Heart shaped keepsake urn with birds | anthracite

A heart that holds, and lets go

Some objects say what words cannot. This brass keepsake urn is cast in the shape of a heart, with birds resting on its surface or rising from it. The image lands the moment you see it: the tension between holding on and letting go. That is precisely what grief feels like, and precisely what this urn carries.

Crafted in brass with an anthracite finish

This mini urn for ashes is made by local craftspeople working with brass and other carefully selected materials, all free from harmful substances. Brass is an alloy valued for its durability and its ability to hold fine detail crisply. The anthracite coloring is not a surface coat applied as an afterthought. It is worked into the finishing process, which gives the tone its evenness and staying power.

The birds on the heart are not decoration for its own sake. Across many cultures, a bird in flight represents the passage between this world and whatever lies beyond. For someone you loved, it can be exactly the right image: present, and then gone at the right moment.

Production with care for people and materials

Each urn in this range is produced with attention to both the people who make it and the environment in which it is made. No compromises are made on quality or finish. The result is an honest, considered object, made with real craft.

What to know about brass at home

Brass is a strong, stable material that asks very little of you indoors. This keepsake urn is designed for indoor use only, away from direct moisture. A dry cloth is all you need to keep the finish in good condition. Prolonged exposure to damp or condensation can cause brass to discolor, and on an anthracite finish this may appear as faint marking. Placing the urn on a dry, stable surface in a sheltered spot indoors prevents this entirely.

Caring for your urn indoors

Keep the urn away from direct moisture, condensation and humid environments such as bathrooms. Wipe with a dry or very lightly dampened cloth if needed. A stable surface is advisable, as brass has a reassuring solidity to it. With straightforward care in a dry indoor setting, the finish will remain consistent for years.

A place that belongs to both of you

If you are looking for something that gives the bond you shared a fixed, visible place in your home, this cremation urn is more than an object. A heart with birds on a shelf, a windowsill, or a quiet corner of a room you pass through every day. It simply stays.
