When my husband passed away unexpectedly 11 months ago, I had to make so many quick decisions.
When it came to deciding on what to do with the ashes, I was exhausted.
So I took my time and pondered. I spoke with my children, friends, and eventually decided on scattering his ashes on an old camping area he loved.
He’s at peace now. And so am I.
This article is for anyone unsure about what they should do with their loved one’s remains. I’ve listed 52 great ideas, some are traditional while some are quite out there.
Take your time and choose something that brings you and your family peace.
My Personal Favorites
I know some of you don’t want to read through the whole article, so I decided to make a short list of my favorite memorials. I am someone who appreciates art, so these memorials tend to be handmade which makes them a bit more personal & special for me.
- Handmade ceramic urn: I just love how much work & care goes into these urns. They’re one a kind pieces of art for me.

- Handmade wooden urn: Timeless memorials that come from nature to produce a beautiful tribute for anyone.
- Scattering the ashes: There’s something very peaceful knowing that your loved one’s spirirt has been laid to rest in meaningful place.
Cremation Urns
Some of us like the idea of keeping the ashes at home nearby on mantel or table.
It’s quite a cost effective and convenient option. If you decide to move, the container can be transported easily.
The size, design, and price of an urn can vary quite a bit.
I would recommend buying online because it’s cheaper and there’s some to choose from.
Here are three urns that are really popular online:
Memorials4u Elite Cloud Blue and Silver Urn:A best seller on Amazon, this handcrafted urn comes highly recommended by happy customers.
It’s high quality, very affordable, and can fit the remains of an adult weighing up to 200 lbs.

Interment Of Ashes
You may decide to go with a traditional option and bury the ashes.
Cremation has continually increased, so many cemeteries now have a section specifically for burying the ashes.
Of course the plots are much smaller, cost less, making it more economical and environmentally friendly.
This is a great option if you’re somewhere in between the traditional burial or cremation decision.
Columbarium Niche
Also called cremation niches, a columbarium is an elaborate monument which stores the remains.
In most cases, each alcove is large enough to hold the remains, and sometimes a few small keepsakes that belonged to the deceased.
They are usually located in cemeteries, churches, and funeral homes.
Make A Tree With Their Ashes
Did you know that you can turn your loved ashes into a tree? Amazing right? They’re called tree urns.
Having their ashes nourish and give life to a tree is a gratifying gesture.

This could be the ultimate way of keeping someone close to you.
Although an individualistic method, you would literally have your departed with you for eternity in about the closest way possible.
A small amount of the ashes are mixed in with the ink that illustrates the person’s name or even their image on your body.
They are literally under your skin, but in a good way.
Cremation Jewelry
There are two ways of combining the ashes with jewelry. You can place a small amount of the cremains into the jewelry, such as a locket.
The other way is having the ashes mixed with the actual materials used to construct the jewelry.
Then have it made into the piece of jewelry of your choice. Necklaces are popular because you can keep them close to your heart.

Ideas for Letting the Ashes Go
It is sometimes thought of as a spiritual sentiment. It’s a way of setting your loved one free to become one with nature.
Below are only a few ideas you might consider.
Scattering At Sea Ceremony
This is a very popular option for a cremation ceremony, where family and friends can get together to pay their last respects.
There are actually boat companies that specialise in this type of ceremony.
For more information about this type of ceremony, you can read our scattering ashes at sea guide.
Scattering in Water
If a boat ceremony is not your thing, you can still scatter in most bodies of water. Just be sure to check the rules for scattering ashes in you area before.
Biodegradable Urns
If you’re scattering in water, be sure to use a biodegradable urn for water. These urns will make sure the whole process goes smoothly and that you don’t end up harming the environment.
Scattering at a National Park
A beautiful resting place for anyone who loved being outdoors in nature. They do have a few guidelines though which you’ll need to check first.
But it’s worth the hassle of a little paperwork, in order to place the ashes amid the amazing beauty of a protected and natural environment.
The National Park Service has many parks listed on their website including their stipulations.
Skydiving Scattering
What would be more appropriate for the adventurous and free spirited person?
Imagine how he or she would love having their ashes scattered while free-falling from two miles in the heavens.
Vase Urn
If you love flowers or candles, a vase urn would be a lovely idea for the cremains. They are made with a compartment in the bottom to place the ashes.
You then place the candle or flowers on the top. Your loved one will always have fresh flowers and a shining light.
Cremation Diamond
What girl doesn’t love diamonds? These are made using conditions that mimic the way the earth makes them-with extreme heat and pressure.
They typically turn out a bluish color, due to boron, which is in bones. Leave it solitary or have it crafted into a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Interested? Check out our Cremation Diamonds Guide.
Pencils
Amazingly, approximately 240 pencils can be manufactured from a cremated body’s carbon.
Each one is stamped or engraved with the deceased person’s name and come enclosed in an attractive box.
You can only remove one pencil at a time, which is sharpened when you insert it back into the box. Eventually the box containing the shavings, becomes the urn.
Ancient Burial Site
If you fancy burying your loved one in the same manner as their ancient ancestors, you should check out Sacred Stones located in Bedfordshire, England.
They have created a momentous site for a final resting space.
It basically contains columbariums that are like no other, which replicate the ancient burial sites of our ancestors.
This tranquil underground location is constructed with walls of limestone and huge stones and is lit throughout by candles.
It would be difficult to find a more captivating and serene location to spend eternity.
There are more locations under construction and others are planned for the future.
Out of a Plane
Commonly referred to as aerial scattering, it’s becoming a popular method. It provides a means of widespread scattering over a specific location chosen by the deceased or the family.
Most pilots who specialize in aerial scattering have an apparatus attached to the plane, which efficiently spreads the ashes.
Fireworks
Your loved one’s passing is not only a time of grief, but also a moment to celebrate their life. There’s no better cremation ceremony idea than doing that than with fireworks.
Imagine watching their ashes light up the sky in brilliant color as family and friends watch. A great choice for someone who was full of energy and life.
Launched into space
For the person who dreamed of being an astronaut, the possibility of going into space is within grasp. And this can happen when they have passed on.
There are a couple of companies that are gearing up for send-off.
A small amount of the ashes are launched into outer space and then circle the earth for several months.
Eventually they will vaporize as they re enter the earth’s atmosphere.
Ashes on the Moon
Did they love you to the moon and back?
A company named Celestis are sending remains up to the moon.
Imagine how you will feel every night when you gaze upward and know that they are actually there.
A Flower Urn
A unique and lovely approach to burying cremains at sea, different than the usual method of pouring them from an urn.
A flower of a substantial size is created from a special biodegradable paper with the ashes attached.
It is typically released into a lake, river, or in the ocean from a boat.
You can watch the lovely flower float atop the water for a while and then gradually sinks as it dissolves.
Vessel
Have you have ever thought that sending a burning ship into the sea with a Viking warrior aboard?
You’ll be pleased to learn that it’s definitely a possibility. These ships are replicas of the real thing.
Additionally, many people place flowers or items that were special to their Viking on board with them.
To be even more authentic, be sure to set sail as the sun sets behind the horizon and have a sip of ale as it floats away.
Unique Ideas For Cremains
If you consider the previous ideas to be different, they are about to get even more out of the ordinary.
Many different concepts still remain that you’ve probably never seen or thought of before now.
Some of them are already available for purchase. Others are ideas that people dreamed up for their own ashes, which will no doubt catch on in time.
Ashes used by 3D printer
Long gone are the days when your choice of ash containers was limited to urns and boxes.
With this 3D technology, your urn is custom made into almost anything you can imagine, including a likeness of the deceased, a celebrity, hats, favorite car, or whatever they loved.
An appealing semblance is made from a ceramic or plastic material containing the ashes.
Wine
Here’s a great idea. Maynard James Keenan, the lead singer of the band Tool, decided to scatter his mother’s remains over his vineyard. He later named one of the wines after her.
Frisbee
Ed Headrick was an inventor who figured out how to improve the flying ability of an unknown disk toy, from which the Frisbee was born.
He left instructions that after his death, his ashes be mixed into the plastic and a batch of Frisbees manufactured for his friends and family.
Made into Music
Did your loved one have a particular song or band that they loved?
Ashes can now be compressed into a vinyl record, which holds a recording of your choosing. Of course, you’ll have to know someone that still has a record player.
Reef
Did they love to snorkel or scuba dive among the beautiful coral reefs?
Now they can become part of those reefs and spend eternity beneath the ocean water they loved so much.
The ashes are mixed into cement that is molded into a design, which replicates the reefs.
In addition, it becomes a habitat for many species of marine life, replacing the ones that have been damaged or destroyed.
Bullets
Was someone you know an avid hunter? What better way to memorialize him than with a box of ammunition containing a bit of his ashes.
Maybe you could finally snag that big buck with one of his unique bullets.
Stained Glass
What if you could wake up each morning and have your morning coffee as the sun along with your loved one shines through a beautiful stained glass window.
That is literally possible by adding their ashes to the glass as it’s created.
Creative & Unusual Urns
You may find some of these unusual, but maybe the deceased was unique. Most of these next urns reflect how he or she lived.
Time Capsule
Another one for those who loved the ocean. In a time capsule, they will rest on the ocean floor for eternity.
This is a charming urn, which will hold not only the ashes, but also some of the person’s mementoes.
How fitting would it be for a former military officer to be buried with his medals or a ball player with his glove.
Motorcycle Urn
If they a biker, there are plenty of motorcycle related urns out there. If that’s too tame for you, here’s another idea.
Laying him to rest in peace in his bike’s gas tank may be the perfect urn, especially if it has a nice custom paint job.
He’ll be remembered for the way he lived, with hair blowing in the wind.
Toolbox Urn
How about a mechanic or someone good with their hands. He most likely loved his toolbox and would be pleased to know his ashes can be contained in one.
Hour Glass Urn
A stunning hourglass sitting on the mantel would be a wonderful way of displaying your loved one’s ashes.
It will remind the family to live their life to the fullest with the time they have.
They will also reminisce about the happy times they spent with their departed.
Pringles Can
Fredric J. Baur, the inventor of Pringles Potato Chips, requested that his cremains be kept in a Pringles can. So if you’re a Pringles lover or you have a very low budget- if it’s good enough for Fredric, then why not?
Eco Urn
An Eco urn is typically used for burying cremated remains. They are constructed with organic materials, which easily breaks down in soil.
Ecopod makes one that resembles a large acorn. It’s made from molded Kraft paper and has a secure lid that makes it also great for displaying.
Personal Urn
You no longer need to worry about forgetting what they looked like over time. This urn will remind you every day. The urn is created from picture and facial recognition software to look just like your loved one. A little creepy? Well, yes. A unique idea? Definitely yes.
Papier Mâché Urn
You can purchase one of these, but wouldn’t it be great to make it yourself? Papier mâché is a popular craft and easy to learn. It an opportunity to design and create an individualistic representation of a loved one. Perfect if they were into hippies and shabby chic.
Shell Urns
These beautiful urns are crafted with biodegradable materials in the shape of a seashell, which contain the cremains. It can be buried, but they are usually placed into a body of water where it floats for approximately five minutes or longer. It then begins to sink while gradually releasing the ashes.
Pizza Box Urn
We put them in a Pringles can, so why wouldn’t we put cremains in a pizza box. If you love pizza and who doesn’t, why not spend eternity in a pizza box? Just make sure everyone knows what’s really in the box.
Pet Cremation
While these ideas are intended for people, there’s no reason you couldn’t use them after cremating a pet. Pets like dogs or cats become part of the family, and so paying tribute to their life is important.

I love the idea of the reef memorial and I found this company on the west coast called Living Reef Memorial. It would have been helpful to have that information in your article. Thank you.

I’d like my ashes to be mixed into a flush plaque but don’t know what kind of plaque materials ashes could be mixed with any ideas?
This is more of a ? than a comment. I am 72 and l have been worried about my son’s ashes. He passed away at age 42 just 4 years ago. I need to get his ashes to a final place before I pass away. I don’t have a lot of money. Can anyone help me figure this out. Thank You
Where would you like his final resting place to be?
Make arrangements for him to go with you when you pass.
Where do you live? I’m not sure what I can do, but I’ll certainly do what I can to help you with this.
I’m o here because I lost my sister Christmas and now my nephew her son has died. So, her remains now go to me. So, I’m looking around too and maybe I could help out.
Some people choose to have their loved ones ashes buried, scattered or entombed with them after they pass away.
My mother has recently passed away, her wish was to be cremated. My father wishes to be buried when he passes away and he wants mams urn to be buried with him, the urn will remain in tieir home now for what we pray will be a very long time till that day, I could think of nothing more special.
I took my husband’s ashes to a steam railway where we often went for days out. They let me ride on the footplate with a friend on one of the locos and I put the ashes on the fire. I was able to blow the train whistle when it was done. I kept a few of the ashes back and had a special pot made by a wood turner. It was made from wood from the grounds of one of our special places.
What an enlightened train crew! A beautiful sendoff.
Recently lost a friend who loved to ride his motorcycle with his brothers.. I searched and searched for a st. Columbanus (patron saint of motorcyclists), or even a st Christopher medal with a place for ashes so that his brothers could all have something to take with them when they rode. Any idea where I can find something like this? It would really mean a lot to them.
I found some great motorcycle urn jewelry for my husband’s ashes so all his family and friends could keep him close on their bikes from Forever in my heart 6015 Chester circle suite 202 Jacksonville Fl. 32217. They were perfect and reasonably priced and fast delivery. Hope this helps you So sorry for your loss
Did you ever find this???
i like the Stuffed Toy Keepsakes idea. They should have a larger size teddy like the size of a body pillow and have it so it could hold more remains
Love this idea, might just try it
I was surprised to read that cremation art is a popular way to memorialize your loved one. It makes sense that this would be popular because you can beautifully display this in your home. My husband is getting pretty old, and I don’t see him living too much longer. I am going to ask if he would rather be cremated or buried! I’ll start looking for a funeral home to help me with this.
I recommend seeing if there is a burial society in your state that can help you with this rather than a funeral home.
I am searching the internet desperately to find a teddy bear cremains urn for my partner who just passed unexpectedly. I can’t stand the thought of separating his ashes or putting him a traditional ern. I love the idea of the teddy but can’t find on that will hold 88kg of ashes. Can anyone advise please.
You could consider not putting all of the ashes in to just 1 item. When my Mom passed I bought small (blue, her favorite color) and spread the ashes into several bottles I decorated with rub on gold flowers. I shared her with her fiancé, my brother and her 3 sisters! I spread some of the ashes in her backyard . She passed in 2010. I am going to have some of her ashes made in to a ring! I get to choose the type of ring and the color of the stone! Cost is less than $200! Sorry for your loss. I hope this helps a little.
I spent years fighting wildland forest fires. I still cherish the memories, and thought how cool it would be to have my ashes mixed with a load of fire retardant and dropped by plane on a going wild fire. My loved ones could then, over the years, watch the rebirth of the forest after the devastating event, and think about me.
This is a lovely idea!
When our dog passed we buried her in the back yard the kids placed special rocks they found, some we painted, and that was it. A month later a pine tree started growing on her grave and we decided we would put up barriers and that would be her tree…well a couple years have passed the house burned down and we were forced to move. Then my husband unexpectedly passed. I have decided to transplant the little Charlie brown Christmas tree with his name carved carefully into it, to our property in the woods, where he can hunt fish and camp for eternity.
I was interested in knowing more about the Stained Glass, the cost involved and Who would you recommend, please and Thank you
I had a friend who asked to have his ashes spread over his favorite Garden., So at 4:20 one afternoon, his buddies did just that.. Later that fall, when they rolled one up, they could reminess with every toke..
The cremation company helped submit permit of scattering ashes. Can we change our mind after the vital statistics with the place of final exposition is submitted? If yes, do we need to submit this change to somewhere? Can we do some scattering and save some? Can we do the scattering from any boat or a one registered for scattering service? Please advise or give a pointer. Thanks!
Yes, there is more paperwork involved. Most funeral homes, cemeteries or corners office are willing to help with the proper paperwork.
I would love to scatter the ashes of my beloved husband high up on a mountain/canyon in November while looking for information about scattering and the permits needed I found a company that takes care of all of this for you. They do the scattering while the family watches in amazing locations, we talked to them the other day and we are going to be going to the grand canyon for the scattering. They are sending us a scattering kit and tube to fill up with the ashes and they get the ashes to the location so we don’t have to worry about the regulations of flying with the ashes. We feel like so much has been lifted off of our shoulders while going through this difficult time. welllived.com/collections/destinations
Thanks for the idea to make a tree with the ashes. My family and I need to find a cremation service for my aunt. I’m glad you shared these meaningful ideas so I can discuss them with my family soon.
If you are searching for the perfect idea for what to do with your loved ones ashes after cremation, then this option could be music to your ears. And Vinyly, a UK-based company, offers people the chance to immortalise their loved ones by having their ashes pressed into playable vinyl records.
These are all amazing ideas. I was wondering about turning human ashes into bone china. It’s traditionally done with cow bones, so I was wondering if anyone made porcelain from human ashes as a memorial.
It’s a very hard decisions but decided to put my husband’s ashes in a native garden at the cemetery we got a companion plaque so i shall join him when my time is up . But did keep small amount of ashes in a tealight candle urn there are many beautiful designs many people havnt heard or seen them.
I want my bones chromed out and turned into a motorcycle.
I love the idea of having my son cremains spread over a growing 420 garden. But how can i find a grower ? Any suggestions?
My brother was an avid hunter! So for years he has told me that he wants us to have a party, celebrate his life, have a few drinks and then…
He wants his friends and family to take turns shooting guns at his box of ashes to scatter them!
Well he recently passed. And nobody wants to fulfill his wishes. So I am taking some ashes upnorth to our old place in the woods. I’ll have a few drinks in his honor. Then I will try to aim at a small bottle of his ashes and see if I can scatter them w/a bullet. But if I fail then I’ll just scatter them into the wind myself! At least I will have honored his wishes and no matter what his ashes will be on the land he loved so much growing up. The place where he learned to hunt w/my dad!
That’s awesome!!!!! I love it when a person can honor a person’s wishes (even if they were spoken without real knowledge of passing soon or not). I understand to some that that sounds unorthodox or “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT SORT OF THING” to some, in reality though, no matter how it sounds, that’s what the person wanted or thought would be how they would like to be honored. That’s cool though, I hope you were able to do it and get at least that one last good memory “with” him.
My dear friend who is terminally ill wants to have her ashes in paper lanterns and let go over the beach.
The problem is that it’s too much weight for the delicate lanterns. Any engineering ideas?
Thanks
I want to do the tattoo how do i get the information?
Hello Tandi, you need to call tattoo places and check to see if they will do it. Some will, some won’t. I am having one done shortly but they will only use a minimal amount of ashes. For me, it is something rather than nothing and it will mean a lot to have any part of him with me. (my son).
Love this idea I still have my sons ashes after 4 years and would love a tattoo from them
How would we freeze ashes for the purpose of disposal at sea without ashes blowing all over?
Maybe do a paper mache type object. It’s easy to do, you can find directions online. Then it’s also biodegradable! So sorry for your loss.
My cat, Mittens, who has been my best friend for the past 8 years passed away in my arms yesterday and I am waiting to get her ashes back from a local crematorium. Urns are a bit too much financially for my family so I am getting a bottle from a pet store along with some polymer clay that I will use to decorate the jar. Only the best for Mittens
Can you make a glass infused windchime with my husband’s ashes?
Looking for blue jays for ashes
I want to do the hourglass or frisbee one. How do I proceed
My husband wanted to be buried in the Gulf of Mexico. Feet in a cemented bucked, nude. He would say , “I have eaten fish my whole life, I just want to give back.”
The was a real possibility. We had him cremated. Now for my idea as to what to do with his ashes. In his younger years he was quite the drinker. So I have decided to get a bottle his favorite, clean it out, then add his remains. Afterward I will display the bottle in the “nautical” section of my home.
My dad and uncle both passed away recently.
My uncle left me his Harley, so I am having their ashes put into paint and going to paint the tank. My dad riding to my left and my uncle riding to my right.
Could you tell me where to find a watch for a women that holds ashes . We want to get mom a watch to hold her sons ashes in so she can have him with her
Put ashes in a pool stick or in the balls themselves
About a year ago I decided upon cremation. Some time ago my account flashed me an advertisement for some beautiful stones holding ashes. I suppose it will now be very difficult to find. but would surely like to take another look as I had planned they would be good to have my ashes shared between my thee children. But during looking what other people have had in mind, I stumbled upon the idea of tattoos. Wow! All three have tattoos. Now for them to check out their local artists. But am still interested in the rocks so if you are out there – – – -.
I have a double grave site which I was gift several years ago. One of the graves has been used leaving only 1 spot left. I have always hoped that my husband passes (I’m on hospice) my children could sprinkle our combined ashes on my parents grave ( I own their grave site also). Do you have any suggestions what I should prepare for.
My husband and I took my dads ashes to the mountains. A certain place him and his friends would go in his younger years. My dad always had the Canadian flag on his truck. I took one along with us. Placed the flag where we spread his ashes. I also stopped at the store,before our drive. I bought a shiny silver helium balloon. Wrote on it . Rest in peice dad. Let the balloon go. It flew higher than the mountain!
It has been almost a week and I haven’t heard from your representative, I was called on Monday informing me that I would be contacted. Is there anything I need to do?
I want to put half of my father’s ashes into an hourglass. Would half of his ashes fit in an hourglass? Who do I see to make this happen? Thank you.
Before my wife died, she told me she wanted her ashes sent into deep space; but , only after I died and my ashes were combined with hers; and, sent to space together. I granted her wish and sigend a contract with Celestis. When I die, our ashes will be combined and sent to Celestsis where they will be placed on a spaceship and sent to deep space. They will leave the Solar System and travel forever. My wife said then when the kids want to see us all they have to do is look up!
Before my husband passed, he told me he wants to be cremated an put I in with his mom. But at the cemetery they told me , th3 law is there’s has to be 18 inches down in order to put him in with her. But there was only 11 inches, so we couldn’t put him there. So just to put him across the path from her. It would cost 18.000. Dollars. So my , so my husband loved his garden so much at home , I brought him home, an now I’m looking for a nice garden urn . I have the perfect place to put it. But no luck I want to put him in an outdoor solar fountain garden urn. Any suggestions. Thank you
My father loved a good bottle of rum. I bought a fine bottle (both the look of the bottle and rum inside), we drank the rum at his celebration of life and then I placed some of his ashes in the bottle.
I also had some beautiful cremain glass art made, scattered and shared some with family. Do what makes your heart happy in their memory.
Can I get a picture frame that holds all the ashes and a large photo?
