Cremation Jewelry Holds More Than Ashes

Cremation jewelry was designed as a miniature cremation urn with a hollow chamber to hold a bit of ashes from a loved one's cremation

. The original idea was to allow one or more family members to keep a physical part of their loved one close at heart, regardless of how the rest of the cremated remains would be disposed of or how many family members wanted to share the ashes. The ash pendant could then be worn as an urn pendant or displayed beneath a jeweler's glass dome to create a personal memorial.

For any number of reasons, however, jewelry for ashes doesn't appeal to some people. Some are opposed to cremation in general, while others just don't like the idea of reserving cremated remains in the form of jewelry. Perhaps you belong to a church that prohibits the practice of cremation, or maybe your religion has strict rules about the disposition of ashes. Even so, cremation jewelry still affords an opportunity to honor your loved one in a unique and personal way.

cremation jewelry isn't just jewelry for ashes. The hollow chamber in every urn pendant can accommodate any small keepsake to remind you of your loved one. Following are some of the mementoes people choose to save in their cremation necklaces.

A Lock of Hair:

A lock of a loved one's hair is a special keepsake indeed. If you're a parent, you may have kept a snip of hair from your child's first haircut to remind you of the tiny baby you once held in your arms. And lovers throughout history have kept wisps of each other's hair to help them feel close when they were apart. The hair of fallen soldiers was fashioned into the memorial jewelry that was popular during the Civil War. Place a lock of your loved one's hair in your urn pendant for safekeeping.

Soil:

The time-honored practice of "paying respects" to a deceased loved one with regular visits to his or her grave is less common today, as fewer and fewer family members are centrally located in the home town. Whether you live near your loved one's burial place or far away, you can use your cremation jewelry to save a few grains of earth from the grave site.

Funeral Flowers:

The outpouring of sympathy following the death of a loved one often includes floral gifts in a variety of colors, species, and arrangements. Flowers are a fragrant reminder of the nature of life - rich, beautiful, and fleeting. By drying some of the flowers after the funeral, you can preserve their colorful beauty. Once the flowers are dry, you can crumble a pinch of the petals into the chamber of your cremation keepsake pendant.
