A crematorium is offering people the chance to turn their loved ones into jewellery.

The Vale Crematorium has partnered with EverWith to create ultra-personal keepsakes.

Grieving families will now be able to purchase “memorial jewellery” which incorporates the ashes of their beloved, including rings, necklaces, earrings, and cufflinks.

Catherine Linfield, site manager of Westerleigh Group’s Vale Crematorium, said: “We are very pleased to be working with one of the UK’s largest memorial jewellery companies.

“A big part of grieving is finding a way to honour and keep their loved one with them.

“Creating a piece of jewellery with their ashes, whether it is a ring, bracelet, earrings, charm bead or cufflinks, will provide them with a personal keepsake to forever cherish.

“Anyone with the ashes of their loved one, even if their service did not take place in our crematorium, can still contact us to learn more about how their ashes can be used to create a beautiful and unique piece of jewellery.”

Jonathan Burton, director of EverWith Memorial Jewellery, added: “My team and I are delighted that The Vale Crematorium has recognised us for our beautiful memorial jewellery and also our growing status within the UK funeral industry. 

“Our focus will always be to offer beautiful, affordable and extremely high-quality memorial jewellery, backed up by our brilliant trade and customer service teams.”
