If your mom's last wishes were to be cremated and you would like to purchase an urn that commemorates her life and some of the accomplishments she achieved and would like to provide guests at her memorial service with small tokens that will help them remember your mom, the options below may be helpful.

Write A Poem And Have It Inscribed On An Urn

Write a simple poem that describes your mother and special accomplishments that she made during the course of her lifetime. When selecting an urn for your loved one, inquire about having the poem inscribed on the urn's exterior.

During the cremation ceremony that is held for your mother, you can place the urn in the front of the room and display a photograph of your mother next to it so that people who attend the event can appreciate the items as they remember your mother. After the ceremony is over, display the urn inside of a china cabinet or on a shelf. Add lighting near the urn to draw attention to it. 

Purchase Jewelry Pieces That Have Miniature Urns Attached

If you would like to provide loved ones with a constant reminder of your mother, purchase jewelry pieces that have small urns secured to them. A pendant or bracelet that contains an urn will be cherished by recipients and can be worn on a regular basis or during special occasions when people would like to honor your mother. When ordering the jewelry, choose to have your mother's name and the date of her birth and death inscribed on each miniature urn to provide each jewelry piece with a unique and personalized touch. 

Make Copies Of A Photograph And Have Them Framed

Look through family photographs that you have accumulated over the years and choose a close up of your mother that was taken recently. Visit a photography studio or film processing business and order copies of the photograph. Purchase glass-covered frames to place the copies inside of. Place the framed photographs inside of crates and set the crates in the the front of the room where the ceremony will be held.

After guests arrive for the ceremony, hand out the photographs. Ask the guests to hold onto the photographs throughout the ceremony. Encourage people to concentrate on the photographs as they remember your mom during the event. Each person who receives a frame photos can hang their picture from a wall in their home or can display the photo on a small easel that is set on a shelf.
