Cherished reminders of those we love

Funeral Keepsakes & Memorial Items

Keepsakes provide a way of memorialising your loved ones, by suspending cremated remains within solid glass keepsake jewellery.

We recommend two providers who understand the process of dealing with loved one’s cremated remains is a delicate procedure. They ensure that the greatest of care is taken when creating the keepsake of your loved ones.

Ashes Into Glass ®

When someone you love becomes a memory… that memory becomes a treasure… Ashes into Glass ® is the leading creator of ashes jewellery for our clients in the UK and worldwide. Fine jewellery for you to connect with your loved one by wearing it or just holding it in your hand.

We use traditional methods combined with our own patented process to create beautiful ashes jewellery as a lasting tribute to the one you hold dear.

When the ashes are made into jewellery, each stone has its own character. Yours may remind you of a starry night’s sky, a wispy cloud up above or maybe the ashes floating on a gentle breeze.

Remembering Your Loved One

Keepsakes can provide a lasting and comforting way to remember a loved one, offering something personal to hold onto in the months and years ahead. For those planning ahead, it may be helpful to consider how keepsakes can be included within pre-paid funeral plans, allowing your wishes to be clearly recorded.

If you are arranging a service now, keepsakes can be thoughtfully incorporated into both traditional funerals and more personal, non-religious funerals, helping to create a tribute that feels right for your loved one.
