Fellow Lemmings: I need an urn. Does anyone know of a decent place to get one made? (lemmy.world)

My father recently passed and I had him cremated. He's currently in a sealed bag in a box, but I'd like to get a custom urn made that's Zelda themed, since we both loved The Legend of Zelda series. However, Etsy has become a difficult place to find anything with how filled it's become with mass produced stuff.

Any one have a place or seller that I could get one made? Or perhaps a reputable seller of just urns and someone who could paint them?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried aliexpress?

The last urn I got was from there. The crematorium was selling the exact same one for 10x the price.

Not sure about Zelda theme. You could try finding something that's not an urn and call it an urn?

Sorry for your loss and good luck on your journey ahead

I haven't yet but I was trying to avoid it. I wanted something bespoke, made by someone who isn't being paid slave wages. I hope that doesn't come off as arrogant.

Someone else suggested a clay pot modeled after the in-game ones and that's a very neat idea.

Thanks for everything.
