Funeral Keepsakes

Explore meaningful funeral keepsakes to cherish your loved one’s memory

A funeral keepsake is more than just a memento – it’s a personal tribute that helps preserve the memory of someone special. Whether it’s a piece of jewellery containing ashes, a framed photograph, or a handcrafted memorial, these items offer comfort in grief and a tangible way to stay connected to your loved one.

At Cutmore Family Funeral Directors, we understand how important it is to hold on to something meaningful after a loss. That is why we offer a thoughtful selection of funeral keepsakes and memorial items to help you celebrate a life lived and keep their memory close.

What Is a Funeral Keepsake?

A funeral keepsake is a small, often personalised item designed to honour the memory of someone who has died. These keepsakes serve as lasting reminders, providing comfort during moments of reflection and, in some cases, are gifted to friends and family after the funeral service.

Keepsakes can include jewellery incorporating ashes or fingerprints, framed photos or memorial prints, candles and memorial lanterns, urns or miniature scatter tubes, as well as memory boxes and books filled with stories and mementoes. Many families find great solace in choosing or creating keepsakes that reflect the character, passions, or values of their loved one.

Popular Types of Funeral Keepsakes

Ashes Jewellery

Ashes jewellery is one of the most personal and enduring ways to keep someone close. Options include pendants, lockets, or bracelets containing a small portion of cremated ashes, pieces engraved with a fingerprint or handwriting, or even memorial diamonds created from ashes.

Custom Memorials

For a truly bespoke keepsake, we can help you source or design memorial candles with personalised labels, photo frames or engraved plaques, glass paperweights incorporating ashes, or handcrafted sculptures and artwork. These unique tributes can be displayed at home or kept in a quiet, personal space for reflection.

Keepsake Urns

Alongside full-sized urns, smaller keepsake urns are available for families who wish to share ashes among relatives, or for those wanting to keep a small amount close while the rest is scattered or buried.

Memory Boxes and Books

Memory boxes allow families to collect and store items that reflect their loved one’s life – photographs, letters, jewellery, or personal belongings. Memory books can also be created for friends and relatives to write messages, stories, and thoughts to be preserved for generations.

Keepsakes for the Funeral Service

Some families choose to offer small keepsakes to guests at the funeral or memorial service, such as seed packets to grow a living tribute, memorial bookmarks or cards with poems or photos, or small candles and stones engraved with the person’s name or initials. These thoughtful tokens allow everyone to take home a piece of the day and carry the memory forward.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Options

If sustainability was meaningful to your loved one, we can guide you towards environmentally conscious keepsakes such as biodegradable urns and memorial planters, handcrafted wooden boxes from sustainable sources, and mementoes made from recycled or natural materials. These options allow you to honour their memory while caring for the earth.

Support Choosing the Right Keepsake

Choosing a funeral keepsake is an emotional and deeply personal process. Our compassionate team is here to help you select an item that feels right – whether it’s for yourself, your family, or as a gift to someone else who is grieving. We work with trusted local and national suppliers to provide high-quality, customisable keepsakes that reflect your needs, your values, and the life of your loved one.
