Bereaved families in the communities surrounding Gedling Crematorium can now carry a little piece of their loved one with them at all times, thanks to personal jewellery keepsakes.
The crematorium has formed a new partnership with EverWith, who designs and manufactures memorial jewellery which incorporates the ashes of a loved one.
Some people can find extra comfort in keeping something of their loved one close to them, which traditionally involved keeping their photo in a wallet or inside a necklace pendant.
Thanks to the innovation in technology, Gedling Crematorium can now offer local people the chance to order beautiful pieces of personal jewellery containing some of their loved one’s ashes or a glass-like stone made from the ashes.
Gedling Crematorium site manager Giulia McDonough said: “We are very pleased to be working with one of the UK’s largest memorial jewellery companies. A big part of grieving is finding a way to honour and keep their loved one with them.
“Creating a piece of jewellery with their ashes, whether it is a ring, bracelet, earrings, charm bead or cufflinks, will provide them with a personal keepsake to forever cherish.
“Anyone with the ashes of their loved one, even if their service did not take place in our crematorium, can still contact us to learn more about how their ashes can be used to create a beautiful and unique piece of jewellery.”
Jonathan Burton, Director of EverWith Memorial Jewellery, said: “My team and I are delighted that Gedling Crematorium has recognised us for our beautiful memorial jewellery and also our growing status within the UK funeral industry. “
