"Dear customers of the Natural Urn Manufactory,

We are Katharina and Sebastian, and together we founded Farvel in 2024. Our paths crossed in 2008 while studying in Zurich. The idea for Farvel was born many years later, high above Lake Geneva, in a conversation about the loss of a loved one and the difficulty of finding an urn that met our standards of aesthetics, sustainability, and meaning.

This gave rise to the desire to create something new. An urn that is more than a container. A keepsake. Personal, stylish, and responsibly produced. Together with designer René Odermatt (Studio Porto) and partners from social workshops, we have begun to make this vision a reality.

Our urns are 3D-printed from biodegradable wood fibers and carefully hand-finished. Each urn is unique—be it in its shape, its lid made of fine wood or marble, or in the stories associated with it.

We are very pleased to now make our collection directly available in Germany through the Natururnen Manufaktur.

With Farvel, we want to help shape a contemporary culture of remembrance and enable individual ways of saying goodbye."
