About Us

Form and Grace was born out of a deeply personal experience. When I lost a loved one, I received the ashes back from the funeral director in a standard plastic “brick,” handed over in a plastic bag.

It is confronting enough to receive ashes. It is the final step in a bewildering process, heavy with sorrow. To me, it seemed undignified and unceremonious.

I soon realised that many others go through the same experience. I felt that there had to be a better way. A way that offered peace and dignity.

I also had other personal items that I wanted to keep together: mementos, photographs, a watch. Small but significant reminders of a life lived. Yet I had nowhere beautiful or suitable to collect them.

With over 25 years in product design, I knew I could create something better. That was the beginning of Form and Grace.

Bringing together clean, contemporary design with made-for-purpose storage and display, our Memory Box for Ashes is crafted to bring dignity to the process of remembrance. I hope that, in some way, it makes your own journey a little more peaceful.
