TESTIMONIALS & MEDIA
"David Orth makes sculptural bronze urns that are my favorite of all the ones I found during my research for this post. They look primitive enough to be timeless, with a monumental look on a small scale. I would want any of these in my home even if there wasn't a [need for it], but the combination of form, material, and patina is worthy of an eternal resting-place."
Eric Siry - past design director for Rolling Stone & Wired magazines
Orth's urns featured in the Los Angeles Times, October 2015: "Artisanal Urns.”
“Orth’s art is amazing…overwhelming…the primal versus the ethereal. Rock and roll...the blues...arias."
James A. Mangum, author of the Dos Cruces Trilogy
“I cannot begin to express how happy I am with the urn - beautiful doesn't come close. The symbol is perfect, and the vision of the night sky and the inscription could not be improved. Having the urn, and knowing that Tim will be with me for the rest of my life in this beautiful way is the only thing that brings me a measure of peace right now.”

“You have done a beautiful job - such a fitting gift. I’m really glad that you agreed to keep my brother in mind whilst you finished the piece. I went out to Windsor Great Park - a very old park owned by the Queen and not far from the Castle - and transferred my brother’s ashes. Both the park and the urn will always be a memorial to him, and I want to thank you again for being so kind and caring, and for producing such a lovely piece of work.”
Perry, London - Watchtower Urn

Mike, Portland, OR - Far Hills Urn
Absolutely stunning, so fitting - more beautiful than I imagined. The inscription is amazing. The nuance of color in the bronze, exactly what we wanted to be part of our home – a final resting place for my husband and my kids’ father. I find such peace having it and have shared pictures with family and friends.

“The urn has arrived and it is absolutely the most appropriate and stunning work for my husband’s resting place....and for all of us to enjoy and remember our beloved.

"Your work is truly wonderful. I received the urn on Monday and it was packaged very carefully and shipped fine. My words cannot express the beauty and the tenderness I felt when I placed my father's ashes in your work. It is placed on the dining room table which overlooks the California coast to share both my Father's loving memory and the natural flow of your art.”

“The hand-crafted workmanship far surpassed my expectations! Thank you again for creating something very special in a market that is flooded with mediocrity."
Phil, Palm Springs, CA -Phoenix & Moon Urns
“I now know why I hadn’t done anything sooner. If I had, I would not have found something that was so fitting - it’s perfect. In fact my son had the ashes placed in it last night and both my children have decided that it is too nice to be in the garden, therefore at the moment it is sitting on our fireplace. Thank you once again and I will certainly recommend you to anybody."
