Memorial with family-size urn
Crematorium Daelwijck at Utrecht
1997
geef mij het verleden
en ik bewaar het
tot de tijd rijp is
keer mij dan om
en ik geef het heden
de toekomst-
give me the past
and I shall keep it
until time is ready
then turn me over
and I shall give to the present
the future
Between Heaven and Earth; a fruit, hanging from a tree, contains the core of the life that produced it, and will give life to a tree in the future.
In the parc of the crematorium Daelwijck this urn-memorial was placed. It is a family-size-urn.
The vase can contain the ashes of three persons and the pillars can bear their names.
The pillars can be made of natural stone but also from painted or plastered concrete (like on the picture).
The vase alone might be hung in a niche at home.
