When you are mourning the death of a loved one, it may seem that your world has collapsed around you. You understand that nothing will bring your loved one back, and you know that healing takes time, but you yearn for comfort and peace. Others who have been through a loss like yours have shared similar feelings, and many of them have found comfort in cremation jewelry.
Ash pendants and memorial keepsakes bring a special kind of comfort by establishing a tangible connection to your loved one. Each urn pendant is designed to hold a small amount of your loved one's ashes or a snip of his hair.
Filled with the keepsake of your choice, your cremation jewelry can be worn close to your heart, an eternal touchstone to remind you of your loved one. If you view cremation jewelry as something that is strictly personal, you can wear your keepsake pendant discreetly; many cremation jewelry designs are simple enough to be under clothing, where it remains a treasured secret you don't share with anyone else.
Keep in mind, however, that cremation jewelry today comes in a vast array of designs, many of which can be worn as a beautiful accessory. Because the contents are seldom visible, however, you can still choose when and with whom you share the story of your cremation jewelry. In any case, your urn pendant is a magnificent tribute to your loved one, whether you wear it secretly or share it with others. You can reveal as much or as little as you wish about the treasured memorial pendant you wear around your neck.
You can also share cremation jewelry in another way. Because each ash pendant holds only a tiny amount of ashes, you don't have to choose one family member to serve as the keeper of your loved one's cremated remains. With cremation jewelry, several family members can have their own cremation jewelry and take comfort in keeping a physical connection to their loved one close at all times.
But what if you have personal or religious objections to wearing an urn pendant containing a loved one's cremains or hair? You can still enjoy the comfort cremation jewelry brings by filling your cremation necklace with a pinch of dried funeral flowers or soil from the cemetery where your loved one is buried. You can also create a permanent memorial to your loved one by filling your cremation jewelry with the keepsake of your choice and then placing it beneath a glass dome or in a jeweler's presentation case and display it under soft lighting in a place of honor.
