How Do You Send Ashes for Memorial Jewellery Safely?

For many families, this is one of the most emotional parts of the process.

“How do I safely send ashes for memorial jewellery?”

It’s completely natural to feel nervous about placing something so meaningful into the post. We understand that deeply.

That’s why we have created a process designed to feel simple, secure, and reassuring.

Only a Very Small Amount Is Needed

Memorial jewellery requires just a small pinch of ashes, no more than a teaspoon is ever needed.

This means you are not sending a large quantity, only what is necessary to create your piece.

If you would like reassurance about how much is required, you can read our guide on how much ashes are needed for keepsake jewellery here.

You Will Receive an Inclusion Kit

After placing your order, you will receive a thoughtfully prepared inclusion kit containing:

- Clear step-by-step instructions

- A secure container for your ashes

- Guidance on safe packaging

- Recommendations for tracked delivery

Everything is designed to remove uncertainty and help you feel confident.

How Should Ashes Be Packaged?

We recommend:

- Placing ashes into the secure container provided

- Sealing it carefully

- Placing that container inside the box that was sent

- Using a tracked postal service for peace of mind

Many families choose Royal Mail Tracked or Special Delivery within the UK.

What Happens When Your Ashes Arrive?

When your inclusion arrives:

- It is logged immediately

- Stored safely and individually

- Never mixed with any other order

- Handled with complete respect

We understand this is not simply a parcel, it is something entrusted to us.

Will Any Ashes Be Returned?

Yes.

Only what is required to create your jewellery is used. Any remaining ashes are carefully packaged and returned securely with your finished piece.

A Process Designed Around Trust

Sending ashes can feel daunting. But you are never alone in the process.

If you would like reassurance before sending anything, we are always here to guide you gently.
