    Keepsakes & Memorial Jewellery

Meaningful Ways to Remember Your Loved One

At Sussex Direct Cremation, we understand how important it is to keep the memory of a loved one close. That’s why we offer a thoughtful selection of memorial keepsakes and bespoke remembrance items, created with care and designed to last a lifetime.
From beautiful urns and ashes into glass jewellery, to fingerprint keepsakes and handcrafted pieces by local artisans, our keepsakes offer a lasting connection to those you love.

Urns & Ashes Containers

After a direct cremation, ashes are returned in a suitable, simple container. However, many families choose to transfer them into a more personal or decorative urn.

We offer a range of ceramic, wooden, biodegradable, and metal urns, suitable for keeping at home, interment, or scattering ceremonies. Styles range from classic and elegant to modern and eco-friendly, helping you find the right design for your loved one’s memory and your home.

Ashes into Glass Jewellery

Create a truly personal tribute with ashes to glass jewellery, where a small amount of your loved one’s ashes is fused into glass and set into a pendant, ring, bracelet, or cufflink.

Each item is handcrafted by specialist UK memorial jewellers, offering:

  • A discreet and elegant way to keep your loved one close
  • A wide range of colours, metal finishes, and designs
  • Professionally packaged and engraved options

This is one of our most popular keepsake options, combining craft, beauty, and sentiment in a piece you can wear every day.

Fingerprint Jewellery

Fingerprint Jewellery

Fingerprint jewellery captures the unique imprint of your loved one’s touch, pressed into silver or gold pendants, keyrings, and charms. These tactile keepsakes offer a deeply personal way to remember them – something tangible, real, and one-of-a-kind.

We offer:

  • Silver and gold options
  • Heart, oval, and round styles
  • Custom engraving on request
  • Professionally made in the UK

Our team can help you arrange fingerprint collection before cremation.

Locally Made Memorial Art & Keepsakes

We are proud to work with skilled local artists and craftspeople across Sussex and Kent who create unique remembrance items to honour your loved one. These may include:

  • Hand-thrown ceramic urns
  • Carved wooden keepsake boxes
  • Glass-blown ornaments infused with ashes
  • Personalised memory candles, sculpture, and artwork

By choosing locally made memorials, you’re not only keeping your tribute meaningful and close to home, but also supporting independent artists who pour genuine care into every piece.
