Thinking of buying my lady some jerwerally with her mums ashes in them. Believe that you can even buy them made out of the ashes themselves.
Does anyone have any experience of this stuff? Recommendations? What to avoid? Where can you go to see what it would look like??
Any advice would be appreciated.

I didn't even know it was a thing until the recent news about the two lunatics in Hull. www.lbc.co.uk/news/widow-wrong-ashes-turned-jewellery-hull-funeral-parlour-investigation/A widow who had her husband’s ashes turned into jewellery has been told that his body was found in a funeral parlour's freezer eight months after his death. The woman from Beverley, East Yorkshire was told by police that his body had been found in a freezer at Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull during a police raid. Officers said that she needed to identify his body eight months on from his death last July. The widow “paid quite a bit” to make the ashes into crystal jewellery for herself and other family members, including her late husband’s daughter and grand-daughter, but is now questioning whose ashes they are. A friend of the widow's family told the Telegraph: “They then paid quite a bit of money to have the ashes turned into crystal jewellery for his widow, daughter and grand-daughter to wear to remember him. |

Funnily enough we were talking about this on Saturday, we’ve got my dad’s ashes still and I was asked about scattering them, well some of them in a favourite place of his.
I’d noticed the jewelry option in the chapel of rest, nice touch IMO if you’re wanting to keep a loved one close, especially as burial costs are insanely high.

Making trinkets out of dead people is straight out of auschwitz.
