GetUrns is happy to announce our Legacy Collection of urns. The collection is crafted by skilled artisans at MacKenzie Urns, who have been helping families honor their loved ones for over a century.

The Legacy collection embraces the latest printing technology to allow for spectacular and vibrantly colored graphics to be printed and cured directly on white plate without worrying about peeling or fading. Alternatively, these urns can be complimented by a sophisticated custom engraved brass plate.

With the help of the team at MacKenzie Urns, we’re able to provide urns from one of the industry’s most trusted craftsmen. 

The History of MacKenzie Urns

 

MacKenzie Urns are designed for people who are cherished. Celebrating loved ones since 1897, the company is known for its timeless stone urns that are as beautiful today as they were 120+ years ago.

Three generations of love and passion have propelled MacKenzie in many ways:

• Unmatched beauty, functionality, and durability
• Legacy by MacKenzie Cremation Urns are federally patented
• TSA Approved

Made in the USA, these urns have a long history that dates back even longer than the company’s founding. John MacKenzie graduated in 1886 from a wood crafting and metal forging school in Dornoch, Scotland.

Scotland was in disarray at the time, suffering from a depression that made it difficult for John to find meaningful work.

Immigration was on the rise, with many of his countrymen and women traveling to new countries to find success. John found himself relocating to Nova Scotia, where he built wagon wheels and was known as a skilled blacksmith and woodworker.

Always an innovator, he learned how to make wagon wheels more durable and extend their lifespan. His innovation led to a series of events that would change his life, and the generations after him, forever.

• John started making funeral coaches through a partnership he formed
• Coaches led to caskets
• Caskets led to an immense interest in the funeral business among his sons

John’s sons would relocate to Massachusetts to practice their embalming, where MacKenzie Vault, Inc. was founded.

 

Collaborating to Create the Legacy Collection

Three generations of MacKenzie family members have kept their commitment to urns that offer 100% satisfaction – guaranteed.The urns in the Legacy collection offer:

Durable Cultured Marble to Last for Generations

 

The urns in our Legacy Collection are made from cultured marble, a durable and beautiful manmade material consisting of crushed stone. Known for its elegance and longevity, cultured marble has advantages as an urn material. Hard work and dedication remain a cornerstone of MacKenzie Urns, and the Legacy embodied the durability that made MacKenzie famous. The urns in the Legacy Cremation Urns collection offer:

• Hand-sculpted Cultured Marble: Your loved one deserves only the best. Hand-sculpted, cultured marble offers a unique touch in cremation and ensures that each urn receives the love and care to last for generations. With a special casting process, cultured marble recreates the veining and patterns found in natural stone. Because this material is manmade, you can choose from a variety of colors.
• Break, chip, and stain resistant: Cultured marble is non-porous, which means that it’s resistant to chipping and staining. Whether you choose to keep your urn at home, display it in a columbarium or bury it in the ground, you can rest assured that it will withstand the test of time. Durable materials allow urns in the Legacy collection to drop and never break. MacKenzie Urns may dent or become scratched, but they won’t break open. However, please note that the urn can be damaged with enough force and we do recommend that every urn be handled with the utmost care to maintain its beauty and natural integrity.
• Direct-ground Burial: Each urn is certified for direct-ground burial. These urns are guaranteed to never need an urn vault to be buried.

If you’re looking for a long-lasting and graceful way to store your loved one’s ashes, cultured marble is an excellent option.

The Legacy Urn collection provides the integrity, care, and attention-to-detail your loved one deserves when they pass on.

 

TSA Approved for Safe Travel

 

The TSA will scrutinize any urns that you plan to bring abroad in your carry-on luggage. Flying with urns can be stressful and tedious, but all urns in this collection are TSA approved to fly.

What does this mean?

• You can bring them on a plane in your carry-on luggage
• Each urn will pass through x-ray scans
• Security personnel will not open the urn

Losing a loved one is difficult enough, and the last thing you want to do is have to talk to a TSA agent who wants you to explain why you’re bringing an urn on the plane. TSA approval gives you peace of mind that you’ll have no issues boarding a plane, nor will you be required to explain yourself to officials.

If you want to ship an urn, the Legacy collection is a good option.

These urns are double boxed for added security, but shippers may not be allowed to transport the urn if it is full. If you need to ship a full urn, it’s important to make arrangements ahead of time so that your loved one's ashes can be legally shipped and will arrive at their destination on time.

 

HD Color Printing Technology

Vibrant colors are a cornerstone of this collection thanks to advanced UV printing technology. The use of special printing and curing allows for prints to cure instantly, ensuring that they maintain their color and design like never before.

Fast curing also eliminates the need for glue or other adhesive material to be used for your urn.

The ability to print directly on the urn is something that you’ll cherish. Year after year, you can look at the urn and admire its ability to stand the test of time, much like your love for the person that you lost.
