Celebrate Celtic Mythology with Our Celtic Horse Cremation Urn

Looking at cultures around the world, you’ll find white horses are powerful mythological symbols–not only in Celtic mythology but also in Norse, Slavic, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist mythological traditions. The White Horse is also found in the mythologies of cultures of the Far East, including those of Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam. It is also a part of Native American mythology; specifically for members of the Blackfeet nation, whose snow god rides a white horse.

Although often connected with warrior-heroes, like Rhiannon, a figure in Welsh mythology, white horses are visual representations of purity and spirituality, light, goodness, and freedom. The wide-spread symbolism of the White Horse makes our Sacred White Horse Celtic Cremation Urn an appropriate choice for many families around the globe.


You don’t have to be of Celtic descent to appreciate the beauty and significance of this cremation urn. Just like our Celtic Knot Raku Cremation Urn, each is hand-thrown and hand-carved by a husband and wife using the Japanese Raku technique.

If you like the idea of featuring a more playful image of a horse in a cremation urn for a loved one, Urn Garden also offers the Darling Rocking Horse Bronze Cremation Urn. It’s made in the USA, using the technique of lost wax casting. Like the Sacred White Horse Celtic Cremation Urn, this piece displays well on the fireplace mantel, adding an elegant charm to your home.
