Ceramic duo/companion funeral urn 'Hidden Love'

Two lives, one piece

When two people have spent a lifetime together, a shared urn feels less like a compromise and more like the only choice that makes sense. The 'Hidden Love' is a ceramic companion funeral urn that brings two people together in a single, carefully crafted object, hand-modelled by an artist with more than 40 years of experience in the craft.

Hand-modelled ceramic with a bronze finish

Each urn is modelled by hand from high-quality clay. During the firing process, a liquid layer of bronze is applied and bonded directly to the ceramic surface, creating the deep, rich colour you see in the finished piece. From the first shaping to the completed urn, the process takes around four weeks. That reflects the nature of the craft itself. Clay demands time, attention and experience, and you can see that in every piece.

Symbolism that sits quietly

The name 'Hidden Love' is deliberate. The form is not immediately recognisable as an urn for ashes. It reads more naturally as an art object, something you might place in a home and simply find beautiful. That is exactly the intention. The love the two people shared is present in the piece, but it does not call attention to itself. For those who know what it holds, it says everything. For those who do not, it is simply something worth looking at. If you would like names, a date or a short phrase on the urn, text engraving is available as an option.

Practical and lasting

Ceramic combines solidity with genuine presence as a material. Because this cremation urn is hand-modelled, no two pieces are exactly alike. Each one carries its own slight variation in form and colour gradation, which is part of what makes it distinct.

Placing the urn outdoors: what to consider

Fired ceramic is weather-resistant and well suited to outdoor placement. One consideration worth knowing: in hard winter conditions, moisture that penetrates the surface can freeze and expand, which may cause fine cracks over time. During periods of heavy frost, bringing the urn inside or choosing a sheltered spot will protect it. For indoor placement, none of this applies and no particular care is needed beyond the ordinary.

A choice you make together

Because each urn is made to order, there is room to shape it around what you need. If you would like to discuss engraving options or talk through how personalisation might work for you, we are happy to take the time. You will end up with something that genuinely reflects the bond the two of you shared.
