How Are Marble Urns Made?
Cremation supplies like marble urns require a craftsman’s special touch and they are often formed from techniques that are hundreds, or maybe even thousands of years old.
Marble urns start as limestone rocks that are grinded and then polished. The rocks are then shaped in urns in one of two ways. They are either turned on a fast spinning lathe until the urn, almost magically, appears. Or several pieces are machine fabricated from marble tiles and then glued together to form the urn.
