There are tons of different ways you can memorialize a loved one after you have cremation services in Wayne, PA for them. You can have a memorial service for them that feels traditional and more like a funeral. You can have a celebration of life service for them. You can lay them to rest in a special location. One thing many families do is choose an urn for their loved one. Any cremation package you get for them is going to come with a simple container. But you can use an urn of your choosing instead. There are standard urns, but other things can be utilized as containers for a loved one’s remains as well. And those things can sometimes feel unique and personal. Here are a few options.


A Special Wall Plaque


Perhaps the person who died was your dad and you want to do something to honor him. Get a ‘Best Dad’ wall plaque to commemorate what he meant to your life. You can get an urn that goes with it and place them together or even get a plaque that has an urn attached or tucked behind it. It’s a nice way to memorialize someone special in a different way.


Their Garden Watering Can


Perhaps you envied your loved one for their green thumb. You never saw them without that watering can as they took care of their garden and other plants around the house. The watering can might be a special piece to you. Maybe it was their mothers and got passed down a few times before they started to use it. The watering can could then become your loved one’s final resting place. Place their ashes inside and seal it closed. You can keep them on your porch, in your own garden, or even in your house.


Their Much-Loved Tool Box


It’s nice to have a go-to person that can fix anything. When something breaks, all you have to do is call them and they come over, their tool box in tow. That same tool box can be very special to you after they pass on. You can make it even more special by placing their ashes inside it and putting it in a place of honor within your house. Put the tool in another box and use them for jobs you feel you might be able to do.


A Fun Cookie Jar


If your loved one was quite the baker, or perhaps they collected cookie jars, a cookie jar of a certain type might be just the right place for their remains. If they enjoyed a certain character, you can probably find a cookie jar that features that character. You can put the jar in your kitchen to oversee your cooking and baking as well as your family events.
