When you work with funeral homes in Daytona Beach, FL on the final services for a loved one, one of the advantages you have to having professionals by your side is a long list of ideas and options. When you get stuck with a decision you have to make and don’t know what to do, they can suggest some options they think might suit you based on what they know about you, your family, and the person you are honoring. Even if you decide to go with cremation, you might not know what to do with your loved one’s remains once the cremation takes place. There are certainly plenty of options. Endless options, in fact. If you want to get creative, the funeral home could suggest one of these things as an option:
A New Family Heirloom
If you’ve been given something that has been passed down through your family for generations, you know how special those things are. Family heirlooms have to start somewhere, and you can start a new tradition yourself. Your loved one’s ashes could be made into a diamond, which you could them put into a ring or necklace and then pass down to your children who will carry it and pass it on as well. Your loved one is present throughout the generations.
Go Out With A Bang
If you want to have a memorable (and unique) memorial service with lots of guests, you could include fireworks at the end. There are companies that can mix ashes in with the fireworks to give extra meaning to everyone watching the show. IT’s something that leaves a lasting impression and allows your loved one to have the flair they might have had in life.
New Art
Another thing you could end up passing down through the ages is a great piece of art. You can have some of your loved one’s ashes mixed in with paint and painted into something beautiful that you can hang on your wall. It could be a scenic piece, a portrait of them, a picture of an animal, or anything else you think they would have liked.
Jewelry Reminders
While placing an urn in your home is a popular choice, you can also get a small, mini urn that you can wear in the form of a piece of jewelry. These urns look like regular necklaces like pendants, crosses, or hearts, and hold a bit of ashes so you can keep your loved one close to you at all times.
