Loss and the days (weeks, months) that can be unbelievably challenging, and there are many decisions that you will end up making during this time. One decision that will stay with you is how you will choose to memorialize your loved one and keep them with you in the years to come.  

In this article, we will explore the different ways that you can memorialize someone special that you have lost.

Urns

Urns have been one of the more standard ways to memorialize a loved one following a cremation for generations now. These beautiful designs offer a safe and convenient way to keep a loved one in the home while paying tribute to them. Since they are available in different shapes, sizes, and materials, you can always find an urn that will match the spirit and presence of your loved one.

You can find lovely and creative urn options through Spirit Pieces.

Memorial Diamonds

It is often said that a diamond is forever, and this idea is what makes memorial diamonds such a lovely choice. Memorial diamond companies use carbon extraction by taking ashes or hair from your loved one, which they then include in their diamond-making process. Some companies even allow you to choose from different colors. These designs offer the beauty of natural gems and diamonds with a little something special inside too.

Memorial Paintings

In the same way that memorial diamonds incorporate ashes into a diamond, memorial paintings add ashes to the paint. For this service, you will send some of your loved one’s ashes and select a painting design. The artist will create the design, and you will receive a very special painting that allows you to keep your loved one nearby.

Memorial Glass Art and Sculptures

Memorial art is becoming more popular, and many creative people are finding new ways for you to create something beautiful that commemorates the very special person that you have lost. Memorial glass art and sculptures use ashes as a part of an overall artistic design, leaving you with a beautiful reminder of your loved one that you can keep in the home. Glass art is available in many forms, so you can decide what colors and designs will work best for honoring your loved one.
