The early summer 2009 edition of Arts & Crafts Homes and the Revival magazine featured "The Resting Place," an article about Kevin Green and his "Japanese-influenced Arts and Crafts urns in cherry, oak, or maple accented with black walnut."

During times of difficulty and sorrow the human spirit has always turned to beauty, art and nature. Each of these transcends the material world in much the same way that the spirit transcends the body at death. At the Kettle River Urn and Casket Company, artist and master woodworker Kevin Green, has beautifully combined art and nature in unique hand-crafted wooden urns. Drawing upon the design styles which emerged in the early and mid 1900’s our urns reflect the influence and detail of Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the Arts and Crafts movements.
Our elegant line of cremation urns and burial urns gently fuse the clean lines of Japanese design and the artistic elements of the American Arts and Crafts movement into aesthetically pleasing cremation urn designs that will grace your home or mantle for generations to come. We emphasize quality craftsmanship, good proportions, rich colors, and beautiful wood grains, taken from sustainable trees, to make our cremation urns as beautiful as they are functional.
Distinctive design elements of our urns include heirloom-quality hardwoods and hand-carved ebonized-wood details. Some of our designs also include separate keepsake compartments to hold your loved one's cherished mementos. We offer two styles of cremation urns, those with a keepsake or memento box designed into the top and those without.
We also offer a line of smaller, environmentally friendly, handcrafted pet cremation urns made of stunningly beautiful hardwoods with fine-carpentry detailing that will provide you with a special and loving way to remember your dog, cat, or pet.
