Cremation urn gravestone 'Heart'

A heart that stays

Choosing a memorial for someone you loved is one of the hardest decisions you will make. You want something that reflects who they were, that will endure through the seasons, and that feels genuinely present in the place where you remember them. This recumbent heart-shaped monument in granite offers exactly that: a clear, powerful form built to last.

Granite: a material shaped over millions of years

Granite is one of the hardest natural stones on earth. Quarried from deep within the earth's crust, it has an exceptional density and a natural resistance to the elements that few other materials can match. Every piece carries its own colour pattern, formed by millions of years of geological pressure, which means no two monuments are identical. This cremation urn monument is available in several granite colours, so you can choose the shade that best suits your wishes or the character of the location.

A shape that means something

The heart is not an incidental choice. It is the most direct expression of the bond you shared with the person you are remembering. Giving that connection a fixed, physical form is what a memorial like this does well. The recumbent design sits quietly within a cemetery or memorial garden, present and considered, without dominating its surroundings.

Personalisation: your words carved in stone

Engraving can be added to this monument. A name, a date, a line from a poem you both knew, or a phrase that captured the person exactly as they were. If you have something specific in mind, we are happy to discuss it with you.

Practical guidance before you order

Granite is robust, but correct installation matters. A memorial that shifts or sinks over time is a problem that is far easier to prevent than to correct. Before ordering this urn for ashes, it is worth speaking with your cemetery manager or local authority to understand what is permitted on site. Some cemeteries specify permitted dimensions, materials and forms, and certain sites require installation to be carried out by a local stonemason. Taking a few minutes to check this in advance will save difficulty later.

Installation and placement

For cemetery installation, any concrete base slab and pile foundation beneath the monument should be put in place by the cemetery itself. If you are placing this memorial in a private garden, our plastic urn vault is an option worth considering; it is straightforward to install yourself. Custom dimensions are also possible if the standard size does not suit your requirements.

Approval before production

Once you have placed your order, we will send you a proof to review before anything is made. This gives you the chance to check every detail carefully and confirm that everything is exactly as you intend it to be.
