Cremation Jewelry

The jewelry's pretty.

Not sure I would ever use it for its intended purpose though.

I slept in the same bedroom as my grandparent (still in their UPS shipping boxes) a couple weekends ago when I stayed over at my parents.

The next morning my dad was like 'I meant to ask you if you were uncomfortable with the remains of your dead grandparents in the room, but I forgot. You weren't, were you?'

Well, uh, not til you said something!!!

Dang.

You can also have a loved one's ashes turned into a diamond.

Got the 25K that it would cost? That's about how much the going rate is for a decent sized diamond. *sighs* Yeah, not happening any time soon.

Although, I did threaten my parents if they died together, I'd make them into earings and my brother into a necklace (he's still in my parents desk drawer). :unsure:

My Dad sits in his Urn on my dresser. Has since the day we brought him home. I'll show you a pic of if as soon as my camera batteries charge.

My sister wears a small vial of Dad's ashes around her neck all the time and my brother has one hanging from the handle bars of his motorcycle that we made from a miniature bottle of Jim Beam and strips of leather from Dad's cowboy boots.

Thats Dad's resting place. Thats also his last bottle of Jim Beam, there was exactly 3 shots left in it when he died. One for each of us kids. Wow, I need to dust him off.

Thanks for sharing Gaf, that's really cool :)

I have a silver...well, I'm not sure what to call it. It's more elaborate than a crucifix, but doesn't have beads, so I wouldn't call it a rosary. Anyway, it has a jewel in the center made from the ashes of the roses covering the casket at my grandma's funeral. My cousin picked it out and surprised me with it a few weeks after the funeral. I really like it, even though though I don't consider my self a Christian at all. My grandma was, so it's fitting. It's always been a conversation piece when I've worn it.

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
