While keeping urns at home remains popular, there are many options available for conducting the perfect send-off after a loved one has been cremated. From spectacular events to beautiful keepsakes for ashes, it’s now easier than ever to find a unique way to honor individuals with an independent flair and special zest for life.

Cremation Jewelry 

Beautiful in life and beautiful in death, those with a special place in your heart can be kept close and treasured for years when their ashes are made into a piece of fine jewelry. Rings, diamond studs, and memorial pins are just a few of the possibilities for crafting personalized jewelry keepsakes for ashes.

Classic Sea Burial 

If a Viking send-off seems too flashy but the idea of the ocean still sparks an interest, a classic sea burial is a great alternative. Classic sea burials consist of a chartered boat that guides you to a quiet, appropriate place on the sea to scatter the ashes. Some families may read a poem or play a song – others enjoy the peaceful quietude of the lapping waves.

Vintage Aviation Scattering 

Another poignant option is to have your loved one’s ashes scattered from a vintage Spitfire or Grasshopper aircraft, which is possible through a company based in Kent, England. A wonderful way to honor veterans and aviation enthusiasts, this is a unique celebration of life.

One with the Stars Above 

Many find comfort by looking up at the stars after the death of a loved one. Make the moment that much more meaningful by scattering their ashes in space – it’s possible with Ascension Flights, a group that uses meteorological balloons to carry cremated remains high into the sky before releasing them.

Personal Memory Box 

The untimely death of a partner can be particularly difficult. Widowed individuals may find comfort in creating a personal memory box, which includes important keepsakes, cologne, notes, and photos alongside a small ceramic urn with the loved one’s ashes.

Artistic Home Décor Pieces 

Artisan urns and artistic home décor pieces are a great way to memorialize a loved one and honor them with a unique display that keeps them ever-present in the home.

Memorial Garden 

For those who want to generate serenity in their own backyard, planting a memorial garden is a fantastic idea. Scatter the cremated ashes amongst lilies, tulips, daffodils, and other blooming plants to enjoy continued growth and beauty.
