A memorial gift is a great way to remember your loved one. Whether you choose to create a specialist tribute to share with friends and family or would like a memorial trinket to keep for yourself, there are many options to choose from.
If you’re choosing to share the piece with someone who was close to the deceased, it’s a good idea to discuss it with them first. Although a surprise may seem nice, when someone is grieving they may have a different idea of what makes a good memento. Some people dislike the thought of using ashes to create keepsakes, whereas others feel that they’re a great way to feel connected to the departed. We’ve put together a variety of excellent memorial gifts, so you can choose the perfect one for you.
Ashes Into Glass
We couldn’t miss an opportunity to mention this incredible service. Ashes into Glass create bespoke jewellery which incorporates your loved one’s ashes, so you can hold them close to you. Because each piece is unique, this is a very special tribute that will last for a very long time. If you’re able to make the trip to their workshop in Essex, you can even see your gemstone being made before your eyes.
Fingerprint Jewellery
Your fingerprint is truly unique. Therefore, a piece of jewellery made with the fingerprint of your loved one offers a great way to remember them. You’ll always have a piece of them with you that cannot be replicated. There are lots of materials to choose from, and they can be used to create jewellery, decorations, prints and cufflinks.
Floral Tributes
Flowers are very often seen at funerals. Floral displays are beautifully put together, and many people choose to keep the funeral flowers until they wilt. However, if you’d like the flowers to last, you can have them dried and preserved. You can choose to have them displayed in a paperweight, made into beads for jewellery or encapsulated into a frame. In fact, there are a huge amount of options for flower preservation. These are a great way to remember a loved one without having to use their ashes.
Memory Bears
If you have a garment or piece of fabric that belonged to your loved one, you could choose to have it made into a memory bear. These are wonderful ways to remember a loved one. You can also have a small urn of ashes inside the bear, so when you hug the bear you can feel close to the deceased.
