Description

The Viking Longship Urn  – keepsake size

The keepsake Viking longship urn is ideal if you wish to send a small portion of a loved ones ashes out in Viking style, or use it to hold on to some of the ashes or you may want a replica of the full size that went out in a blaze of glory – the choice is yours.

These keepsake urns are handmade from sustainable wood, finished to a very high standard. With crafted detail such as shields, a striped sail and steering oars.

They come with a stand so you can keep them on display.

Dimensions:

The keepsake urn is approximately 1/3 scale of the full size version. Ideal for display purposes with or without ashes.

Remember, if you do choose to burn this smaller version this is a natural process with wood, fire and water so we can’t predict accurately: how long the boat will burn for; the amount of it will take; and impact of the weather and water. We don’t recommend its use for burning on water. The amount of ashes you use is up to you, but the boat will need to sit comfortably in the water and as it is a lot smaller than the full size version it will need very calm conditions.

What others say:

As Charles Cowling author of the Good Funeral Guide puts it about the Viking send off: “It is spectacular. The flames rise to the heavens as the wind fills the longboat’s sails and it journeys. There is compelling emotional and spiritual appeal in this imagery, of journeying, transition, transfiguration and consummation. The spirit rises as the craft moves over the face of the waters; that which is earthly is subsumed by the sea. All the elements are present: earth, air, fire, water. And there is an inexorable dynamic.”
