Embrace

After he died, my father was cremated and according to his wishes, the ashes were scattered at sea. At home, I have a lovely box with precious items on the cabinet. Until I came across Memories to Keep on Facebook, and their beautiful wooden mini urns. But what could I put in it, since there were no ashes anymore? Looking through the precious items, I found a lock of hair that had been cut off when he was very young and a tiny locket with a photo of my father at the age when the lock of hair had been cut off. And I knew right away! These were both going to go in the beautiful wooden urn. I ordered it from Memories to Keep and when it was delivered to my home, it was very emotional. Finally, I could keep something of my father close to me. I put just the lock of hair and the locket in the urn and it now stands on the cabinet in the living room. Sometimes I hold it in my hand and think back on the lovely times I had with my father. Harm, Memories to Keep, thank you for this beautiful urn in which the memories can be preserved forever.

I always found the idea of urns so uncomfortable, a bit creepy and on display. That was the reason for me to never want one in the house. I am happy to have found this beautiful little wooden urn. I can hold it for a while, it looks beautiful and no one can tell immediately that it is an urn. This way I can always keep my dear aunt close by. Thank you, Harm, worth a lot to me.

The Moon is quite a bit bigger than the LittleWood mini urn but it still has a format you can cuddle and hold easily. The urn has a soft finish and is inviting to the touch. The grain in the wood can be clearly seen. The urn is closed with a neat stainless-steel lid which is engraved. What makes it all very subtle is that there's a trim integrated in the edge which gives a lovely finish. What I personally like about the Moon is that it doesn't immediately look like an urn. That way, Mum can be with us without us being unable to move forward.
