Filling and composing the urn

All accessories for filling and sealing the urn are included. The urn is sealed with high-strength double-sided sealing tape that can be loaded with very high tensile strength. Filling the urn is easy. Proceed as follows:

1. Empty the plastic bag provided into the urn and keep a portion outside.
2. Use the protruding part as a funnel and pour the ashes into this.
3. Seal the plastic bag with the tyrap provided and insert it completely into the opening of the urn.
4. After this, make sure the internal fitting edge of the urn is well free of dust, grease and moisture. Use the cloth provided for this purpose.
5. Remove the protective film from the lid and carefully place it against the edge of the ash container opening.
6. Close the ash container by pressing the lid into the rim in one movement; a properly closed lid should not protrude above the other material. The bottom is now flat.
7. Press the lid firmly and the urn is closed.

Of course, you can also leave the filling of the urn to the crematorium or funeral director.

About the material

Bronze is a durable and weather-resistant material. We process the material into sheet material. Various shapes can be created by welding and bending.

Patina
Patina is the coloured oxide layer formed on the bronze after the product is finished. This colour is applied manually and can have many variations in colour. We can supply the colours green and brown. The application of patina has a unique effect on each urn, making each urn unique.

Maintenance

The base material bronze does not decay and therefore requires no maintenance. The coloured patina, however, does.

Green
When a green patina has been applied, only removing dirt with a soft cloth, water and soapy water is sufficient. Do not scrub hard as the layer is fragile. Over the years, the green layer will change and become more even.

Brown
A slightly shiny wax layer is applied over the brown patina. This wax layer stops the oxidation process and prevents the bronze from further oxidising and eventually turning green. If the object is placed indoors, keeping it dust-free is sufficient. Outdoors, the brown patina requires more maintenance. Depending on the location and weather conditions, the wax layer should be touched up at least once every two years. This is done by smearing it with beeswax. Apply beeswax with a cloth, let it soak in and then polish it out.
