These somber scents of clay, stone, and stillness are inspired by the feast of All Souls' Day, observed on November 2.
Nuanced with notes of ozone, earth, and moss.
Behind the Inspiration
"Memento mori" is Latin for "Remember death," sometimes also translated as "Remember you will die." This is a solemn reminder that one day we will stand in judgment for what we did and who we became. The scents of clay, stone, and stillness call to mind our burial and our waiting for Christ's return to raise the living and the dead.
Memento Mori is also a joyful reminder of the promise of the life to come: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (Jn 3:16).
And finally, it is motivating, because keeping death before our eyes helps us strive to live a full and virtuous life while we can.

Each candle is handcrafted with CORDA's proprietary coconut wax blend, custom phthalate-free fragrances blended in-house, and a cotton and paper wick primed with all-natural wax. Learn more about the ingredients here.
You’ll get the cleanest, longest, and safest burn from your candle with a few simple steps:
- Always trim the wick before lighting to 1/8”–1/4”
- Burn until the melted wax reaches edge to edge, or very nearly, to reduce tunneling
- Burn only up to 4 hours at a time
- Always keep a burning candle in sight, away from flammable materials, out of drafts, out of reach of pets and children, and on a heat-safe surface
- Keep out of direct sunlight

Laura Cavazos This lovely and special candle was a gift to my mother whose sister, my aunt, recently died. The candle was so wonderful as an enhancement to her dia de los muertos memorial for which she decorates and remembers all who have passed on. The lovely scent and candle was a true enhancement. It will continue to burn throughout the month of November. Thank you for your deeply meaningful work of making and providing these candles!
