Island stories: Ashes
Marina wrote:
Oh, yes, nice ones! Thanks, Britta! I was thinking of something very simple, like the metal capsule pendants on that site, but now I see all these alternatives... OTOH, if I'm going to wear it for a long time, I'd better keep it simple, so I don't look at it in ten or twenty years' time and go, 'what was I thinking?' Hmm, have to think about this some more. Another thing you can do in addition is to keep some of the ashes in a "keepsake urn". You can do a search for those, and it should bring up thousands of sites. |

Island stories: Ashes
I got tears in my eyes too when I read Marina's post.
