My father recently passed and I had him cremated. He's currently in a sealed bag in a box, but I'd like to get a custom urn made that's Zelda themed, since we both loved The Legend of Zelda series. However, Etsy has become a difficult place to find anything with how filled it's become with mass produced stuff.

Any one have a place or seller that I could get one made? Or perhaps a reputable seller of just urns and someone who could paint them?

Thanks in advance.

Hey the clay pot idea is great and I feel silly for having not thought of it. I'll have to look around for that. Get the pot and then have someone paint it later. Thanks for that.

As for the wood, that also sounds nice. A buddy actually suggested something similar and then having it painted or carved on.

breakable pot

Would NOT use that for ashes...

You might be able to ask e.g. https://www.etsy.com/shop/FireMuseShop to make a custom ceramic pot instead.

Hey those look nice and they're nearby. Thanks for the find. I may have overlooked them in my exhaustion during my search. Thank you.

Hey, that's just because you break them in the game... *clicks link* oh, it's actually designed with fractures nvm...

You know along those lines you might just want to see if there is any one local that does pottery and maybe approach them for something custom.
