Ceramic funeral urn 'Silver heart'

A heart that stays

If you are looking for something that does more than hold ashes, something that reflects the person rather than simply containing them, it needs to be made with genuine care. The 'Silver heart' cremation urn is exactly that. Grey-glazed and shaped into a heart, it carries quiet meaning without demanding attention.

Craftsmanship you can see in the finished piece

Every 'Silver heart' begins as liquid clay poured into a plaster mould. Once the clay layer reaches the right thickness, the mould is emptied and the remaining shell is left to dry slowly and evenly. The mould is then removed by hand, and any seam lines are smoothed away before the piece goes into the kiln. Firing at over 1,000 degrees is what transforms raw clay into ceramic. The glaze is applied only after firing, and it is this final stage that gives the grey its depth and quiet character. This is not a production-line process. It is one that demands patience and technical skill, and that shows in every finished urn.

What the shape means

The heart form here is not decoration. It is a considered choice that speaks to the bond you shared, to what existed between you and what does not simply disappear. Grey is a colour of stillness rather than distance, and in this shade the heart sits naturally in a room without drawing the eye uncomfortably. It is present and considered.

Personalisation via an engraving plate

If you would like to personalise this funeral urn, an engraving plate can be added. It can carry a name, a date, or a line that held meaning for the two of you. Something that makes this urn recognisable as belonging to one specific life rather than any life. If you are not yet sure what to include, take your time with that decision. It is worth getting right.

Practical care and use indoors

The 'Silver heart' is designed for indoor use only. Ceramic is a robust material, but it is best placed on a stable, level surface away from busy areas of the room. The glaze protects the surface and makes cleaning straightforward: a dry cloth or one that is very slightly damp is all it needs. This urn for ashes is suitable for use with or without an ash bag. Do take care with placement, as ceramic can crack under a heavy impact, as it can with any quality ceramic product.

A choice that fits

If you are drawn to this urn, trust that. The combination of hand-crafted ceramic, a considered grey glaze and the option to add a personal inscription makes the 'Silver heart' an urn that does justice to who was there.
