Memorabilia of the departed
While we do have photos and possessions of the departed to remind us of them, one way of holding close someone who has departed is to opt for an urn or cremation necklaces. While it might be a daunting thought for some people, others might cherish the opportunity to hold the ashes of the person close to their body, as pendants for ashes. In such ways it is possible to have remnants of the dearly departed close to yourself and with you at all times.
Support for those who grieve
Many people are inconsolable when they lose someone they hold dear. When one is emotionally dependent on someone, it is often difficult to accept their death. For such people, having the ashes of the cremated person in a locket pendant around their neck will provide a certain level of comfort. It would be akin to having that person around them at all times. The ashes being the last remains of that person, it helps grieving spouses and others to find comfort in having it close to their heart and with them at all times. For such reasons this kind of jewelry items are being sought out by many people these days.
