Pandanus Ashes Urns

The Pandanus Urns are made from the leaves of a prolific growing plant, a provider of a highly renewable and sustainable material. The dried leaves are twisted into cord using traditional methods, then woven and coiled around a natural framework. Rattan is also woven into the design to create a striking lightweight contrast against the silvery colour of the Pandanus, they are made in Indonesia in World Fair Trade Organisation accredited workshops.

​The Pandanus species grow in tropical to subtropical climate and can vary from a medium shrub size to 20 m tall trees, producing fruits which look similar to pineapples. It is a prolific and fast growing plant which is easy to sustain. Almost all parts of the Pandanus plant have its uses. The leaves add flavour and colour to dishes such as the “Pandan cake”, but are more commonly used for crafts. The leaves are being sliced into strips, dried and twisted into cords, which also can be dyed using water-based colours. The Pandanus cord has a similar appearance to what is commonly known as “sea grass”. However, as it grows on land its harvesting process does not affect any maritime wildlife.

Nameplates

With every urn order we include a free of charge bamboo name plate (this can vary in design dependant on the style of the urn but the one most commonly used is in the photo below) this is blank and you can either have this engraved by us (using engraving lines 1 & 2, 3 when you order for an additional charge of £18.00 per line) or you can arrange for this to be done yourself or by your Funeral Director).
