Keepsakes & Jewellery

If perhaps you plan to bury the ashes then it is a good idea to retain a small amount of the ashes in a keepsake or in an item of Jewellery. Keepsakes are also an idea if you plan to split the ashes between the children/ other relatives of the deceased.

Keepsakes come in a number of different forms, most commonly as miniature urns, held in a case. However you can also get keepsakes in the form of ornaments which too, are a lasting memory of your loved one.


A variety of different pieces of Jewellery are also available to meet your personal tastes, examples are shown in the images below.
