Cherished Keepsakes: Treasured Memories of Your Loved Ones

At Quantock Funeral Directors, we understand the importance of preserving the memory of your loved ones in meaningful and lasting ways. Physical keepsakes offer a tangible connection that can bring comfort and solace during difficult times. Here, we explore a range of keepsake options, including some unique offerings we provide at no cost, as well as additional services from specialised companies that can help you create personalised mementos.

Complimentary Keepsakes from Quantock Funeral Directors

Fingerprint Cards:

We offer individual cards featuring the fingerprints of your loved one. These cards serve as a unique and personal reminder of the individual’s presence and can be cherished for years to come.

Locks of Hair:

Another complimentary service we provide is the preservation of locks of hair. Tied in a ribbon, these hair locks can be kept close and serve as a poignant reminder of your loved one's physical presence.

Personalised Jewellery

Ashes into Jewellery:

Several specialist companies can transform a small amount of your loved one's ashes into stunning pieces of jewellery. Options include rings, pendants, bracelets, and earrings. Each piece is handcrafted to create a unique item that can be worn daily, providing a constant reminder of your loved one.

Fingerprint Jewellery:

Similar to our fingerprint cards, fingerprint jewellery allows you to carry a part of your loved one with you. These pieces can be customised with the actual fingerprint of your loved one, etched onto metal surfaces such as pendants, rings, or charms.

Glass and Crystal Keepsakes

Ashes in Glass Art:

Incorporating ashes into glass art is another beautiful way to memorialise a loved one. Companies offer a variety of options, including paperweights, vases, and orbs. These pieces often feature swirls of colour intertwined with the ashes, creating a stunning and personalised piece of art.

Crystal Memorials:

Crystal keepsakes, such as engraved crystal blocks or spheres, can encapsulate a photo or a meaningful quote along with a small amount of ashes. These elegant pieces serve as a beautiful tribute that can be displayed prominently in your home.

Other Unique Keepsake Options

Memorial Teddy Bears:

For a more comforting and cuddly option, consider memorial teddy bears that contain a small compartment for storing ashes or a lock of hair. These bears offer a gentle way to hold onto the memory of your loved one.

Personalised Memorial Books:

Create a personalised memorial book filled with photographs, letters, and stories about your loved one. These books can be a collaborative effort, inviting friends and family to contribute, ensuring a rich and detailed commemoration.

Handwriting Jewellery:

Some companies specialise in creating jewellery engraved with your loved one’s handwriting. This can be taken from old letters or cards, adding a deeply personal touch to items such as bracelets, necklaces, or keyrings.

Memorial Garden Stones:

Engraved garden stones or plaques can be placed in a garden or other special outdoor area, providing a serene place for reflection and remembrance.
