One best way to memorialize a deceased loved one is by making use of cremation urn rings. These rings are basically rings that contain a part of the cremains of a loved one. The idea might seem a bit odd at first but these rings are actually gaining in popularity. They come in different shapes, sizes, and designs so you are sure to find one that fits your personal taste.
When we lose a loved one, we may be overwhelmed with feelings such sadness, grief, and denial. It can be hard to deal with these feelings even though we inevitably have. The fact is that it is not always easy to accept the loss of a loved one.
However, we have the ability to keep the memory of such a loved one alive in our hearts and minds. A keepsake cremation ring is one way to do just that.
Reviews of the Top Rings for Ashes
There are many rings that are available and suitable for your loved one’s or pet’s ashes. We took a good hard look at many different options and narrowed them down to this list of five choices.
Path to Heaven
The Path to Heaven is a sterling silver cremation ring from manufacturer Perfect Memorials. It features beautiful sparkling cubic zirconia stone accents.
While the design of this ring makes it a beautiful piece of jewelry that could be used as something to help keep the memory of a lost love one fresh in its own right, the fact that it can hold a pinch of their ashes makes it that much better.
Some people like to use it for something other than ashes. For example, you can still memorialize a loved one by keeping a small portion of burial soil, dried ceremonial flowers, or a lock of hair.
Here are some more highlights of the Path of Heaven ring:
- threaded screw helps keep the ashes secured inside
- ashes stored in a subtle way to avoid unwanted attention or questions
- design suitable for both men or women
- available is several different sizes
That’s some good stuff.
ExtraordinaryReviews’ Opinion
The manufacturers claim each ring is produced individually with a high level of attention given to the accuracy and quality. It shows.
If you are looking for a well made cremation ring for ashes, you can consider this as a seriously good option.
Tiny Heart Memorial
The Tiny Heart is a name that fits this ring perfectly. It is made corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel.
It can be used as either a simple attractive ring or as a keepsake ring as it has the option to store ashes of either a loved one or pet that has passed. It has been designed for the latter of course.
In all honesty, one of the most attractive aspect of this particular ring is that it’s not gaudy or overbearing in any way. It’s unassuming yet classy.
Here are some more highlights of the Tiny Heart ring:
- waterproof featuring a screw and rubber gasket design
- includes a gift box making it a wonderful ring to keep or give away
- everything needed to fill it like a screwdriver funnel and are included
- available in several different sizes
The craftsmanship and presentation for this product is really impressive.
ExtraordinaryReviews’ Opinion
There’s not much to dislike about this simple yet beautiful ring. It looks great, allows you to memorialize a passed family member or friend, and it’s unbelievably affordable.
If you’re on a tight budget this is a no-brainer. But, it’s a really solid choice even if you have more to spend.
Minicremation Heart
This is another take on a heart ring design, this time from the brand Minicremation. It too is constructed from high-grade stainless steel.
If you take a close look it appears as if the ring itself is two arms that are lovingly holding the heart at the center. It’s a very attractive design.
The heart is actually a miniature urn, which is where you hold your loved one’s ashes. It’s accessed via a small screw located at the top of the heart.
Here are some more highlights of this design by Minicremation:
- manufactured to be waterproof to protect the ashes you house inside
- available in multiple colors such as silver, gold, rose gold, and black
- comes complete with tools needed for filling
- 100% satisfaction guarantee from the manufacturer
This is a surprisingly complete and attractive package for its price point.
ExtraordinaryReviews’ Opinion
You cannot really go wrong by choosing this keepsake ring. It looks great, offers several different colors to suit your personal preference, and will not set you back financially.
It’s very comparable to the Tiny Heart ring above making choosing between the two a matter of preference and nothing more.
Crystal Inlay Heart Memorial
If you have yet to realize there’s a very common theme among most cremation rings. Here is another one featuring a heart design. This one is brought to us by Constant Life.
This ring serves as a remembrance ring and it is made with the same 316L stainless steel and the Tiny Heart version above. It is a littler different in its own way though.
Upon first laying eyes on it you can see the rhinestone inlays on either side of the heart. It makes the ring really pop and makes it a bit more flashy than some more simple heart style memorial rings.
Here are some more highlights of this design by Constantlife:
- comes complete with a filling kit and instructions to help with the operation
- it’s shipped in a classy dark blue box making it suitable for gift giving
- the manufacturer will add a customized engraving if you contact them
- includes a 30-day quality guarantee so you can purchase safely
This is another amazingly feature rich ring that won’t make you dig too deep into your wallet.
ExtraordinaryReviews’ Opinion
As another heart-themed bang-for-your-buck option, it’s hard to find anything negative. It’s a very nice ring that will serve the purpose of helping you remember a loved one, a pet, or even a special day while looking great.
It’s durable and make to last, and if you take care of it, you’ll most likely be very happy with your selection for many years to come.
Tree of Life Urn Ring
If the above heart-shaped urn rings aren’t your style, this Tree of Life design may suit your fancy.
The design is a little more subtle that a the heart styles above, but it still promotes the idea of eternally memorializing your loved one. You can load it with ashes or any other keepsake from the opposite side of the tree, so the opening is hidden from view when you wear the ring.
Here are some more highlights of this design:
- available in different sizes from 6 to 9
- arrives with a gift bag and polishing cloth
- made from S925 sterling silver
- band engraved with “forever in my heart”
This is a very affordable and attractive option for you if you aren’t really into the typical heart designs.
ExtraordinaryReviews’ Opinion
The other choices we reviewed are more of the standard as to what people expect when they seek out a keepsake ring, but this Tree of Life design is a great alternative. Since it is made of sterling silver, it’s designed to last as long as you take proper care of it.
The company also makes a bracelet with the Tree of Life design if you aren’t impressed with any of the rings on this page.
In Summary
From the five cremation rings reviewed above, there’s sure to be one that meets your preferences. You have several choices in design, in materials used, and in price points.
