Crystal Paperweight

Crystal Paperweight

Inurnment and scattering are the most popular ways of handling cremains, other ways have also become well-liked. While some are somewhat extreme-such as having a container with the cremains shot out of a cannon, or even more intense-into space, others are very charming and sentimental.

1. Keepsake urns, for example, are becoming a very popular alternative container for cremated remains. Keepsake urns are smaller urns that hold a portion of the cremated remains. They range in design from very simple to very detailed works of art. The concept behind the keepsake is to allow each family member to have a small amount of the cremated remains to create a personal memorial. Very often, keepsakes are sold in multiples, especially if there are several family members who are interested in having their own memorial to the deceased. Some keepsakes are a little more unusual, but artistic and beautiful. A glass sculpture or paperweight can be created which encases a portion of the cremains.

2. Some choose to mix a small bit of the cremains into paint and paint a picture with the mixture. There are services which can help you with this. An Internet search will provide several options.

3. Another kind of keepsake is cremation jewelry. While the idea may sound odd initially, cremation jewelry is a unique way to remember your loved one. Cremation keepsake jewelry is jewelry in which a portion of the cremains has been incorporated in some way. Cremation jewelry comes in many styles and material. Some cremation jewelry incorporates small crystal containers which house a portion of the remains and are mounted in a precious metal as a ring, bracelet or necklace. Another form of cremation jewelry is the cremation or memorial diamond which is a man-made diamond with all of the chemical properties of a natural diamond which has been created from the carbon of cremated remains or a lock of hair. Each diamond is unique and, like a natural diamond can be mounted and worn in many different ways. Cremation jewelry is suitable for both men and women, of all ages and serves as a means of keeping a piece of your loved one near you at all times.

Many options exist these days from traditional placement in an urn (inurnment) which can either be kept in the home, in a special spot in a cemetery, buried, entombed or placed in a mausoleum to less traditional options such as being converted into a piece of jewelry.
