Eagle Urns: A Majestic Presence in Your Home

Any one of our bronze cremation urns will add warmth to any interior setting. Blending especially well with earth tones, a bronze cremation urn will also complement purple, green, red and burgundy color schemes and add a note of elegance to your home.

This month, we’d like to shine a spotlight on two of our most popular bronze cremation urns, the Spirit of American Bronze Eagle Cremation Urn, a solitary eagle which stands 19” tall, and our Limited Edition Bronze Eagle Urn, which features a pair of majestic eagles and is 17” high.

Bronze is a Timeless Tribute

Because of its unique properties, bronze is perfect for cast metal sculptures, like our bronze eagle urn. This is because the alloy expands slightly before it sets, filling in the smallest details of the mold used. It then shrinks upon cooling, which makes it easy to remove from the mold. It allows artisans to recreate nature and visualize the imagined in greater detail than stone or ceramic. Bronze has been used for millennia to create memorials for prominent citizens as well as works of art intended to grace public spaces and private homes. Because of their three-dimensional nature, bronze sculptures take up space, just like you and I do; you can related to it much like you can another person or object.

But Why the Bald Eagle?

After all, there dozens of bronze cremation urns modeled on nature available today. What makes the eagle a meaningful, emotive choice for a loved one’s ashes? Is it the intrinsic physical and behavioral characteristics of the bird itself? A large bird, the adult Bald Eagle can be over two feet tall. With keen eyesight and a fearless, tenacious attitude, the Bald Eagle is a fierce predator and protector.
Is it the fact the eagle has been a patriotic symbol of the United States since 1782? It was chosen for the emblem of the nation for many reasons, including the bird’s long life, great strength, protective nature, and majestic appearance. Because of this inherent patriotism, the Spirit of America Bronze Eagle Urn is a perfect way to pay tribute to someone who served in the military or in the political life of our nation.

Or could it be the totemic symbolism–what is often called the “spirit animal”–of the eagle? Embodying freedom, strength, wisdom, power, clear vision, balance, grace and dignity; the eagle is the chosen totem animal for many people around the world. For some, the eagle is a symbol of rebirth asking us to tap into our inner strength; to be willing to go on a journey of self-discovery, to stretch your limits and soar, as the eagle, to new heights of awareness.

If a bronze eagle urn isn’t the right choice for your home, but you’re still intrigued by the imagery and symbolism of the Bald Eagle, you should take a look at our beautiful more traditional, Soaring Free Eagle Urn for Ashes.
