When you’re making afterlife plans for your loved one, the point of decision may come whether to have a burial or a cremation. If they opted for a cremation, then special arrangements need to be made for a proper vessel to contain their ashes. Most families would go for traditional urns. Although there are a lot of beautiful designs to choose from, ultimately only one choice will be made.
Another great option that you can consider are keepsake cremation urns. These are smaller than traditional urns, and are designed to allow families to divide the ashes of their loved ones and have them as “keepsakes”. This will give each member of the family an opportunity to personalize their keepsake based on their own personality, and also based on their relationship with that person.
There’s a wide array of designs to choose from, and you are not confined to traditional urn designs. There are keepsake urns that are useful, such as clock urns, picture frame urns, and desk urns. Another type would be the trinket or pendant type urns. One great idea would be to keep the ashes on cremation jewelries.
A great way of memorializing your loved one is to keep them close to your heart always. Cremation jewelries are elegantly fashioned, and can be worn in any occasion. These come in three varieties. The standard cremation jewelry is very basic. You can order this and put in the ashes by yourself using a small funnel.
You can also have your cremation jewelry custom made by an artist. You need to send in a small portion of the ashes to the artist, and he will use that during the creation process. Most businesses that offer cremation solutions would have this type of service.
The third option is to have your jewelry made from the ashes, and have them turned in to a diamond or a crystal. The ashes will undergo a process of transformation, and may take a few months before it’s returned to you. But the wait will be worth it.
No matter what type of keepsake urn you or your family chooses, the important thing is that the memory of your loved will always be with you wherever you are. Their legacy lives on, and their lives are immortalized in your hearts.
