Loving Heart Purple Brass Keepsake

Three and a half inches wide and the same tall, this brass heart is finished in a deep purple that covers the whole front face. The metal shows at the edges where the colour stops. Filling is done through a panel screwed to the back, so the front stays clear.

The chamber takes five cubic inches, a portion of ashes rather than a complete set for an adult. Purple is the colour asked for by name more than any other in this range, usually for a grandmother or an aunt. Square proportions mean it sits level on a shelf and does not lean.

• Back panel; unscrew it, fill with a funnel, then refit
• Equal width and height, so allow roughly a four-inch shelf footprint
• The same heart is made in pink, red, white and a lighter purple if you want a set
