At Barley Wood, we understand the profound importance of finding a beautiful & fitting resting place for your loved one’s ashes. Our collection of urns offers a timeless & deeply personal way to honour their memory. We believe an urn should be more than a container; it should be a unique piece of art, a comforting presence, & a dignified final tribute.


Each of our handmade wooden urns is crafted with meticulous care and respect for the natural beauty and enduring spirit of wood. Based in the heart of East Sussex, our wood-turning specialist, Mike Dean, pours decades of expertise into every single piece, ensuring a memorial as unique as the life it celebrates.


Why Choose Our Exquisite Wooden Urns?

Choosing a wooden urn provides a warm, natural, and highly dignified tribute. For centuries, wood has been cherished for its beauty, durability, and deep connection to nature. This makes it an ideal material for a memorial that offers both strength and serenity.

Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each wooden urn from Barley Wood possesses a distinct character. From the natural grain patterns to the rich, tactile finish, no two pieces are exactly alike. This commitment to individuality ensures your loved one’s memorial is truly one-of-a-kind. Our urns reflect the enduring spirit of those they commemorate, offering a tangible link to memory and love.

The inherent warmth of the wood offers a sense of comfort and connection, making it a poignant choice for remembrance.
