The Irish Wake
Offers Hand-Made Connemara Marble Urns
SOUTH RIVER, NJ – The Irish Wake, a unique supplier offering a wide array of Irish themed funeral items, is working with an Irish marblesmith to produce hand-carved cremation urns made of solid Connemara marble.
Considered one of Ireland’s most distinctive and authentic products, Connemara marble is an ancient stone found nowhere else on earth. Collectors from around the world admire the marble for its rich, unpredictable veins of green and gray that mirror Ireland’s misty landscape.
“To our knowledge, this is the industry’s only urn made of solid, authentic Irish Connemara marble,” said Mary Ellen Triola, who founded The Irish Wake with sister-in-law Nancy Thorpe in 2002. “The idea of placing a loved one’s ashes in an actual piece of the Irish homeland is very special. It’s taken us several years to achieve the elegant lidded vase design we wanted, but the Connemara marble urn is finally a reality.”
The urn’s average weight is an impressive 20 lbs., an extraordinary quantity of such a rare and desirable marble. They are individually hand-carved and polished, making each urn a unique work of art; no two are exactly alike.
The precious stone urn fits perfectly in The Irish Wake product line, which features Ireland’s most luxurious goods, including Belleek Fine Parian China, Ferguson’s Irish Linen, Galway Crystal and Mullingar Pewter.
In addition to cremation urns, The Irish Wake offers many items for traditional funerals, including Irish-themed register books, prayer cards and acknowledgement cards; Celtic crosses; casket drapes; candles; and more.
The company’s entire collection can be viewed online at www.TheIrishWake.com. Free color catalogs are available by calling toll-free 1-866-IRISH-86.
