Inspired by the poet Frederik van Eeden and his poem about a water lily pond a beautiful project was conceptualised and developed for a memorial pond as a centrepiece to the cemetery with 36 ceramic water lily urns.
The ashes of the deceased are placed in a water lily in this completely renovated pond at Akendam cemetery, NL.
Relatives of the deceased can lease a lily urn for a period of 5 to 10 years. The lily pond provides a new alternative to traditional urnwall.
