Stainless steel urn for ashes 'Heart'

A heart that holds what words cannot

The heart shape is one of the oldest symbols of love we have. As a cremation urn, it carries that meaning simply and honestly. This stainless steel urn is made in the Netherlands by specialist craftspeople, shaped into a form that speaks for itself wherever it is placed.

Stainless steel built for the long term

This urn for ashes is made from grade 316 stainless steel, a higher specification than the more common grade 304. Grade 316 offers superior resistance to corrosion, including in exposed outdoor settings, which makes it a sound choice whether the urn is kept inside the home or placed within an outdoor memorial. A brushed finish runs across the surface, catching light at slightly different angles and giving the steel a considered sheen. The heart can stand as a free-standing piece or be incorporated into a larger monument in stainless steel, glass or natural stone.

Crafted to order in the Netherlands

Each urn is made by hand by specialists based in the Netherlands, using high-quality materials throughout. Because of this, the lead time is four to six weeks from order. In practice it is often sooner, but that figure is given honestly so there are no surprises. If you need a more precise delivery estimate before ordering, the team can check the current position for you.

Filling and sealing the urn

Everything you need to fill and seal the urn is included in the box. The cremated remains can be placed directly inside without an ash bag if you prefer, or you can use the supplied ash bag. The seal is a high-bond double-sided closure tape rated for significant tensile force, making the urn genuinely airtight once closed. If you would rather leave the filling to the funeral director or crematorium, that is entirely possible. Should the urn ever need to be reopened, the manufacturer's technicians can assist.

Practical details worth knowing

This funeral urn is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and grade 316 stainless steel handles both environments well. It is compatible with or without an ash bag. A ten-year guarantee covers the urn, and there is a 30-day return window if you change your mind after receiving it. Custom designs are also possible: if you have a sketch, a photograph or a reference, the team can develop a bespoke model and provide a quote for your approval.

Laser engraving

Personalisation is available through laser engraving, applied directly to the surface of the urn. A computer-guided laser works with precision, and the engraved image can be rendered in greyscale or colour. The higher the resolution of the image file you supply, the sharper the result. When you place your order, you will be guided through the options and can upload your chosen image or text at that point.

The meaning behind the shape

A heart is one of the few symbols that needs no translation. It says, plainly, that someone was loved. Placed in a garden, on a shelf or set within a memorial, this urn holds that statement quietly and permanently. If you are drawn to the heart shape because it reflects something specific about the person you have lost, a name, a date or a short phrase engraved into the steel can make it entirely personal to both of you.
