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 cremation container, 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 there had to be a better way, one that offered greater 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 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.

Form and Grace brings together contemporary design with a practical place for ashes and the personal things that matter. I hope that, in some small way, it makes your own journey a little more peaceful.
