Some memories feel more personal when they remain exactly as we remember them. The Embrace Handwritten Collection allows families to transform handwriting from a card, letter, recipe, note, signature, or family-written message into a custom engraving, creating a cremation urn that feels distinctly connected to the person being remembered.
Available in soft-touch matte Earth, Beige, and Cream finishes and a selection of sizes, these personalized Embrace urns offer a meaningful alternative for families who want something more personal than a pre-designed memorial.

Cremation urns and human ashes urns are made from a variety of materials, each offering different benefits:
The choice of material depends on how the urn will be used and personal preference.
If you plan to scatter ashes, certain cremation urns are designed specifically for this purpose:
These options make it easier to conduct a respectful and meaningful scattering ceremony while honoring your loved one.
The average size of cremation urns for adults is typically:
A general guideline for urns for human ashes is:
1 pound of body weight = 1 cubic inch of ashes
For example, a person weighing 150 lbs will need approximately a 150 cubic inch urn. It’s often recommended to choose slightly larger burial urns to ensure enough space.
Absolutely. Their elegant finishes and decorative designs make brass and metal urns a beautiful choice for display in the home or during memorial services.
You can submit handwriting from many different sources, including handwritten cards, letters, notes, recipes, signatures, or other meaningful keepsakes. You may also submit a new handwritten message created by a family member specifically for the urn.
Yes. You do not have to use the entire document. You can select a meaningful phrase, a few words, a signature, a recipe heading, or another specific section of the handwriting that you would like incorporated into the design.
Choosing a cremation urn is deeply personal, and sometimes a
pre-engraved image or design simply does not feel specific enough to the person you are remembering.
The Embrace Handwritten Collection was created for families who want the memorial itself to carry something more personal: handwriting they already know.
It might be the way Mom signed every birthday card, a few words at the bottom of a letter, Dad's signature, a handwritten family recipe, a note kept in a drawer for years, or even a new message written by someone in the family.
Instead of selecting a design created in advance, the handwriting itself becomes the design. Turn Meaningful Handwriting Into a Lasting Memorial. Handwriting often carries details that ordinary typed text cannot reproduce.
The curve of a letter.
The way someone crossed a T.
The shape of a familiar signature.
The way they always wrote “Love, Mom” or “Love, Dad.”
These small details can be instantly recognizable to the people who knew them.
With an Embrace Handwritten Cremation Urn, a clear photograph or scan of the handwriting can be prepared for engraving onto the urn, allowing those familiar details to become part of the memorial.
Handwriting can be taken from many meaningful sources, including:
The handwriting does not have to come from the person who
passed away. Families may also create a new handwritten message, short phrase, or simple artwork especially for the urn.
A More Personal Alternative to Pre-Engraved Designs
The traditional Embrace Collection offers a wide range of meaningful engraved designs, from butterflies and doves to flowers, hearts, religious symbols, and other memorial themes.
For some families, however, choosing from an existing design may still feel too general. The Embrace Handwritten Collection offers another way to personalize the memorial by starting with something that already has a personal connection.
Rather than asking, “Which design should we choose?” the answer may already be sitting inside an old card, recipe book, letter, or keepsake box. That is what makes each handwritten urn different. The engraving begins with something connected specifically to your family and your memories.
Soft-Touch Matte Earth, Beige and Cream Finishes
The Embrace Handwritten Collection is available in three understated matte
colors:
Earth offers a deeper, grounded appearance with a warm natural
character.
Beige provides a soft neutral finish with a calm and understated look.
Cream has a gentle, warm appearance that keeps the overall memorial light and refined.
Each urn features a soft-touch matte finish, giving the surface a
smooth, subtle feel while providing a clean background that allows the engraved handwriting to remain the focus. A brushed pewter band adds a familiar Embrace detail and provides a quiet
contrast against the matte surface.
Available in Different Memorial Sizes
The collection is available in multiple Embrace sizes so families can choose the option that best suits how the ashes will be kept or shared. Adult Embrace Handwritten Urns are full-size cremation urns intended to hold an adult's cremated remains within the stated capacity of the individual product.
Medium Embrace Handwritten Urns provide a smaller-capacity memorial option.
Keepsake Embrace Handwritten Urns are designed to hold a small portion of ashes and may be chosen when cremated remains are being shared among family members or when a smaller personal memorial is preferred.
Tealight Embrace Handwritten Urns combine a small memorial with the warm presence of a tealight candle, creating a personal place for remembrance. Always review the capacity and dimensions shown on the individual product page
before selecting an urn.
How the Handwriting Personalization Process Works
Creating a handwritten memorial begins with something you already have.
1. Choose the handwriting
Select the words, signature, note, recipe, letter, or family-written message you would like to use.
2. Take a clear photo or scan
Place the handwriting flat in good lighting and make sure the words you want engraved are clearly visible.
3. Upload the image
Upload the handwriting when completing the personalization options on the product page and provide any requested instructions.
4. GetUrns prepares the artwork
Our team prepares the submitted handwriting so it can be used for the engraving.
5. Review your digital proof
A digital proof is sent for review so you can see how the prepared handwriting will appear before engraving.
6. Approve the design
Once the proof is approved, the personalized engraving can move into production.
This extra review step is especially important for handwritten memorials because every signature, letter, and handwritten phrase is different.
Choosing Handwriting That Works Well for Engraving
For the clearest result, choose handwriting that is easy to see in the photograph or scan. Dark handwriting on a light, uncluttered background generally provides the clearest source image. Avoid heavy shadows, glare, folds running directly through the words, or photographs taken from a sharp angle.
Shorter phrases and signatures can also allow the individual characteristics of the handwriting to remain more visible once engraved. If you are using a longer letter or recipe, you do not necessarily need to engrave the entire page. A meaningful sentence, signature, heading, or a few familiar words may be enough to create the connection you are looking for.
A Memorial Written in Their Own Way
A name or message can always be typed.
Handwriting carries something different.
It preserves the small imperfections, familiar movements, and individual character of the way someone actually wrote.
For families who have kept a card, recipe, letter, signature, or note because it still feels connected to the person they remember, the Embrace Handwritten Collection provides a way to carry that connection into the memorial itself. Because sometimes the most personal design has already been written.
