3 Unique Ways to Honor Your Loved One After Cremation

1. Grow New Life

Rather than enduring the costly process of a selecting a casket or gravestone, some people choose to honor their loved one by giving them an opportunity to live on. After the funeral service, place the ashes in a biodegradable urn instead. This special urn will allow your loved one’s ashes to act as soil for a new tree. Plant the urn with that tree seedling and watch it grow into a beautiful living memorial.

2. Create an Art Connection

Many people choose to get a tattoo to immortalize their special person in ink. However, recently tattoo artists have created a special mixture that can incorporate your loved one’s ashes into the ink and include it in your tattoo. This way, your loved one will always be with you in the tattoo you’ve chosen just for them.

3. Light a Spark

Some people don’t wish for their funeral service to be a solemn occasion, so putting their ashes into fireworks for a breathtaking light show display is one way for people to look at the passing in a new light. This method may require a bit of funeral planning. Cremation would need to be performed beforehand, and the ashes given to a loaded ammunition expert who can create the special fireworks. This is a testament to your loved one that family and friends will always remember.
