For generations diyas have been gifted to family members, friends and loved ones as symbols of light, hope, warmth and good wishes. 

Today, they continue to be exchanged during festivals such as Diwali, housewarmings, weddings, celebrations and other meaningful occasions. For many people, a diya represents the sharing of light, positivity and connection with those they care about. 

Our remembrance diya has been created specifically with bereaved families in mind, offering a meaningful way to honour and remember a much-loved baby. However, like the diya itself, its symbolism extends beyond a single moment or occasion. 

Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to support someone after the death of a baby. Many people worry about saying the wrong thing, whilst others are unsure how to acknowledge a baby's life and the profound impact of their loss. Yet for many bereaved families, knowing that their baby is remembered can mean more than words can express. 

Whether gifted to a bereaved parent, grandparent, sibling, family member or friend, or given ahead of Wave of Light, Lights of Love, Diwali or another significant occasion, the diya offers a lasting symbol of love, remembrance and connection, and remains one of the most enduring symbols of light we can give to another person. 

Handmade by bereaved mother and ceramic artist Shaheda, each diya is designed to be treasured and returned to year after year. A gift not only of a beautiful, handcrafted keepsake, but of light, reflection and meaning.
