When you have a cremation service for your loved one, it’s nice to do something unique with their remains that you find fitting for that person’s personality and overall style.

When a loved one goes through a Cremation service in Glenview, IL, you have options to consider once that part of the process is over. The good part about cremation is that you don’t have a timeline on the process after that is complete. You can have a memorial service at any time in the future, whether right away or down the road. You can also do whatever you want with their remains. Some people keep them in an urn, others scatter them, and you could also bury them. But there are also unique things you might consider doing with the remains. If you want something that truly speaks to your loved one’s personality, consider some of these options: 

Cremation Jewelry 

This is one option that is becoming more popular and it is a good way to share a loved one or to keep them close to you whenever you want. These jewelry pieces are shaped like pendants, hearts, crosses, and other things. They can also be made into charms for bracelets, or even diamonds for rings. These items are not only precious to each person that has a piece of the ashes, but they can also be real heirlooms that can be handed down through the generations. 

Paintings 

If you want to create something, again, that you might be able to pass down through the generations. You could have your loved one’s ashes mixed in with paint and then have a portrait, a landscape, or even a sunset or something else painted with their remains. It could be something you treasure and your family members adore as it gets passed down. It will also remind you of your loved one every time you see it. 

Tattoos 

Like with the painting, some of your loved one’s remains could be mixed in with ink and then tattooed into your body. You could get a tattoo of their name or something that reminds you of them and they would be a permanent part of your life in that way. It’s not something everyone would want to do, but for some people, it would be the perfect, meaningful fit. 

Fireworks 



If you want to send your loved one off with a bang, literally, you could mix some of your loved one’s ashes in with fireworks so they can be shot off as a memorial for your loved one. It can be a real event with your family.
