On Urns

The urn is seen as the final place of stay – the epilogue to an amazing tale of life gathered in a small vase with a lid. To many, urns are stigmatized as a symbol of death or loss, but HappyUrns believes otherwise. We want to remind everyone that the topic of end-of-life is a significant opportunity to celebrate and appreciate our loved ones.

HappyUrns Projects

Over the course of the HappyUrns journey, we developed 3 projects that help different groups of people engage with end-of-life topics with their loved ones. Scroll down for some interactive sneak peaks of these creations or use the map to visit different parts of the virtual exhibition!
