Consolation mini urn 'Heart'

A place to hold someone you never stop loving

When a child loses someone, they need something they can hold, something that belongs to them. This small ceramic heart gives them exactly that: a keepsake urn for a portion of ashes, and a lasting connection to the person they have lost.

Hand-modelled by an artist with over 40 years of experience

The Consolation collection is rooted in the ceramic work of a Dutch artist who has worked with this material for more than four decades. Each mini urn for ashes is hand-modelled from high-quality clay and made to order. During firing, the bronze colour bonds permanently to the ceramic, creating a depth of tone that does not fade. No two pieces are identical, and that is something you notice when you hold one.

An object that looks like art, not like an urn

The heart shape and considered design mean this keepsake urn is not immediately recognisable as a place for ashes. It sits on a shelf or windowsill as a piece of ceramic art, as a heart, as a memory. A child does not need to explain what it is. It simply holds meaning.

What this urn means to the person who keeps it

If you are looking for something that gives a child a tangible point of connection in their grief, this is it. Not because it is large, but because it is theirs. The bond you shared with the person who has died lives on in this small object that a child can choose themselves, place themselves and keep with them. That sense of ownership matters.

The heart as symbol

A heart is the most straightforward expression of love there is. For a child who has lost a parent, a grandparent or someone close, this is not abstract. It is the shape that says: here was love. This cremation urn can grow in meaning alongside a child, even before they have the words to explain what they feel.

Practical considerations for ceramic outdoors

This mini urn for ashes is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Ceramic is naturally resistant to moisture when the surface is intact, but for outdoor placement it is worth choosing a sheltered spot. Prolonged exposure to frost carries a risk: if moisture works into small surface imperfections and then freezes, it can cause cracking over time. Indoors, this urn sits without any such limitation and will remain in excellent condition.

Made to order, chosen by you

Every piece in the Consolation collection is made once you place your order. That means the urn you receive has been formed and fired specifically for you. You choose the model and decoration that best reflects the person you are remembering. If you would like to add a personal detail, personalisation options can be discussed at the time of ordering.
