Sad Poll...

[ETenebris]

I have been away from tPF for a while, but I need an opinion and I know I can always count on you to provide one. My best friend was murdered on December 26th in a murder-suicide by his step-father. He had told his mother and I that if anything ever happened to him he wanted no services and to be cremated. So no services were held. My sister told me about cremation jewelry, and I would like to purchase a small necklace to hold a tiny bit of his ashes. I know it sounds morbid and perhaps a bit strange. Has anyone here heard of this? I would like to know which pendant you all prefer in terms of actual size. It would be silver or white gold (despite the gold pic). Thanks.

I'm so sorry! That sounds horrible. I don't think it's creepy or weird at all... Let us know what you choose

I am so very sorry for your loss. I think either piece is nice.

Either piece is nice. How are you holding up?

 

[ETenebris]

I am holding up alright, thanks. As well as can be expected. Very angry, sad, heartbroken.

My heart goes out to you Not that it gives much comfort, but I believe he is in a better place

As for the pendants I would prefer the left one (shown in gold). It looks more sophisticated and elegant, worthy of it's cause..

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I think the necklace is a beautiful way to remember your friend and not morbid at all. I think the second necklace is beautiful.

I'm so sorry to read your sad news.

Either would be lovely. I love memorial jewellery and think it's a beautiful idea.

I am so, so sorry for your tragic loss. I like the one on the left, but either one will honor your friend - go with the one that speaks to you. This is not fashion, it is soul.

It's not morbid or weird . . . I prefer the 1st one.
