A memorial for your loved one.

This Toroa urn has been handcrafted from the mighty Oak tree. The oaks red and white are the most abundant US hardwood species. It would be difficult to name one with a longer and more illustrious history in furnishings and interior design. It was a favourite of early English craftsmen and a prized material for American colonists. White oak is just one of 86 species, native to this country but it is the classic oak of America. Although prevalent throughout the eastern half of the United States, from Maine to Texas, this lumber comes chiefly from the South, South Atlantic and central states including the Southern Appalachians. The white variety ranges from nearly white sapwood to a darker grey brown heartwood, the grain is distinguished by rays which reflect light and add to its attractiveness. Depending on the way the logs are sawn many distinctive and sought after patterns emerge. It is heavy, very strong and very hard, stiff, and durable under exposure and can be stained beautifully with a wide range of finishes. The nameplate provided can be stuck on the top of the urn or on the side.
