About Me

Staying farewell in style

My grandmother was a really stylish old woman. Even when she was sick and when she got frail, she'd still always look perfect and she'd never go anywhere without her lipstick looking immaculate! It was hard to say goodbye to her because she was such a spunky old lady. I knew that she would want her funeral to be a reflection of her style and personality. The funeral did an awesome job and made sure every detail was perfect. It's never great to say goodbye to someone that you love that much, but knowing she'd approve of the funeral did make the day go a little easier.

Customisable Urns, Keepsakes and Memorials in Modern Times

Cremation memorialisation has evolved significantly, offering families and loved ones deeply personal ways to honour those who have passed. Gone are the days of standardised urns and traditional methods. Instead, modern memorials focus on individuality, reflecting the unique life and story of a loved one. Bespoke designs have become an increasingly popular choice, blending craftsmanship with heartfelt sentiment.

Personalised Urns

Customisable urns are a meaningful way to celebrate a loved one’s character and passions. Families can now choose from various materials, shapes and designs, ensuring the urn resonates with the individual’s essence. Whether it’s the warmth of hand-carved wood, the elegance of ceramic or the sleekness of metal, options abound. Some urns even feature engravings with names, quotes or significant dates, heightening the personal touch. For those seeking a creative twist, artists can craft urns inspired by hobbies, favourite symbols or even cherished landscapes.

Keepsakes Filled With Love

Keepsakes have emerged as a component of cremation memorialisation. These small, tangible items hold a portion of the ashes, providing a physical connection to those we've lost. Options range from intricately designed pendants and bracelets to tiny, decorative boxes that can be displayed at home. Many families find comfort in carrying keepsake jewellery close to their hearts, allowing them to feel an ongoing bond. Beyond jewellery, alternative keepsakes include glass sculptures and art pieces infused with ashes, merging remembrance with aesthetic beauty.

Unique Artistic Memorials

Art has proven to be a powerful medium for preserving memories, offering limitless opportunities for customisation. Glass artisans can blend ashes with molten glass, creating striking paperweights, ornaments or sculptures. Similarly, ashes can be used to craft vibrant paintings or incorporate them into pottery. These artistic forms allow families to celebrate their loved one’s life in a deeply personal and creative way, often becoming centrepieces of remembrance in the home.

Honouring Stories Through Modern Design

Every life is unique, and bespoke cremation memorialisation ensures no story is left untold. Companies and artists alike are devoted to intricately weaving personal histories into their designs. Some even incorporate digital elements, such as QR codes on urns or memorial plaques, linking to digital tributes that share photos, videos and stories. This marriage of craftsmanship and technology allows families to preserve and share memories across generations.

Cremation memorialisation in modern times embraces diversity and individuality, offering a wide array of customisable options to affectionately honour a loved one’s life and legacy. These personalised designs are not merely keepsakes; they hold immense emotional significance, reflecting the essence of those who are dearly missed while providing a sense of connection and comfort.
