Two lovely pieces of memorial jewellery we’ve helped create this week. A cross pendant in the Irish flag colours and a beautiful ring both made to the families exact wishes.

We offer the EverWith memorial jewellery range and using just a tiny amount of a loved one’s ashes or hair we can create a meaningful and lasting personal item that you can keep close to you always.

For a brochure or to see a sample please contact us or pop into one of our funeral homes - Wimborne, Verwood, West Moors, Westbourne, Canford Heath and Ferndown 01202 882134
