The History of Cremation Keepsakes

Page 5: Memorial Cremation Keepsakes and Memory Lamps

Where did it be begin?Before Cremation keepsakes and jewelry there was memorial jewelry. This can be traced back to the 15th century, but it wasn’t until Queen Victoria reigned in the 16th century that keepsake jewelry began to evolve.

Why was memorial jewelry used?

When her husband Prince Albert died, Queen Victoria spent the rest of her life memorializing him. She wore black clothing (widow weeds), custom designed black gemstone jewelry and a ‘mourning ring’ as public display of her grief.

The Victorian Age is replete with relics of the age depicting women in varying stages of mourning by adorning themselves with similar pieces of jewelry and clothing that the queen wore. While this practice diminished after the queen’s death, the wish to

remember a loved one lives on.

More than five centuries later, the importance of capturing the essence of a moment, a life or a pet has

exploded in its importance.

Photographs, the written word, medals, a collar, sculptures, and men and women’s

cremation jewelry are prime examples of how we remember a person or pet who was close

to us.

When planning or creating a memento for family or friends, simply

look around your surroundings to find

inspiration, particularly if you are in the process of pre-death planning.
