Remembrance Jewelry and Other Keepsake Examples

Losing a loved one often leaves us wondering how we can keep their memory alive. Fortunately, the team at Compassionate Cremation Services in North New Jersey is dedicated to helping those who have lost a family member or friend find closure through our personalized services and our special keepsakes, including remembrance jewelry. Here, we explore remembrance jewelry and other keepsake options you can add to your loved one’s memorial.

What Is Remembrance Jewelry?

National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) found that nearly 64% of people opted for cremation over burial in 2025, and this number is projected to rise in the future. Because of this, more people are finding special ways to keep friends and family members close after passing. That’s where remembrance jewelry comes in.

Remembrance jewelry, also known as cremation jewelry, funeral jewelry, or memorial jewelry, is an increasingly popular way for people to cherish those who are no longer with us, allowing them to keep loved ones in their hearts and on their minds. At Compassionate Cremation Services, we offer personalized remembrance jewelry in many styles, including:

• Pendants
• Bracelets
• Rings
• Lockets

Each of these options can be designed to hold a small amount of one’s cremated remains, so they can stay with you for life. It is also possible to use symbolic material instead of their cremated remains if you’d rather put them in an urn.

What Other Options Are Available for Keepsakes?

If jewelry isn’t of interest, there are plenty of other ways to keep your loved one’s memory alive. Other keepsake options we offer at Compassionate Cremation Services include:

Keepsake Urns

Traditional urns are made to house the entirety of one’s remains, but keepsake urns are smaller and make a great solution for larger families who want everyone to have a piece of their loved one. These can be made from wood, metal, ceramic, and other materials, allowing each family member to choose their favorite option.

Parting Stone

We partner with Parting Stone to turn cremated ashes into beautiful and unique stones. You can use these stones in gardens, hold them in your hands as you remember your loved one, or share them with family members. Whatever you choose to do with them, these stones serve as a physical reminder of your loved one’s life. 

Ashes into Glass 

If you want to carry your loved one with you, we also partner with Ashes into Glass. This program offers a meaningful way to memorialize your loved one by incorporating a small amount of their cremated remains into beautiful, handcrafted jewelry. These lasting pieces provide a personal reminder of the times you shared with your family member. 

The Living Urn

One of the most unique ways to let your loved one live on is through The Living Urn. This program allows you to turn your loved one’s ashes into a tree that will live on in your loved one’s memory.
