Our Story

My Pebble Urn

My Pebble Urn is a compassionate business developed by specialist Bereavement Midwife, Eliza Strauss, who makes customised hand-made clay baby urns to hold a baby's ashes after cremation.

More recently, bereaved parents are responding to an increasing demand for meaningful and respectful memorialisation options, often seeking out thoughtful and sensitive ways to remember and honour their baby who has died.

With your guidance, Eliza makes personalised clay urns in the shape of heart or pebble, that foster connection between mothers, fathers and their babies during their difficult time of their loss.

Founder, Eliza Strauss

Hello. I am very sorry if you have experienced the loss of your baby.

It may give you a small amount of comfort to know that I am a Bereavement Midwife, and over the past 25 years, I have supported many bereaved parents and their families who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby either through miscarriage, stillbirth, newborn loss or when making the difficult decision to end a pregnancy.

In my role as a specialist Bereavement Midwife, I understand and appreciate how important it is for many parents to feel connected to their baby.

The story behind My Pebble Urn

Grief, like a pebble, is ever-changing.

It begins jagged and raw, shaped by the currents of time, slowly softening into something gentler, yet never disappearing.

At my pebble urn, we embrace this natural journey, creating handmade urns that reflect the evolving nature of love and loss. Inspired by the way water smooths rough edges, our beautifully crafted urns symbolise the enduring presence of those we hold dear — gently shaped by time but never forgotten.

Knowing that your baby's cremated remains are close-by, whether in one of our urns that can be kept in your pocket or bag, or any other personalised urn thoughtfully placed on a dedicated shelf or table in your home, are ways to feel close to you baby.

Each piece is a tribute to life’s journey, no matter how short, offering a sense of comfort and connection.

Thank you so much for the amazing custom urn you made for our much missed and precious little girl. We are so grateful for you making such a personalised final resting place for her. It is our way of keeping her with us.
