The choice is yours. Ashes can be kept in a variety of vessels such as jewelry, holiday ornaments, home decor, and many other everyday accessories. The choices are as different and unique as your lost loved one’s personality.

Cremation Jewelry
Your loved one will undoubtedly hold a special place in your heart. Now you can keep a part of them close to you forever by storing his or her cremains in a keepsake necklace.  The designs come in many styles and range from understated to ornate and from masculine to feminine. Photo lockets with ash compartments are just one way of commemorating the person that touched your life. You can even pay special tribute to a lost member of the armed forces by getting a military dog tag-style ash and photo locket.

Holiday Keepsakes
The holidays can feel less than celebratory when missing a loved one. Even if that person is no longer a part of the living, he or she can still be part of the holiday season by being specially commemorated with a holiday ornament. One artistic option is a blown glass globe with colors and cremains infused into the ornament. The results are spectacular. Another option is a classic angel with a special ash compartment. Both options help keep the memory of a loved one alive and a special part of the holiday season.

Home Décor Urns
Losing a loved one is like losing part of your everyday life. Now there’s a way to give that person a special place in your home through a truly special home décor item such as a clock, hourglass, music box, candle keepsake, American Indian dream catcher, or hurricane lamp. These items offer a unique compartment for the storage of ashes, and can serve as distinct memorials for those who are no longer with us.
