A loved one's ashes can be divided among locations. Portions can be scattered somewhere special, buried in a cemetery, placed in a niche, kept at home in an urn, made into art, sent into space, memorialized at sea and much more. Ashes can also be divided among family members; some families purchase small keepsake urns or cremation jewelry, so that each person has a reminder to hold onto. Your funeral director can help you with ideas for ashes.
