Modern Design Meets Dignity: Starmark Unveils the Richmond Urn

RICHMOND, IN, September 10, 2026 — Starmark is pleased to introduce the Richmond Urn, a thoughtful and elegant solution designed to bring dignity and beauty to the display of temporary urns. Created to discreetly conceal the standard plastic container families often receive, this wood-style urn transforms a temporary vessel into a refined, mantel-ready tribute that complements the warmth of home.
Designed and manufactured in Richmond, Indiana, The Richmond Urn™ reflects both modern design sensibility and the timeless craftsmanship of hardwood construction. Brent Wilber, Starmark’s Product Development Engineer and the designer behind The Richmond, drew inspiration directly from the families the product is meant to serve.
“The purpose of The Richmond Urn is to create a design that feels modern, refined, and comforting,” Wilber shared. “The Richmond Urn provides for easy transfer of the cremated remains to their permanent placement for a lasting tribute without disturbing the contents of the temporary container.”
Engineered with both beauty and practicality in mind, The Richmond features a secure screw-closure base designed to safely house a temporary Starmark Sure~Lock urn within its wooden exterior. The result is a seamless, secure solution that honors life with warmth, simplicity, and lasting care. Every side of The Richmond can be engraved, offering families the freedom to add names, dates, sentiments, or personal artwork that transform the piece into a deeply personal memorial. Available in two sizes and seven eco-friendly, water-based finishes—Natural Cedar, Natural Cherry, Sedona Cherry, Shaker Cherry, Classic Oak, Weathered Oak, and Provincial Maple—the Richmond complements a wide range of home décor styles while honoring each individual story.
“The Richmond respectfully houses the Sure~Lock® urn within its beautifully crafted wooden exterior, simple yet stylized, with smooth, rounded corners that soften the form and give it a modern look while preserving the warmth and dignity that wood naturally provides,” Wilber added. “That balance was incredibly important.”
Built with quality, longevity, and compassion at its core, The Richmond Urn™ offers families a beautiful and lasting way to remember a life well lived.
