Smaller than typical urns, keepsake urns allow several family members to keep a portion of the cremated remains in a special place in the home.

Special offer on Kerry Collection Urns

The Kerry Collection of Irish-American cremation urns draws its inspiration from the courage, determination and faith of Irish immigrants to America. To help families discover their heritage, we are including a one-month membership to Ancestry.com with each Kerry Collection urn purchase. Please see our site to view the urns and learn more about this offer, valid until September 30, 2010.

Introducing the Kerry Collection of Irish-American Urns

The Irish in America have always found ways to incorporate their traditions into American life. Our new urns in the Kerry Collection pay tribute to the Irish-American community by combing American-made urns with Irish-made Celtic Crosses and other traditional symbols. These urns are available exclusively through Richard Lamb New Traditions.

Eco-friendly bamboo cremation urns are back

A few months back, our bamboo urn supplier decided to stop making his eco-friendly urns. We have located another source for handmade bamboo urns. These urns are available in two colors - natural and golden - and are finished with a water-based, LEED-certified coating. They are attached to a base using fasteners made of recycled material. Custom engraving is included, but these urns are beautiful enough to stand on their own.
