Cremation Keepsakes and Jewellery

After the memorial service, it can be reassuring to have a personal token of remembrance that you can look at, hold or carry with you as you go through the stages of grief. A wearable remembrance can bring comfort and peace wherever you go. Whether it’s a cross charm holding your loved one’s cremation ashes or a small medallion with a special engraving like a name/date or a special fingerprint pendant, a piece of customized urn jewellery is a beautiful way to remember a loved one.

Cremation jewellery expresses personal style and keeps the memory of your loved one close. Your Dignity Memorial® professional can show you cremation jewellery and keepsake options that fit both your budget and your taste.

Cremation jewellery

For families who choose cremation, there are many funeral keepsake options. From small keepsake urns and containers to special jewellery pieces, like an urn necklace or bracelet, that hold a portion of your loved one’s ashes. Both can be personalized to reflect your loved one’s personality, hobbies or pastimes.

Like small keepsake urns, cremation jewellery is perfect for an individual or a group to remember a special relationship. It allows for multiple people to retain a small amount of ashes in a charm. A timeless piece of jewellery can be worn and loved for generations to come.

Charm options that can hold ashes

Charms come in many shapes and sizes. Families can choose from shapes like a heart, cross, black and silver capsule, key, or dog tag. Life Stories® medallions can also hold your loved one’s ashes. These small remembrances can reflect faith, service to country, a relationship, a special phrase or quote, or they can feature a gem in black, blue, crystal, purple or red.

Cremation jewellery materials

Both cross and heart cremation jewellery are available in 14K gold as well as sterling silver options. The black and silver capsule and dog tag come in stainless steel, while the key is available in sterling silver. All of the Life Stories medallions are sterling silver.

Once you choose your desired remembrance piece, you may also want to add special beads or charms that represent your loved one or the relationship you had with them. For example, you can combine a sterling silver cross charm holding ashes with a medallion that represents the armed forces, and special beads that represent the love you shared. Or, if your wife loved traveling, you may choose to gift a bracelet to your children with an airplane charm and a heart holding your wife’s ashes.

Whether it’s a necklace or a charm bracelet, you can carry the love and memories with you to keep the memory of your loved one close by.

Ordering cremation jewellery

Delivery times for jewellery and keepsakes will depend on the item and the quantities ordered.

Other types of charms and remembrances

For families that choose traditional burial, you can still have a personalized piece of jewellery to remember your loved one. From engraved dog tags to a Life Stories bracelet with multiple beads or charms, you can also wear a special piece of jewellery that is close to your heart.

Life Stories collection

Families can add themed bead sets from our Life Stories collection that can add flair and personalization to a bracelet or necklace. Beads come in a set of three and can represent a relationship, service to country, friendship and more.

Timeless Touch® silver pendant

A sterling silver thumbprint pendant lets the wearer keep a loved one close to his or her heart. Round, rimmed and imprinted with the loved one’s actual thumbprint, the pendant comes on an 18-inch box chain with lobster clasp.
