Loving Heart Red Brass Keepsake

Behind the red face of this brass heart is a small panel held by screws, which is how it fills. The red is deep and slightly warm against the brass at the edge, and the piece stands three and a half inches tall. Nothing interrupts the front of it.

Four cubic inches is the capacity, a portion rather than a full set of ashes. Red gets chosen for a spouse more than for anyone else, and this is often bought in a pair so that two households can each keep a share while the rest is buried or scattered.

• Four cubic inches; buy two if a share is going to more than one home
• Screwed back panel, so the urn can be opened again years from now
• Keep the coloured face away from polish and solvents; a dry cloth is enough
