Caskets, Urns & Keepsakes
Choosing a casket or urn is a deeply personal decision. At Hope and Sons, we offer a wide range of options – from traditional and eco-friendly caskets to decorative urns and keepsake jewellery – so every family can find something meaningful to honour their loved one.
The Casket Collection
The Urn Collection
Following a cremation, the cremated remains (commonly referred to as ashes) are returned to the funeral home in a temporary urn. It is suitable for storage if you are choosing to scatter the ashes at a later date.
If you wish to keep the ashes at home or if you wish to bury them, you may choose to have them placed in a more attractive and decorative urn. Our urns are similar to the casket range. An urn can be made of solid wood or particleboard/MDF or painted the same colour as the casket. There are many other designs and materials that you can see at our offices. You may also choose to supply your own container into which we will transfer the ashes.
Keepsakes that hold memories
Keepsakes allow you to carry a lasting connection with your loved one. From fingerprint jewellery to pendants and charms that hold a small portion of ashes, these personal items can bring comfort long after the funeral. Each piece is crafted with sensitivity and care.
Keepsake Jewellery
Designed and crafted in New Zealand, Keepsakes with Love Jewellery offers a sensitive range of memorabilia including pendants, rings and charms.
Our keepsakes can be filled with a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or other small Keepsake, meaning you will never be without your loved one.
