How it started

As the son of a cabinet maker, I spent my childhood in my father’s shop absorbing all the wisdom and knowledge I could. Watching him work and helping him on projects ignited a passion for woodworking that continues today.

However, my fathers passing during my adolescence left me frustrated and my desire for woodworking dwindled. I rediscovered my passion in college when I began working for a home remodeling contractor during my summer breaks. I soon began to build furniture for family and friends.

In 2009, I spent the summer honing my skills at the famous Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers shop in Auburn, Maine. Upon returning home the idea for Sustar Woodworks was born.

From Furniture To Urn

Years ago, I stood in your shoes while helping my family select an urn for my father. Nothing on the market seemed right to us. Using the woodworking skills my father had taught me I set out to build an urn that would honor his life.

In 2019, after many requests for custom urns, I started Perennial Memorial Urns, with a mission to build the finest wooden urns. Each urn is handcrafted in Milwaukee, WI.

I recognize that families want a tangible item that honors their loved ones with dignity and respect. My urns offer a truly meaningful monument that you can be proud of. Each urn is made with the finest hardwoods to create a unique piece for you and your loved ones.
