ETERNITY CREMATION URNS
AND MEMORIALS
Cloisonne cremation urns originated in China. They first appeared in the late 13th
Century under the Yuan Dynasty alongside other ornaments decorated using the
cloisonne technique. By the 15th Century under the Ming Dynasty, This technique was a
well-established art form and widely used for a variety of purposes.
The creative process used to make cloisonne is little changed from the techniques
implemented in the production of cloisonne  500 years ago. Chinese artisans would gently
hammer out copper cores to form base shapes for the vase. Hand decoration was then
applied using copper rods. Today, more intricate designs on cloisonne urns are created
through the application of a copper wire mesh.
The next step in the creation of cloisonne is the inlaying of enamel to the base  between
the wire mesh. It is the different mineral compositions of the inlaid enamels that are
responsible for the dazzling colors on cloisonne urns when fired. Cloisonne urns are fired
many times over to achieve the vibrancy of color associated with these types of funeral
urns, and in a final process the cloisonne art is repeatedly polished to enhance its shine.
As an urn in which to hold cremated remains, these lovely urns form a highly decorative
memorial to the deceased. In fact, many people choose cloisonne cremation urns for a
dual purpose - to hold their loved one's ashes and to be set upon display as an alluring
piece of art. But, whichever visual function these style of urns are chosen to perform, you
can be sure that their unique appearance will form a striking
memorial in honor of loved ones passed away.
