This one of a kind work of art is The Eternal Shield. Created by the master wood turner and founder of Artistic Urns, Clark McMullen has pushed the envelope in the funeral industry with this hand made unique urn. Inspired by a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, requested from a Director in Upper Manhattan and brought to reality on a custom built lathe, the Eternal Shield is the ultimate definition of the urn that does not look like an urn.

Each Eternal Shield is named, numbered and signed by Clark McMullen. A truly innovative approach to providing families solutions they can feel proud of - When Ordinary Won’t Do.

This urn is made from Maple wood, an American favorite. Best known for syrup and displays of red, orange and yellow each fall, Maples grow throughout the Eastern and Central United States. Trees can reach 130 feet tall and the wood color varies from creamy white to grey to reddish-brown depending on the species. This piece exhibits decorative design in the wood as a result of the Ambrosia beetle. Appropriately referred to as Ambrosia Maple, this wood is highly sought after for wood turning.
