Loving Heart Brass Keepsake

Flat is the distinguishing thing here: three inches across but only five-eighths of an inch deep, so this heart lies almost level rather than standing up like the taller keepsakes. Plain brass throughout, with a back opening. It can be laid in a drawer or a memory box without rolling.

Five cubic inches goes inside, a portion of the ashes rather than the full set. The low profile is the reason to choose it: it fits a columbarium niche with limited depth, a bedside drawer, or a keepsake box alongside photographs and letters.

• Five-eighths of an inch deep, so measure your niche or shelf before ordering
• Back opening with screws, which means it can be refilled or reopened later
• Lies flat in a memory chest without needing a stand or a fitted liner
