If you decide that cremation services in Newtown Square, PA are right for a loved one who has passed on, that’s the biggest decision you will have to make. However, there are other things to think about as time passes. It’s nice to know that when you choose a cremation package, you are going to have everything you need to cover your loved one. They will get the cremation process, the necessary transportation, and even a simple container for their remains. Once those things are taken care of, you are going to have no more timeline in effect for any decisions. But at some point, you are going to want to think about what to do with your loved one’s remains. And there are plenty of options to consider. Here are a few:
You may not feel as if you can completely give your loved one up, and you don’t have to. You will always have their memories and a piece of them in your heart. You can also carry some of their ashes with you whenever you feel the need to do so. Cremation jewelry allows you to put a bit of their ashes inside a small urn that you can actually wear. This might bring you comfort and since the cremation jewelry items only take a small bit of ashes, you can get pieces for other family members as well.
Your loved one’s remains can be compressed into diamonds. It’s one small way to get something beautiful out of something devastating. The diamond you create is something you can place inside a ring, a necklace, a bracelet, or even a display box. It can become a special jewel that you pass down through the generations as a family heirloom.
Burial might be something you think about in relation to a funeral, but it can also be carried out after cremation services. The biggest difference is that you can bury your loved one in the cemetery, or in another location, if you want. Cremation opens the door to allow you to bury your loved one in a variety of locations. The cremation provider can go over some of those options with you if you want to move in that direction.
You can have ashes mixed into paint, clay, or even liquid glass and then, a piece of completely unique art can be created using a part of them. This piece is something your whole family will likely cherish and it, again, will become a special item that you honor and pass along through your family. Since ashes can spread a long ways, you can create more than one piece as well.
There are plenty of other things you can do with a loved one’s remains after cremation services in Newtown Square, PA and the professionals can help you go over the options and come up with further ideas.
