Baby urn 'Heart'

A heart that stays

A heart is one of the most honest shapes there is. It asks nothing, explains nothing, and carries quiet meaning. This ceramic baby urn is hand-formed in the shape of a heart and finished in a deep red glaze that holds its colour in any setting, indoors or outside in the garden.

Handmade ceramic, shaped with precision and patience

The urn is made in a specialist pottery studio where traditional craft is taken seriously. Forming ceramic by hand demands both precision and patience, and that shows in every piece. Each urn develops its own character during making: its own texture, its own surface quality, its own depth of glaze. No two are exactly alike. The red glaze is applied before firing, bonding colour and surface into one durable finish that holds up well both indoors and outdoors.

As personal as the bond you shared

Red here is not a generic choice. It is the colour of life, of strength, of unconditional love. If you are looking for something that speaks to who this child was rather than to a general idea of loss, the shape and colour of this urn for ashes carry that meaning quietly and directly. Because each piece is made by hand, there is also real flexibility in form, size and colour if you have something specific in mind.

Personalisation painted by hand

A name, a birth date, a small drawing or any other personal detail can be painted onto the urn by hand. This is not a finishing touch added to the product; it is the point of it. Personalisation is available on request and carries an additional cost. To discuss what you have in mind, please use the contact form and your wishes will be the starting point for the conversation.

Practical considerations for care and placement

Ceramic is a durable, weather-resistant material, but like any handmade object it benefits from thoughtful placement. For outdoor use, position the urn where it is sheltered from direct running water and protected from frost. This cremation urn is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. If you are unsure about the right location or how best to secure it, do get in touch for guidance.

Other materials and forms

If you are exploring other options, baby urns are also available in brass, wood and stainless steel, and it is possible to have a baby urn made to a bespoke design. Every child deserves a fitting memorial and a beautiful place to rest.
