Sculpture funeral urn 'With heart and soul'

Present as art, personal as memory

Not everyone wants an urn that announces itself. If a mantelpiece or shelf feels like the right place for remembrance, but a traditional urn feels too conspicuous, this ash sculpture may be exactly what you are looking for.

Developed with artists, at the request of families

This piece did not begin at a drawing board. After repeated requests from people who wanted something other than a recognisable urn in their home, 'With heart and soul' was developed in collaboration with a group of established artists. The result is a sculpture cast in tin alloy with a bronzed finish. The material takes on the depth and richness of bronze without the weight of it. The base is hollow and holds a symbolic amount of ashes, sealed with a screw cap that is supplied with the sculpture.

Tin alloy demands precision in casting and finishing, and the bronzed surface is applied with care at every stage. You see that in the quality of the piece when you hold it.

A sculpture that carries meaning quietly

To a visitor, this is a beautiful object in the room. To you, it is something that reflects the bond you shared, in a way that you choose. That distinction can matter a great deal in how you live alongside a memory every day. This keepsake urn sits in plain sight without drawing attention to what it holds, which is often exactly what people need.

Symbolism that works on your terms

The title 'With heart and soul' is not a decorative label. It is an invitation to decide for yourself what this sculpture means: the essence of who your loved one was, a connection that continues. If you are looking for a way to give that memory a permanent place in your home, but one that does not feel like grief on display, this piece meets that need precisely.

Personalisation is available if you would like to add something specific. Get in touch to discuss what that might look like.

Practical information and care

The tin alloy is suitable for indoor use and requires no special maintenance. The bronzed surface is not sensitive to the levels of humidity typically found indoors, so no protective treatment is needed. The ashes are held securely inside the hollow base and are not visible from the outside. The screw cap closes the base cleanly and can be sealed with adhesive if you prefer a permanent closure. This is a cremation urn designed for a symbolic portion of ashes rather than the full volume, making it well suited as a companion piece or a way of keeping a presence close in a particular room.
