All of our materials are sourced from across Ireland
Oak. An Dair Ghaelach
The Celtic ancients believed that the Irish Oak tree symbolises truth, courage and immortality. The acorn is a symbol of independence to its bearer. The beautiful Oak ranges in colour from amber and tan to biscuit. 200 – 250 years and older.
Irish Bog Oak (Morta)
Thousands of years ago forests of Oak, Yew and Pine grew where boglands are today. The remains of these forests are found up to six metres deep. The trees are preserved in the peat through lack of oxygen which prevents the process of decay. It is colored by the tannins present in the environment of the bog. It is coloured brown through to black. Most of the Morta is older than the pyramids of Egypt or the ancient site of Newgrange in Ireland.
Irish Field Maple
This beautiful maple grows in fields and hedge rows in Ireland.
Connemara Marble
The Connemara marble that we use comes from a quarry in Co.Galway. The quarry is located in Lissoughter, Recess, Co Galway. The marble that we use in our urns is over 900 million years old. After it has been quarried it is transported to Dublin where we cut it to size and polish it.
This marble cannot be found anywhere else in the world. No two pieces are exactly the same. Each piece is as unique as your fingerprint. It comes in a wide variety of colours and grain patterns.
The Beech
The Beech is associated with femininity and is considered the Queen of trees. It is consort to the King, the oak. Our Spalted Beech has a large variety of patterns in the grain. Some have likened it to desert sands. 200-250 years and older.
Brass Plaques
