Discover Timeless Keepsake Urn Options
- Glass Urns for Ashes
Glass keepsake urns are miniature urns made from blown glass. Typically, these urns are made with cremation glass infused with cremation ash. The heat refines the cremation ash during the glass-blowing process, transforming it from a dull grey to a brilliant white. This process creates a beautiful, timeless memorial that honors your loved one’s memory.
- Fingerprint Jewelry
Fingerprint Jewelry is a unique and meaningful way to remember and connect with your loved one. Everyone’s fingerprint is different, so carrying theirs with you can be a great way to connect their memory to a keepsake. Fingerprint Jewelry is an especially great option if you want to have a part of them with you but feel uncomfortable using keepsakes infused with ashes. The Living Urn offers multiple fingerprint jewelry options, ensuring you get the right keepsake to remember your loved one.
