The choices are virtually limitless and greatly different in style and purpose. Ashes can be a visible part of everyday life or small cherished keepsakes brought out only for special occasions. 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.

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 keepsake. 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.
