Vase

An urn for my father's ashes: I had been looking for one for a while but couldn't find anything suitable. They were all too ‘urny’. Too emotionally charged. I wanted something that was right for my father, for the person he was. My father had a love of wood, was also always working with it. So it had to be a wooden urn. I came across Memories to Keep and fell in love immediately. I order the Moon, but it turned out to be too big. I got in touch with Harm who responded quickly; I could take the Moon back and exchange it for another urn. My father's partner and I went to Harm's and he took time out to explain things. We both chose a lovely LittleWood, different but the same too. What I really like and find special is that you can hold the urn in your hand for a while. And that doesn't feel strange; the shape makes it feel soft and natural. It doesn't bring my father back but it is a lovely way of commemorating him. I'm very happy with it and grateful to Harm for this beautiful product and his friendliness when we were choosing it.

Beautiful!! Perfectly finished, beautifully packaged and delivered quickly. I am very happy with it. The urn with some of my wife's ashes and a lock of her hair stands next to her picture in the bedroom.

When I saw the beautiful wooden urns on the website, I chose the Shadow. I knew straight away that I wanted to use it to preserve the memory of my father in, 12 years after his passing. Since my father's ashes had been scattered at sea in accordance with his wishes, I went to the memorial box I had made and 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 as a child. I put them in the lovely urn and it's now in the living room next to his photo. It's so nice to have a memory so close by; you can hold the urn any time you want and it feels warm to the touch. Thank you for this beautiful work, made with love and for the memories which now have a nice place.
