keepsake candle urn 'Canon fusil'

A flame that keeps burning

Some objects hold more meaning than they let on. The 'Canon fusil' is a hexagonal tealight holder made from brass, with a sealed compartment beneath it that holds a small portion of ashes. Light a candle, and an everyday moment becomes something more considered.

Brass, carefully worked

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, valued for its solidity and its characteristic golden-copper lustre. The hexagonal form of this keepsake urn is not incidental. Straight edges and clean angles require real precision when working with metal, and the craftsmanship here is visible in the crispness of each face. Beneath the holder sits a fully enclosed compartment, keeping the ashes completely out of sight yet always present.

What this tealight can offer you

If you are looking for something that holds memory without drawing attention to itself as an urn, this design fits that need. You light a candle, the room fills with a soft glow, and the bond you shared with the person you have lost is quietly present. Others in the room may simply see a tealight holder. You will know what it holds. That is precisely where the meaning lies: remembrance woven into the ordinary.

Practical and reliable for everyday use

Brass is a durable material that holds its shape well and resists discolouration under normal indoor conditions. To keep the copper finish looking its best, store the urn in a dry spot and dust it lightly from time to time. Always use a standard tealight and never leave a burning candle unattended. The ashes are held in the sealed compartment at the base, which closes securely so nothing is disturbed during everyday handling. This mini urn for ashes is intended for indoor use only.

Finding the right place for it

The clean, defined shape of this cremation urn sits well on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a bedside table. Think about the spot in your home that already carries a sense of that person, and place it there. Each evening, lighting that one candle becomes a small, faithful ritual. Nothing dramatic, but something steady and yours.
