Infant urn for ashes 'Teardrop' - matt cream

A teardrop for love and loss

Choosing an infant urn for ashes is a step no parent would ever wish to take. Sometimes a simple shape can help express feelings for which words are not enough. This urn is shaped like a teardrop: a recognisable symbol of grief, but also of the deep love from which that grief comes.

The matt cream colour and flowing form give the urn a calm appearance. The teardrop can represent all that is missed, while also holding the memories that remain: a voice, a look, a small gesture or a moment known only to you. In this way, the form can take on a meaning that is entirely personal.

Carefully crafted ceramic

For this infant urn for ashes, carefully selected raw materials are worked into a smooth clay body. The clay is then poured into a mould, after which experienced craftspeople refine and finish each urn by hand. Particular attention is given to the rounded lines, surface and final form.

After shaping, the ceramic receives a refined finish that allows the matt cream colour and soft lines to come into their own. Small differences between pieces may occur as a result of the hand finishing. These subtle variations are part of the handcrafted process and give each urn its own character.

The meaning of the teardrop

A tear can often say more than words. It can express grief, but also love, longing and everything someone has meant to you. This is why the teardrop shape can carry such fitting symbolism after the loss of a child.

• the teardrop as a symbol of love, loss and remembrance;
• a matt cream colour with a calm, neutral appearance;
• flowing lines that keep the shape gentle and understated;
• careful hand refinement by experienced craftspeople.

Several shapes and colours are available within this collection, each with its own symbolism. This allows you to choose a design that reflects what you feel and the way you remember your child.

Caring for ceramic

Ceramic is strong, but it can be damaged by a hard knock or fall. Place the urn on a stable surface where it is unlikely to be knocked or tipped over.

A quiet place for what always remains

Teardrop gives space to grief, but also to the love behind it. Take the time to consider whether this form and matt cream colour feel right for your child and for the memorial place you wish to create.
