A hug that's still here
Something to hold
onto again.
A soft, weighted teddy bear that quietly holds a loved one's ashes inside — filled to feel like a real hug, so you can wrap your arms around something with presence again.
Who they're held by
For the one who slept at your feet
Weighted to their birth weight
A gentler keepsake to hold
The weighted fill
Weighted to hold like a hug.
Each bear is filled by hand to a weight you choose — so it holds with real presence, not like an empty toy. Many people pick a weight that feels like the one they're holding again.

It's made to be held. Everyday hugs are exactly what it's for.

I didn't expect to cry holding it. But I did, and it helped — it has a weight, like he did.
In their words
Held — and it helped.
I didn't expect to cry holding it. But I did, and it helped — it has a weight, like he did.
It sits on the bed where she used to. The house feels a little less empty with something to hold.
We had it made to her birth weight. Some evenings I just hold it, and that's enough.
Gentle answers
Questions, answered softly.
How do I send in the ashes?
After checkout, we email a simple, gentle guide and a prepaid kit. You send a small portion — about a tablespoon — and we seal it into the bear's inner chamber by hand.
How much ash do you need?
Only a small portion. You keep the rest. Many families divide ashes across a few keepsakes.
What if I don't have the ashes yet?
That's okay. Order whenever you're ready and send ashes later — there's no time limit, and no pressure.
What is the bear made of?
Soft oatmeal plush with a sealed, secure inner chamber. Made to be held every day.
How long does it take?
Each bear is made to order, usually about 2–3 weeks. We'll keep you gently updated.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Many bears are gifts. We can ship directly, wrapped with care, with a handwritten note.
A note from us
We started stillhug for a simple, hard reason: when someone you love is gone, you're often left holding a jar. A cold thing on a shelf.
We wanted something you could actually hold. So we made a bear with weight — filled to feel like a real hug — that quietly keeps a loved one close.
Whatever brought you here, we're so sorry. Take your time. We'll be here, and a real person is always a message away.
— the stillhug team
A hold that doesn't let go
Something to hold onto again.
When you're ready, we'll make one for you — gently, by hand, weighted to hold like a hug.
