Power of Personalization: Custom Guitar Urns That Don’t Look Like Urns

 

We craft unique cremation urns modeled after your loved one’s instrument—custom, personal, and beautiful. Each handmade memorial urn starts with clay, gets sculpted in our Texas studio, fired to ceramic, and finished with the detail and care of true artistry.

Here are some recent custom guitar urns we’ve brought to life: a green striped PRS electric, a gold-top Gibson Les Paul, a cream Fender Stratocaster, and a white Bret Michaels Z Dean (with Bret’s signature). Each design is more than homage—it’s a reflection of personality, passion, and life.

Why settle for ordinary when you can have an urn that’s an artistic urn for ashes, something distinct and meaningful? Our guitars don’t just resemble the instrument—they feel like it, through shape, color, and finish.

Planning your custom urn is easy: you supply photos or model details, choose personal engravings (name, dates, signature, lyrics, epitaph), and we sculpt and finish it hand-by-hand. You end with a one-of-a-kind urn that doesn’t look like an urn—and honors your loved one in a deeply personal way.

Power of Personalization: The love story of "Chip" Stickers Guitar

 

"I met Jon in the summer of 2003.  The first day I met him he had Chip with him.  In fact every time I hung out with him in the beginning of our relationship Chip was with him.  Jon went to another place every single time he played.  Music was his Heaven on earth.  As like turned into love I began to leave my mark on Chip in the form of stickers.  When I truly knew I loved Jon I started placing stickers on Chip while Jon played.  The first was the tie-dyed heart.  I can still remember the look on Jon's face.  It was breathtaking.  I knew he was in love too.  Days turned to months.  About 5 years into our relationship it was time to retire Chip.  He had gotten old and the sound was just not the same anymore.  Jon got a new guitar.  Every time we looked at Chip we referred to him as "our love story".  We could clearly remember the nights we spent together getting to know each other and falling deeper and deeper in love.  8 years later we were married.  We always thought of Chip and had intended on having him framed and displayed on the wall as a testimony of our love for each other.  When Jon tragically passed away at the age of 35, I wanted him to go off with music.  He had 4 guitars in our home.  2 were guitars he played, 1 was our guestbook at our wedding and the other was "our love story".  Our son did not want to part with the guitars that daddy played so...I sent Jon with Chip.  I took lots of pictures of Chip.  I was devastated.  I then found Awesome Urns.  They recreated Chip as an urn for my husband's remains.  I truly can think of no better resting place for Jon than inside our love story.  The urn is perfect.  It is exquisite and precisely what I was looking for.  I can never thank you enough for the sense of solace you have given me during this time of grief."
