Ways To Memorialise Your Loved One After A Direct Cremation

After a direction cremation with Crystal Cremations, the ashes of your loved one can be returned to your family, so you can decide how and when you wish to celebrate their life and say goodbye. Once your loved one’s ashes have been returned, there are multiple options available for memorialising them. Some of these options are very popular, while others are quite uncommon and can offer a unique way to keep your loved one close.

An Urn

A very common way to keep your loved one with you is to place their ashes in an urn. There are lots of different suppliers that can help you choose the perfect urn to suit your loved one perfectly. From ceramic to biodegradable, there are lots of different materials available, each with a special design. Biodegradable urns are a thoughtful choice to place the ashes in, and some opt to bury the urn under a tree, allowing their loved one to return to the earth naturally. 

Memorial Jewellery

Memorial jewellery is perfect for those who wish to carry a piece of their loved one with them forever. From necklaces to cufflinks and rings, the ranges of jewellery options available are vast. There are some very unique options offered by companies who specialise in creating diamond pieces intertwined with your loved one’s ashes.

Ashes Art

A stunning way to remember your loved one is to intertwine their ashes into glass art. It is made from molten glass and entwined with the colour/colours of your choice. The art is then encased with more glass and hand-sculpted which preserves the ashes forever.

Scattering Ashes

Scattering ashes is an option that is different to every family. Some people think it’s perfect and some dislike the idea, as they’d prefer to keep their loved one close to them. But scattering ashes – especially at a significant place for the deceased – can be a wonderful ceremony and offer closure to the family. Some love this idea as it allows them to bring their loved one to a place that’s been significant to them their whole life, or somewhere where they’ve always wanted to go.
