When we started to work, we found that making an urn is a different journey for an artist. An urn means a lot to the family and their memories. When we were asked to make four urns it took a lot of thought and planning. 4 We chose the theme of trees because of the historical significance and symbolism of a tree. Symbolism of leaves.
