Fellow Lemmings: I need an urn. Does anyone know of a decent place to get one made? (self.asklemmy)

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.

I got an urn for my son off a woodworker i followed on TikTok.

Since you are thinking a zelda themed urn, maybe a clay pot that look like the ones from the game? Try a pottery shop?

If you want wood, i could try and hook you up with the guy who did my son's.

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.

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.
