Cremation Touchstones
Comfort Stones with Cremation Ashes mixed into the GlassAs the rise in popularity of cremation as a form of disposition continues, more and more ideas are coming forth as ways to commemorate the life of a loved one. Cremation art is one of these new innovations that allows families a way to create a tribute that is as permanent as it is visually stunning. One of the most popular forms of this cremation art is jewelry that is made of glass, and permanently encases the ashes of a lost loved one. The reason that the cremation art jewelry is becoming so popular is that it allows individuals to carry a small amount of the essence of their lost loved ones in a 'vessel' that has permanently secured the treasured contents. But what about those of us who are not particular to any type of jewelry? This is where cremation touchstones offer a keepsake that is small enough to carry along where ever life may take you, but still protect the ashes in a way that is extremely secure. Cremation touchstones are crafted in a very similar manor as many of the jewelry pieces. An artist works with the ashes, permanently infusing them into the center of the keepsake, along with a color of your choice, then layering it with a layer of clear glass, to secure the ashes entirely, and provide a smooth, comforting surface to the piece. These touchstones can be taken just about anywhere, as they are relatively small in size and low in weight. A new addition to this exciting line offers a 'set' of these stones, which families can share amongst themselves. Some have even travelled with these charming stones, leaving a stone where ever they have been in honor of their lost loved one; this is such a beautiful way to remember that world traveler. A cremation touchstone offers us not only the comfort provided by a 'worry stone', but also a secure way to hold a loved one near at all times. These elegant pieces are works of art within themselves and will keep happy memories at hands reach. |
