Honoring a deceased person's ashes should not just end at the funeral; the Urnel by Formboten, a German studio founded by product designers Florian Langer and Patrick Decker, allows people to gracefully and tastefully store their loved one's ashes after everything is said and done. Although some people may opt to put ashes in something a little more meaningful and ornate, the Urnel by Formboten is a great option for those who desire something simple and sleek.
Available in three models, the Urnel by Formboten has a gentle geometric shape that is at once squarish, circular and triangular. A person could choose the more organic version that has a cork body and white top or the futuristic all-white and all-black vessels,
