A Heart-Shaped Memorial for Someone You Love
The meaning of a heart is personal to the relationship you shared with your loved one. It may bring to mind a lifelong partner, the care of a parent, the bond between family members or the companionship of a beloved pet.
If you are remembering a mother, grandmother, sister or another important woman in your life, you can also explore our cremation urns for women and mothers. For a baby or child, our collection of infant and children cremation urns includes memorials created specifically for smaller capacities and young lives.
From a Single Urn to Keepsake Hearts
Some families choose one full-size heart urn for their loved one’s ashes, while others select smaller heart keepsake urns so that more than one family member can keep a portion close. A keepsake heart can be displayed on a stand, placed with photographs or other meaningful objects, or kept somewhere more private.
Heart-shaped keepsakes can also be used for animal ashes. Paw-print hearts and other small designs offer a personal option for remembering a dog, cat or other companion. You can find additional sizes and styles in our pet keepsake urns.
Choosing a Style That Brings Them to Mind
Heart urns can be understated or highly decorative. Smooth metal finishes offer a simpler look, while floral patterns, butterflies, trees, religious symbols and other details can reflect something more specific about the person you are remembering.
If you are drawn to color and detailed artistry, you may also want to explore our cloisonne cremation urns or stained glass cremation urns and keepsakes. These offer a different way to choose a memorial around color, craftsmanship and decorative detail.
The right choice does not have to represent everything about a life. Sometimes a familiar symbol, a favorite color or a small personalized detail is enough to make a memorial feel connected to the person or pet you remember.
If you want to see more possibilities, our full collection of cremation urns for sale brings together memorials in many materials, colors and designs.
FAQs
What is a heart keepsake urn?
A heart keepsake urn is a smaller heart-shaped cremation urn designed to hold a portion of ashes rather than necessarily holding all of the cremated remains. Many heart keepsake urns in this collection hold approximately 3 cubic inches, although capacities vary by design. They are often chosen for sharing ashes among family members or for keeping a smaller amount of ashes in a personal memorial.
What size heart urn do I need?
It depends on how much of the ashes you plan to keep in the urn. Heart urns are available in several capacities, including small keepsake sizes, intermediate sizes for infants or pets, and full-size cremation urns for adults. Always check the listed capacity on the individual product before choosing your urn.
Can a heart-shaped urn hold all of an adult's ashes?
Yes, some can. Full-size heart cremation urns may hold around 200 cubic inches and are designed to accommodate the ashes of many adults. However, many heart-shaped urns are keepsakes that hold only a small portion of ashes, so it is important to check the capacity rather than choosing by appearance alone.
Can heart urns be used for pet ashes?
Yes. Heart-shaped urns can be used for either human or pet ashes as long as the capacity is appropriate. This collection includes heart and paw-print designs specifically suited to pet memorials, including smaller keepsake sizes and larger options for pets.
Do heart keepsake urns come with a stand?
Many heart keepsake urns are designed to be displayed upright on a stand. Whether a stand is included or available separately depends on the individual design, so check the product details before ordering. Heart urn stands are also available for select keepsakes.
Can heart-shaped urns be engraved?
Many heart urns and keepsakes can be personalized with engraving, including a name, dates or a short memorial message. Engraving availability and the amount of text that can be added vary by product, so look for the personalization options on the individual urn.
