Honouring Tiny Lives with Love

There are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing a baby. As parents, the hopes and dreams you carried for your little one are irreplaceable, and when a life ends too soon, the grief can feel both infinite and isolating. At our core, we believe every life—no matter how brief—deserves to be honoured with tenderness and beauty. Our handcrafted ceramic urns are created with that spirit of care: as a sacred place to hold your baby’s ashes, and as a gentle tribute to the love that remains.

A Place for Memories

Each urn we create is made by hand, with compassion and reverence for the tiny life it honours. No two pieces are the same, just as no two children are. Our designs are soft, peaceful, and timeless—meant to blend into your space as a quiet source of comfort. Whether you choose to keep the urn in a private spot or display it in your home, it can serve as a place for reflection, for love, and for remembering.

We understand that grief doesn’t look the same for every family. For some, creating a memorial is part of the healing process. For others, it may come later, when the shock has settled into sorrow. There is no "right" time or way to remember your baby—only what feels right to you.

Helping Siblings Understand and Cope

Grieving the loss of a baby affects the entire family, including surviving siblings. Children process loss differently at every age, and their understanding of death is shaped by their developmental stage, personality, and the way adults around them respond.

Here are a few ways to support siblings through the grieving process:

1. Use Honest, Age-Appropriate Language
Avoid euphemisms like “went to sleep” or “gone away,” which can be confusing or frightening. Instead, use clear and gentle language. For example: “The baby died. That means they won’t be coming home, and we’re very sad about that.”

2. Encourage Expression
Invite your child to talk, ask questions, or express themselves through drawing or play. Their feelings might come out in unexpected ways—anger, silence, or regressions in behavior. These are all natural parts of grieving.

3. Include Them in Remembrance
If your child wants to, they can help in simple ways—perhaps choosing the available image for the urn, placing flowers nearby, or drawing a picture for their sibling. These small acts can help them feel included and connected.

4. Reassure Them
Children sometimes blame themselves or worry something bad will happen again. Reassure them that they are safe, loved, and not responsible for the loss.

5. Create a Memory Ritual Together
Lighting a candle, planting a tree, or reading a story can be powerful ways to honour the baby as a family. Having a special place, like a shelf with the urn and meaningful objects, can help siblings understand that it's okay to remember and talk about their baby brother or sister.

You Are Not Alone

Grieving a baby is a journey no parent ever imagines taking. Our hope is to offer not just a physical memorial, but also a sense of support and shared humanity. The pain of loss is real, but so is the enduring love you carry. Through each urn we create, we aim to honour that love.

If you're navigating this difficult path, we see you. We honour your grief, your memories, and your family. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or need guidance choosing a design, or if you have something else in mind of a different design we will be happy to help.
