstone offers a price saving green burial service package that covers most expenses other than burial containers, cemetery fees, and any necessary clothing. In general, I was impressed with their very reasonable pricing.
Cornerstone would be an excellent choice for local families that are looking for a natural burial in a local cemetery, or even on there own private property.
