This ash necklace is small enough that it doesn't feel heavy or obvious under a shirt. I emailed vida memorials support twice with questions before ordering and got a real reply both times, not automated. Little things like that matter more than people realize when you're already exhausted from everything else. Thanks team
Small, well made, arrived on time. Our little golden retriever Felix deserved something nice and this was it.
I compared this to two other sites before ordering and honestly the photos here were more accurate to what actually arrived, which I appreciated after being burned once before by a different company. Ivory finish is warm, not stark. Would order again without hesitating.
Good, honest craftsmanship. My father would have appreciated that more than anything flashy.
My dad spent most of his life near the water, so the color felt right the second I saw it online. It's smaller than I pictured from the photos but that's probably on me for not checking the measurements properly. It sits on the bookshelf in his old study now. The packaging was solid, nothing rattled around.
Exactly as described. No complaints.
Ordering process was easy and the confirmation emails kept me updated the whole way, which I appreciated given how anxious I was about the whole thing. The urn itself is lovely, purple is richer in person than the photos suggest. My only small gripe is the lid fit is a touch loose. Its not unsafe but isnt as snug as I'd like for something this important. Still glad I chose it.
I want to write this properly because I read a lot of reviews before I bought anything and the honest, detailed ones were the most useful to me, so I'm trying to pay that forward. My mother was Catholic her entire life, went to mass every single Sunday so when she passed there wasn't really a debate about whether we wanted something with religious meaning. This urn is carved beautifully, the angel figure has real detail to it, not the flat stamped look some cheaper wooden urns have where it's more of a sticker than a carving. The mentioned rosewood is a rich color, darker than I expected from the photos but I actually prefer it. It took about two weeks to arrive which was longer than some of the aluminum ones I looked at, but it's handmade so that tracks, and they did email to let me know it was on its way with a estimated date, which meant I wasn't left wondering. Would recommend to anyone wanting something with real weight to it.
My husband passed in November after a long illness, so in some ways I had time to prepare, and in other ways nothing prepares you for actually doing it. I sat with the decision for almost three weeks before ordering, but for some reason kept coming back to this one because the blue reminded me of a lake we used to visit every summer for thirty odd years. When it arrived I sat with it on the kitchen table for a while before I could even open the box properly. The urn itself is solid, the kind of thing that feels like it will actually last, which mattered to me more than I expected it would. I've recommended this site to two friends since, for what it's worth.
My dad trained horses his whole working life. This was the only urn out of everything I looked at that actually made sense for him instead of just looking nice. My brother cried when he saw it. Thanks team
Perfect size for our little guy. Thank you
Beautiful piece, genuinely the detail on the wings is better than I expected for the price. Taking a star off only because it took three weeks to arrive, and I was a bit anxious waiting on it. Once it did arrive though I had no complaints at all.
We lost our dog Milo very suddenly, no warning, just gone one morning after fourteen good years, and I think the shock of it made the whole process of finding an urn feel unreal, like I was shopping for someone else's dog. I looked at probably fifteen different sites over two days. This one stood out because it didn't feel clinical, the ivory color is genuinely soft looking, not sterile like a lot of the pet urns out there which honestly all start to look like storage containers after a while. It arrived four days later, well packaged, and sits on our mantle now next to his collar. I know it's just an object but it helped, having something that actually looked like it was made with some care.
I bought this brass purple urn for my mother. She loved purple her whole life so it wasn't a hard decision to make. The brass is definitely nicer in person than in the photos, it has a real weight to it. Only thing I'd say is the lid was a little stiff to open at first, but it loosened up after a few tries.
Bought this for my grandfather. It's everything we hoped it would be.
Second time ordering from the Vida Memorials team, first was a keepsake urn for a friend's mother last year. I had the same experience both times, straightforward, no upselling nonsense, just what you actually need. The green marbling on this teardrop urn is subtle, not gaudy.
Bought this for myself, if that makes sense. I'm 68 and wanted to get my own affairs sorted rather than leave it for my kids to figure out. It's sitting in a drawer for now. Good quality, glad I did this early.
green was my sister's favorite color and this matched what I had in my head. it's been three months now and I still can't really write much about it beyond that it's exactly where I wanted it to be, on the mantel next to her wedding photo. thank you
This is actually my second order, first was for my father-in-law 4 months back with a different urn from here, and I came back without even shopping around because I already knew what to expect. Consistent quality matters a lot for this kind of purchase.
Gold detailing on this is nicer than most brass urns I looked at elsewhere, it doesn't look cheap or plated thin. Didn't have any issues with the order at all, showed up when they said it would, and the box was in good shape.
Solid wood, some real weight to it, doesnt have that hollow feel some of the resin ones have. My father was a deacon at our church for almost 30 years so the cross felt right rather than something that wasn't really about him. The carving is deeper and cleaner than I expected from photos.
Stunning. Just stunning.
My sister found this one after I'd basically given up looking, sent me the link at midnight with no explanation, just "this one." She was right. Arrived well within the estimate too.
I ordered this for my husband of 41 years and put off choosing for weeks because none of the ones I'd seen elsewhere felt like him. This one did in the end. It's heavier than I expected in a good way because it feels substantial, and not hollow. Arrived well within the timeframe they gave me.
Simple, beautiful and arrived quickly.
Ordered for my wife. Rosewood has a nice smell to it even now, which I wasn't expecting anyone to mention but it's true.
I messaged asking a question about capacity before I ordered and got a proper answer back within the day. Made me trust the rest of the process. The urn arrived well packed, double boxed, nothing shifted around inside.
