Keepsake Urns

Our keepsake urns complement our cremation urns

Service Actuel offers a selection of reliquaries, also called keepsake urns, which are a direct complement to our selection of cremation urns. It is important to know that the reliquary is often a miniature copy of the urn chosen by the family. It is, in fact, a smaller version that can include the ashes of the deceased.

Keepsake urns are containers designed to hold relics, the ashes of the deceased. In the past, reliquaries contained the body, a part of the body, a piece of clothing or an object that belonged to a saint. The keepsake urn could take the form of a coffin, a box, a vial or a capsule to preserve the ashes.

In current modern-day funeral context, reliquaries are a miniature version of the urn chosen, they are in fact jewels that serve to hold a portion of the ashes of the deceased. It is also possible to place a lock of hair or a piece of cloth from the deceased’s favourite garment in a reliquary; ask your consultant to agree on the number of reliquaries desired and certainly on the contents.
