Different Options for the Ashes After Cremation
More and more people are planning cremation services in Plymouth, MI. While there are many reasons why cremations have become more popular as body disposition options, one of them relates to options for the cremated remains after the cremation is completed.
With that said, here’s a look at some options for the ashes once the final service is over.
Tattoo
Do you have tattoos? If not, are you interested in getting one? It’s possible to honor your loved one by getting one or more tattoos. Here’s how: Some tattoo artists will combine a portion of the cremated remains with ink and then give you a customized tattoo. It could be a portrait of the deceased or just about anything else you want. It’s one of the more unique options for ashes.
Burial
You can also bury the urn containing your loved one’s ashes. One option is to bury the urn on private property. So you may want to do it on your land or on the property of another family member. Another option is to bury the urn in a cemetery. Some cemeteries have urn gardens where people can bury the urns containing their loved ones’ ashes.
Cremation Jewelry
Another option is to get cremation jewelry, which is also called memorial jewelry. Cremation jewelry can come in the form of a ring, a watch, a necklace, a pendant, or any other type of jewelry. But what separates regular jewelry from memorial jewelry is the fact that memorial jewelry has an internal compartment where cremated remains can be placed.
Yet another type of cremation jewelry is something like a ring with a precious stone that is made from some of the cremated remains. The ashes are put through a process that includes high heat, and this creates the precious stone.
Scattering
You can also scatter the cremated remains of your deceased loved one. You can do that on land, on a body of water, and even in the air. To make the scattering more meaningful, you can hold a memorial service or celebration of life service before scattering the ashes.
At Home
You can also keep your deceased loved one’s their ashes in your residence. Consider your urn options. If the urn will be on display in your home, you’ll want to invest into getting a really nice one. If multiple members of your family want some of the ashes, you can buy multiple smaller urns and place some of the ashes in each of them.
Art
You can also turn the cremated remains into art. One option is to combine some of the ashes with paint before creating a unique artistic rendering. You can hire someone to do this for you if neither you nor anyone else in your family is gifted artistically. Another option is to combine blown glass with cremation ashes to produce something you’ll be able to use.
