24" Amazing Grace Urn Memorial Wind Chime

The notes of Amazing Grace and a keepsake urn offer solace to the grieving. A touching tribute for a beloved family member, friend or pet, the underside of the wooden chime top houses a cast metal urn for ashes, a lock of hair, a poem or other sentimental keepsake, placed safely out of sight. This wind chime plays the familiar tones heard in the opening measures of Amazing Grace, one of America's best loved hymns and its message of hope and redemption is a wonderful way to celebrate relationships - every time the wind blows the wind chime rings in fond remembrance.

The lyrics were written by Englishman John Newton in the late 18th century. As a young man on board a merchant ship, Newton underwent a spiritual awakening while caught in a deadly storm at sea. This was the beginning of a journey that would lead the one-time slave trader to become a vocal abolitionist and transform a man without conviction into one of unshakable faith. It has played an important role in drug and alcohol recovery, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and 9/11. Newton's message of hope and redemption from over 200 years ago resonates with the same power today in our Amazing Grace Chime.
