A Special Vacation Spot


If your loved one had a favorite vacation spot, this may be a good place to consider spreading the ashes. This can also be a place where you can come back and visit and remember your loved one. Before spreading ashes in any location, be sure to check with the local authorities to make sure it is allowed. Never spread them on private property or an area that isn’t safe.


Tattoos


Tattoos last forever and they can be a great way to remember a loved one. While many people get memorial tattoos of a loved one, you can actually have your loved one’s ashes tattooed on your body. A small amount of ashes can be added to the ink and then used in the tattoo. The ashes can become a part of your body and will stay with you forever.


Jewelry


If you are always looking for a way to keep your loved one’s ashes with you, you can add them to any type of jewelry and wear them as you please. Many people take comfort in knowing that they can always have a small part of their loved ones with them. You can choose to add the ashes to a necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings, or other pieces of your choice.


Gardening


If you love to garden or if your loved one was passionate about flowers and all things nature, you may want to add your loved one’s ashes to the plants or the soil where you plant them. As the plant grows, it absorbs the ashes and a part of your loved one becomes the plant. Every time you look at the plant you will be reminded of your loved one and how much they enjoyed gardening or how much you enjoyed gardening with them.
