The Trappist Monks of New Melleray Abbey believe you and your loved ones deserve a more personal approach.
Our Wooden Urns are designed for an individual. They are made from the highest quality wood, selected for its distinctive color and grain, and finished with a clear lacquer that enhances the beauty of the wood.
Like every Trappist Casket, each finely crafted wooden urn is made in the prayerful environment of New Melleray Abbey and individually blessed by a monk. The name of your loved one is also inscribed in our Memorial book. All urns are built to industry standards.

Testimonials
“I must also express my continuing thanks and gratefulness for the way my casket order was taken care of. From beginning to end, it was both easy and, most importantly, a moment of Christian faith and hope.” — Pamela, Chicago, IL
I ordered a simple casket for my Mother. The picture on the website doesn’t adequately convey the beauty of your work. You could tell that loving hands put it together. The workmanship was remarkable. Many of our relatives and friends commented on how surprised they were by the “soft” look of this casket, compared to a metal one. We were very pleased, and I believe my mother would have liked our choice. — Mary Jane, Redondo Beach, CA
