When you lose a loved one, you have the option to plan for a burial. When you opt for a burial, you will look for a cemetery or mausoleum that is close to your home. This is so it will be easy to visit them and give you comfort knowing they were laid to rest in the community they lived their life in. But what if you and your family members live far away from each other? What compromise would you reach so that each of you would be able to easily visit your loved one. Well, there is also the option of cremation. You can opt to put the ashes of your deceased loved one in an urn, but that would mean that you would have to choose where the urn would be kept, and whether or not you would keep it in a home or bury it, or even keep it in a mausoleum. You also have the option to scatter the ashes somewhere significant and sentimental. You could also opt to choose to have jewellery made from your loved one’s ashes so that you would not only keep your deceased loved one close to heart, but you would also be able to share their ashes with your entire family.

Protected and Loved
There is a belief that glass can symbolise invisible protection. You could have the ashes of your deceased loved ones made into jewelry which highlights glasswork such as rings, cufflinks and pendants which makes use of a glass encasement where the ashes will be stored in. Not only that, but you could also opt to have the ashes made into a memorial paperweight made out of glass.
