Choosing Engraving On Cremation Jewelry

Adding engraving to cremation jewelry is a great way to increase the personal nature of the jewelry and create a memory that is unique to your loved one.  We have some great tips and ideas to help you choose the engraved text that is right for you!

Selecting Engraving - Questions To Ask

There are some questions you can ask yourself to help you find the right engraved text for your cremation jewelry for ashes.  Whether it’s choosing how you want to remember your loved one, how you want the engraving to make you feel or honoring the role they played in your life, we can get you moving in the right direction.

How do you want to remember your loved one?

One of the most straightforward ways in which we remember our loved ones is by their names.  First names, last names and nicknames are a great option for personalizing memorial jewelry.  Dates are also significant and you can select dates of birth or death, an anniversary date or any date that holds special meaning.


What emotion do you want to evoke?

One of the most personal ways that we remember our loved ones is through our emotions.  If love is the emotion you want to capture, think nicknames, a pet name, phrases such as ‘love always’ or ‘forever’.  Joy is another great emotion.  Engrave a phrase they spoke that makes you smile or choose a phrase that honors their passion such as ‘hole in one’ or ‘goal’.


What role did they play?

Engraved text can honor the role they played in your life.  ‘Momma’ or ‘Pops’ can be engraved to honor a parent.  Choose a pet name or term of endearment for engraved text to remember a spouse.  A nickname, term of endearment or a sports number is a terrific option for engraved text when remembering a child.


Other ideas for engraving

In addition to the suggestions above, some other ideas might be:

  • First, middle, and last name
  • Birth date and death date
  • The relation to those around them, i.e. husband, father and uncle
  • A remembrance phrase, i.e. ‘forever in our hearts’ ‘love always’ ‘rest in peace’
  • A favorite saying from the bible, i.e. ‘our eternal strength’ ‘peace be with you’
  • Symbols such as the infinity symbol or a heart

Outside the Ordinary - Photo Engraving

Photo engraving is a great option for those looking for a personal way to enhance their jewelry.  Virtually any image that you select can be engraved and it provides a visual way to honor the life of your loved one.
