A Lasting Tribute
Ceramic vessels handmade with your loved one’s ashes, crafted to be featured in your home.
Why People Choose Held
We believe that remembrance should live in the spaces where life continues: the shelf beside a favorite book, the table that friends gather around, the window that catches the morning light.
Each Held piece is handcrafted with a small portion of your loved one's ashes, transformed into a timeless ceramic design. The result is not an urn, but a living work of art and home decor that brings comfort, closeness, and beauty to your life, every day.
Designs for Every Space, Crafted with Heart.
Each Held product is made to live in your home as a piece of beautiful decor while holding deep personal meaning. Every piece is handcrafted in small batches, using natural glazes and timeless forms that balance elegance with intimacy.
What to Expect
Frequently asked questions
What is the return policy?
Because each piece is custom-made using your loved one’s ashes, all sales are final. However, your satisfaction and peace of mind are incredibly important to us.
If your piece arrives damaged or there is a flaw in the craftsmanship, we will gladly remake it at no additional cost. Please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order, and include photos so we can make it right.
We treat every order with care and intention and we’re here to ensure you feel the same care in the finished piece.
How much ash is needed for each piece?
We only need about a tablespoon of ash per piece. If you’re ordering multiple items, we can advise on the total amount needed. Any unused ashes can be returned to you upon request.
When will I get my order?
Customers will generally receive their finished product(s) within 4 weeks from when we receive the ashes. Because these pieces are hand made and we integrate ashes into each one, there can be delays. We will update you if that is the case with your purchase.
Where are your products manufactured?
Currently, all products are manufactured in Portland, Oregon by one of our ceramicists and then glazed and fired by the company founders, Matt & Craig. Each piece is treated with care through the process and is reflected in the end product.
What exactly is the process for incorporating ashes into the piece?
We carefully incorporate a small amount of your loved one’s ashes into the glaze that coats the ceramic. During firing, the ashes bond with the glaze, becoming a permanent part of the surface. Each piece is unique, a beautiful blend of artistry and memory.
