Cross Cremation Jewelry

Cross cremation jewelry is a beautiful way to remember a friend, family member, or other loved one who has passed away. From a simple sterling silver cross to an elaborate solid gold pendant, there are cremation crosses for nearly every style and budget. Many people choose a religious symbol, like a cross, to memorialize the passing of a loved one, and Perfect Memorials has many options to choose from.

What Is Cross Cremation Jewelry?

Crosses, of course, are a symbol of Christianity to most people. After the death of a loved one, wearing a piece of jewelry that includes a cross can be a way to remember that the person has passed on to heaven and the next life. This can be of great comfort to survivors who are in mourning.

Cremation jewelry is specialized jewelry that includes a small empty chamber that's sealed with a screw. When the screw is removed, a small pinch of ashes, dried funeral flowers, hair, or burial soil can be added to the chamber. It is then resealed, keeping the contents safe. Cross cremation jewelry allows a family to share a small remembrance of a loved one with those who were close to him or her. They can wear the jewelry and keep the departed close to mind.

Each butterfly cremation jewelry order from Perfect Memorials comes with a filling kit to make the process of filling your jewelry simply. The cremains can be added with the aid of a small funnel, and a tube of glue is included to allow you to seal the chamber permanently. If you need assistance, a local funeral home or crematorium may be able to help.

The History of Cremation Jewelry

Memorial jewelry has been worn for hundreds of years, if not longer. Taking something from the deceased, whether a lock of hair or a personal belonging, and using it as a keepsake has a long tradition, and hair jewelry was popular during Victorian times. These pieces can be easily damaged, however, so cremation jewelry was created to include a protective chamber. When the hair, cremains, or other item is placed inside, the jewelry can be sealed shut to prevent exposure to air, water, or other damaging elements.
