Cremation Keepsakes & Jewellery
Once a loved one’s ashes are returned to you, you may wonder what to do with them. How best to honor your special person? If you’d like to formally lay a loved one’s ashes to rest, a cremation cemetery option—such as a niche, columbarium or urn burial—may be your choice. Or you may prefer to scatter the ashes in a place of personal significance. More adventurous tributes include burying ashes at sea or sending ashes into space.
Cremation jewellery
For families who choose cremation, there are many funeral keepsake options. From small keepsake urns and containers to special jewellery pieces, like an urn necklace or bracelet, that hold a portion of your loved one’s ashes. Both can be personalized to reflect your loved one’s personality, hobbies or pastimes.
Like small keepsake urns, cremation jewellery is perfect for an individual or a group to remember a special relationship. It allows for multiple people to retain a small amount of ashes in a charm. A timeless piece of jewellery can be worn and loved for generations to come.
Charm options that can hold ashes
Charms come in many shapes and sizes. Families can choose from shapes like a heart, cross, black and silver capsule, key, or dog tag. Life Stories® medallions can also hold your loved one’s ashes. These small remembrances can reflect faith, service to country, a relationship, a special phrase or quote, or they can feature a gem in black, blue, crystal, purple or red.
Cremation jewellery materials
Both cross and heart cremation jewellery are available in 14K gold as well as sterling silver options. The black and silver capsule and dog tag come in stainless steel, while the key is available in sterling silver. All of the Life Stories medallions are sterling silver.
Once you choose your desired remembrance piece, you may also want to add special beads or charms that represent your loved one or the relationship you had with them. For example, you can combine a sterling silver cross charm holding ashes with a medallion that represents the armed forces, and special beads that represent the love you shared. Or, if your wife loved traveling, you may choose to gift a bracelet to your children with an airplane charm and a heart holding your wife’s ashes.
Whether it’s a necklace or a charm bracelet, you can carry the love and memories with you to keep the memory of your loved one close by.
