Ashes

[wannabebetter]

We scattered ddad's ashes on Saturday. It was v emotional but lovely (in a place he lived and walked daily). I've kept a small amount back as am considering jewellery option, but just wondered if anyone knew if any other 'keepsake' ideas for them? I know it may sound a bit macabre but I just like having a little bit of him with me... also thought about putting in a planter with a nice rose - any other ideas?

I'd be wary off a planter because the plant might need to be potted on at some point or in case the plant fails altogether. Personally I just have private little keepsakes of ages in little urns in my sock drawer, but that's not everyone's cup of tea.

A tattoo, with a tiny amount of ashes added.

Thanks - yes, thought about tattoo but not sure about any health/ safety issues but will look into it in more detail!

This contains some of my Dad’s ashes. I keep it in my living room.

That is lovely and a wonderful reminder

Ah that's beautiful! Can you share details of the company who make these?

Ashes into glass do lovely paperweights. I have one with some of my dad's ashes in. It's beautiful and really catches the light.
Also we have the remainder of the ashes in a casket, put in a large garden pot with a rose.

sorry forgot to add the picture...
