Companion urns for two persons - together forever
In the past, many couples and families chose a shared burial plot to remain together after passing. Today, more and more people prefer the idea of a companion urn. A beautiful and symbolic way for two loved ones to rest side by side.
Also known as family urns or double urns, companion urns are cremation urns designed to hold the ashes of two people, keeping their bond united even after death. For many, it is a comforting expression of everlasting love and togetherness.
Each of our companion urns is crafted with exceptional care and precision. The elegant design and fine detailing make these urns unique memorials that honour the lives and love of two people who meant the world to each other.
Choosing a companion urn
There are two main types of companion urns:
- Urns with two separate ash chambers, allowing both sets of ashes to be safely stored in one vessel.
- Matching urn sets, where two individual urns are designed to complement each other and form a harmonious whole.
Our collection includes companion urns in various materials, finishes, and artistic styles. From timeless bronze and polished marble to contemporary stainless steel and handcrafted ceramics. Whatever your preference, you will find a piece that reflects the personalities and the love story of those you wish to remember.
Companion urns suitable for outdoor placement
If you wish to place the urn outdoors for example, in a garden or memorial setting it is important to choose a material that can withstand the British climate, including frost, rain, and temperature changes.
Durable options include:
- Stainless steel, a premium, low-maintenance material that resists corrosion and weathering.
- Natural stone, such as granite, which is colourfast and easy to clean with a damp cloth.
- Bronze, known for its strength and elegant patina that only becomes richer over time.
These materials ensure that your companion urn remains beautiful and secure for many years, whatever the weather.
Companion urns with candleholders
Lighting a candle for a loved one is a tender and timeless ritual. It symbolises the connection between heaven and earth, warmth in times of loss, and light in moments of remembrance.
A companion urn with a candleholder brings this symbolism into the design itself, offering a serene place to light a flame on anniversaries, birthdays, or quiet evenings of reflection.
One remarkable example is our ceramic companion urn “Eternal Engagement”, which features a gentle candlelight holder. Each piece is hand-shaped by the artist with deep emotional intent, giving it a soft and soulful appearance. After drying, the urn is fired and finished with a subtle bronze glaze. Customisation is also possible, allowing you to adapt the urn to your personal wishes.
Heart-shaped companion urns
The heart is one of the most powerful and universal symbols of love. A heart-shaped companion urn beautifully expresses the enduring connection between two people. Our collection includes several heart shaped urns in different materials, such as ceramic, bronze, and stainless steel. The bronze heart companion urn is especially popular, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, combining timeless beauty with lasting strength.
