Keepsakes & memorabilia
Sometimes families like to keep a smaller memento
These keepsakes can be simple or personalised, and they give families a way to carry a tangible connection after the funeral.
- Keepsake urns — small containers for sharing ashes among family.
- Memorabilia — candles, plaques, or tokens designed to be treasured at home.
- Keepsake jewellery — lockets, pendants, or bracelets that hold a small portion of ashes.
