Stainless steel funeral urn 'Oval heart'

Two hearts, one place to rest

Some losses are not one loss but two, two people who belonged together, now held together still. The 'Oval heart' cremation urn is designed for exactly that: a duo urn for two people whose lives were shared. Made from stainless steel, clean in form, and built to stand both indoors and outdoors, it holds that bond in something lasting.

Grade 316 stainless steel: built for the long term

Not all stainless steel performs the same. This urn for ashes is made from grade 316, an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel and carbon that resists corrosion significantly better than the more common grade 304. The brushed surface reflects light at varying angles, giving the urn a matte sheen that does not fade or dull over time. Grade 316 needs no protective coating and no special maintenance, and it holds up fully in outdoor conditions through all seasons.

Handmade in the Netherlands by specialist craftspeople

This urn is made by hand in the Netherlands using the best available materials. That level of craft takes time: the lead time is four to six weeks. Despatch is often possible sooner, but we quote six weeks to avoid disappointment. If you need to know the current lead time before ordering, contact us by chat or email and we'll give you an accurate estimate.

The connection you shared, made visible

The two oval hearts in the design are not decoration for its own sake. They say something specific: this is a urn for two. If you are choosing a way to honour a bond between two people, a duo urn carries a different kind of meaning than a single urn. You are not only choosing a resting place. You are choosing a permanent mark of a life that was lived together.

Laser engraving: your own image on the urn

Personalisation is available through laser engraving, applied directly to the stainless steel surface. A computer-guided laser engraves your chosen image with fine precision, rendered in greyscale or colour. The sharpness of the final result depends on the resolution of the file you supply: the clearer the image, the more detailed the engraving. After ordering, you will move through a simple selection menu where you choose your options and upload your image. A shared photograph, a date, or an image that meant something to both of them, any of these can work well.

Practical reassurance when it matters most

Choosing a cremation urn brings practical questions alongside the emotional ones. Here is what you need to know about this urn before deciding.

Durability and weather resistance

Grade 316 stainless steel does not rust and requires no protective treatment. It is fully suitable for outdoor placement in all weather conditions. The seal is airtight and resistant to high tensile stress, so the urn remains securely closed whether it stands on a shelf indoors or in a garden year-round.

Filling the urn

All accessories needed to fill and seal the urn are supplied with it. Ashes can be placed directly inside or within the included ash bag, whichever you prefer. If you may want to move the ashes to a different place in the future, using the ash bag keeps that option open. The inner sealing rim should be clean, dry and free of grease before closing: a cleaning cloth is included for this. If you would rather not fill the urn yourself, your funeral director or crematorium can do this for you. Should the urn ever need to be reopened for any reason, our technicians can assist.

Guarantee and returns

This urn carries a ten-year guarantee. If you receive it and have second thoughts, all memorial items come with a 30-day return period, so you can take the time you need.

Custom design

If you have something specific in mind that goes beyond the standard options, a custom design is possible. Send a sketch, a photograph or a reference, and a design will be drawn up for your approval before a quote is issued.

If you would like to discuss engraving options or talk through whether this urn is the right choice for the two people you have in mind, we are happy to help at your own pace, by chat, email or phone.
