Memorial jewelry can be such a wonderful keepsake to remember your loved one. Typically someone will put the cremated remains of their loved one into the piece of jewelry. It is also common to put a lock of hair, crushed flowers from the memorial ceremony or a special memento.

Some of the common mementos that can be put into keepsake are a piece of a special document or the earth where the person is buried. I have seen a piece of a letter that was sent the past put inside a keepsake. This can be used for remembering the person, but more important it can also be inspiration, so that you can feed off the wonderful energy or achievement that this person completed.

Most jewelry is solid. At a store you may find gold or silver jewelry, but many of these cannot be used for a keepsake. For memorial jewelry the item has a space inside for storing something special. This usually is sealed by a screw top, bottom or back. Many of these piece of memorial jewelry cannot house more than one cubic inch. The space inside is quite small and the space to insert the cremains or memento is even smaller. For cremation jewelry you can expect to have a funnel included in your purchase, so that it can be reasonable to insert the cremains. If you do not get a funnel with your purchase, I encourage you to go the local Michael’s Arts and Crafts and pick one. This will make the job much easier. If this job is not for you, it may be a good choice to have another family member insert the cremated remains. And sometimes you can also ask for the funeral home or crematorium to assist you in this process.

There are so many lovely keepsakes to choose from. I suggest having a look around what is on the internet and make sure that you are happy with the look of the item and also the price. Jewelry is a premium item and can easy jump in price. Don’t think because this is a piece of memorial jewelry that it is worth more than it should be. You should always be aware that there are some companies and people that take advantage of people that have lost a loved one. Although there are some people with honesty and integrity and treat you right. Be sure to find the right person, company or funeral home to help you during this difficult time. Thank you for reading.
