Our Ashes/Pocket Memorial Bear offers a deeply personal and meaningful way to honour the memory of your loved one. Crafted with compassion, it serves as a source of comfort and solace for those navigating the journey of grief and bereavement. Featuring a unique design with an inner pocket, this bear allows you to keep a small amount of cremation ashes or other cherished mementos close to your heart, nestled within the bear itself.
We understand the profound pain of losing someone special, which is why our memorial bear is meticulously crafted to help you cherish the beautiful memories shared with your loved one. Serving as a gentle reminder of their presence, this bear will always hold a special place in your heart.
Key features of our memorial bear include:
- Size: Approximately 32cm in height.
- Clothing Requirements: We recommend a minimum of 7-8 items of baby clothing for each bear. If these are mostly newborn sizes, we suggest adding a couple of extras. While 1 item of adult clothing can be used, we recommend 2 items for optimal results if possible.
- Resizing Items: If you plan to have items resized (e.g., cardigans or jumpers), please send one per keepsake. Please note that we cannot change items into something different. For example, if you would like a resized hoodie, please send a hoodie, not a sweatshirt. Additionally, if you desire the bear to appear to be wearing specific items such as shirts/blouses or trousers, please ensure to send one of each item per bear. For flat caps, you will need to supply fabric or a flat cap to be resized.
- Machine Embroidery: Each bear includes machine embroidery on one footpad, typically featuring a name and dates.
- Dust Bag: A complimentary dust bag is included for safekeeping.
- Stuffing: All our bears and animals are stuffed with 100% natural British sheep's wool.
- Variation: Please be aware that there may be variations in the finished keepsakes depending on the clothing received. We encourage you to review our photos to see examples of these variations.
- Order Process: Once your order is placed, you will receive an email with all the details for sending us your clothing.
