Moon

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.

When I saw the urns in a magazine, I loved them immediately. I'm mad about beautiful wood and I found other urns too cold; this was the one for my girls. The small version was too small but luckily, you have a larger version and that's what we ordered. We were sent a photo with 6 urns to choose from - really nice! We were quickly in agreement and the urn arrived the next day already. In a lovely box, with logo, a nice little pouch, an Allen key and the beautiful urn with a hand-written card. The urn was easy to open and we put the little pouches with the ashes into it but unfortunately they didn't fit through the opening so we had to empty the pouches a bit. My husband did that because I found it too difficult. We screwed it shut together and the urn is now standing on the table next to me. I pick it up regularly, it feels nice and warm and it makes me feel calm.

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.
