A memorial for your child or pet.

This urn has been handcrafted from the exotic Macrocarpa tree. Macrocarpa's natural habitat is limited to the peninsular of Point Lobos near Monterey in Southern California also home of Radiata Pine and was introduced to New Zealand in the 1860's, planted mainly as shelter belts but occasionally as plantations. The timber is a low to medium density softwood and has a large amount of heartwood which is a golden brown honey colour. It has a moderately stiff strong timber similar to New Zealand grown Douglas Fir and is one of the most naturally durable exotic softwoods grown in here. The Macrocarpa is resistant to insects and borer attack in its sawn form, its heartwood is rated moderately durable and when dry will accept a variety of paints, oils, two pot resins and varnishes. The nameplate provided can be stuck on the top of the urn or on the side.
