The first funeral urn
My passion for woodworking motivates me to create unique objects.
Transforming raw wood into noble, elegant and durable objects is fascinating and rewarding.
I made my first urn when my mother died in 2005, I put all my emotions into it to create a unique piece for her.
His departure made me realize that nothing is certain and that life is ephemeral.
It is in this state of mind that I made the decision to open my cabinetmaking workshop in 2006. I discovered there the pleasure of entrepreneurship while nourishing my creative side.
In 2014, I had to make the most difficult cremation urn of all, that of my son who died at 18 in a car accident. Despite my pain, I felt the need to make it with my own hands. During the realization I became aware of the symbol represented by a funerary urn.
It was the best way to pay my son a last authentic tribute.
This ordeal transformed me, as well as my way of creating and making my funeral urns.
Urnes Raymond finally saw the light of day in 2021. I set up my workshop at home in Drummondville where I put all my respect and my passion into each of my creations, to create quality pieces, which in turn will allow you to return to a loved one, an authentic tribute.

A funeral urn, the symbol of a life
A cremation urn is much more than a simple wooden box.
It is above all the symbol of a life, a symbol of respect and humility.
It is the memory of the deceased, the possibility of keeping his ashes.
It is the symbol of a last tribute to a person who is dear to us.
