Starmark® Cremation Products Acquires Chateau Urns

RICHMOND, IN, June 12, 2025 – Starmark, the cremation solutions leader, has announced the acquisition of Chateau Urns in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The addition of the Chateau Urns line expands Starmark’s innovative range of funeral products, providing more urn solutions to customers. 

Chateau Urns was established in 2009 alongside a cigar humidor company and became a family-owned and operated business in 2016. Brandi Combs, owner of Chateau Urns, recognized that due to the lack of options on the market for crafted display urns, funeral homes were purchasing humidors for their families to use as a memento set or a decorative piece to display on their mantle, reminding them of their loved ones. “This realization showed us the need in funeral service to create a more personalized urn with unique designs to represent loved ones passed.” 

“At the start of Chateau Urns, my primary focus was to create a meaningful product that would play a role in people’s most significant moments. We used high-quality materials, developed unique designs, and aimed to build a brand that was not just a business but a name that people could trust when they wanted to commemorate a loved one. There has been no greater honor than to be a part of those moments in someone’s life.” Combs shared. 

Over the coming months, Starmark plans to build on the already respectable reputation Chateau Urns has established in funeral service. Combs will work closely with Starmark’s team to ensure a seamless transition for Chateau Urns’ customers. 

Through this acquisition, Combs will continue to serve funeral professionals as a team member with Starmark, serving as the Starmark Local Account Representative for the Florida Region. Combs expressed her excitement for her new role, saying, “Like Chateau Urns, Starmark has also built a brand on quality, innovation, trust, and reliability, which is why I could not be more excited to become a part of the Starmark family. By teaming up with Starmark, I look forward to collaborating on creating products and helping funeral professionals focus on what matters most: allowing families to lay their loved ones to rest in a sensible yet dignified and respectful manner.”
