Collection: Memorial Keepsakes | Non-Wearable Ashes & Hair Tributes

Honour cherished memories with my handcrafted memorial keepsakes. Each piece is lovingly made by me in my South Oxfordshire studio to preserve ashes, hair, or pet fur in beautiful, non-wearable tributes. My collection includes paperweights, glass lockets, and display pieces crafted with care and sealed to protect your precious memories. Perfect for those who prefer keepsakes they can display rather than wear.

What Are Memorial Keepsakes?

Memorial keepsakes are non-wearable memorial pieces that preserve cremation ashes, hair, or pet fur in beautiful display items. Unlike memorial jewellery that you wear, these keepsakes are designed to be displayed in your home, office, or special place where you can see them every day.

Each piece is completely unique – the ashes, hair, or fur create natural patterns and textures within the resin, making your memorial keepsake truly one-of-a-kind. They're perfect for those who want a memorial tribute they can display prominently.

What Can Be Preserved in Memorial Keepsakes?

• Human Ashes – Cremation ashes from loved ones, parents, grandparents, children, or family members
• Pet Ashes – Ashes from beloved dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, or other cherished pets
• Human Hair – Locks of hair from loved ones or baby's first haircut
• Pet Fur – Dog fur, cat fur, horse hair, or fur from any beloved pet
• Flowers – Funeral flowers, wedding flowers, or special occasion blooms
• Shared Memories – Combine ashes, hair, and flowers in a single keepsake
