Losing someone you love is one of life’s most painful experiences. In times of grief, we search for ways to hold onto memories and feel connected to those who are no longer with us. An urn necklace—also known as cremation jewelry for ashes—offers a deeply personal and meaningful way to carry a piece of that love wherever you go. At YFN Jewelry, we understand that memorial jewelry is more than just an accessory. It’s a tribute, a keepsake, and a silent promise that your loved one’s memory will never fade.
What Is an Urn Necklace?
An urn necklace is a small pendant designed to hold a tiny portion of cremated ashes, a lock of hair, dried flowers, or even a bit of soil from a meaningful location. These necklaces are worn close to the heart, symbolizing an eternal bond with someone dear.
While traditionally used to preserve the ashes of a loved one, urn necklaces for pets are also a popular way to remember beloved animals who’ve passed away. Whether for a parent, partner, friend, or pet, a memorial urn necklace offers emotional comfort during the grieving process.
