A wormy maple burial urn is a unique and beautifully crafted vessel designed to hold the cremated remains of a loved one. Fashioned from wormy maple, also known as ambrosia maple, this type of urn showcases the wood's distinctive natural patterns and character. The wood is named for the small ambrosia beetles that bore into the maple, leaving behind intricate trails and tunnels. As the tree responds to these tiny invaders, it creates striking streaks of gray, brown, and reddish hues that weave through the creamy white maple grain, resulting in a mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind design.

The urn itself is hand-built by skilled artisans, highlighting the wood’s organic beauty with smooth, flowing lines and a polished finish that enhances its earthy tones and textures. This wormy maple burial urn features a simple, elegant shape—allowing the wood’s natural artistry to take center stage. A secure lid ensures the ashes remain safely enclosed, while the urn’s modest yet striking appearance makes it a meaningful tribute, blending rustic charm with timeless sophistication.

Ideal for those who appreciate nature and the stories told through its materials, a wormy maple burial urn offers a warm, enduring resting place that celebrates both life and the beauty of the natural world.
