Memorial Glass Jenny Wren

Memorial Glass Jenny Wren with Ashes

The Jenny Wren can be seen hopping around our gardens most days, inspiring joy and happiness. They are nimble little things, never staying in one place for more than a second or two before hopping away searching for food. Their explosive song, commands immediate attention, as if to say Hey, over here! I may be small in size, but not in personality..

They are discreet yet prominent, these individually hand blown glass birds are stunning.

The Memorial Glass Jenny Wren contains a small amount of your loved ones ashes amongst shades of brown and beige colours with a touch of golden sparkle as if shimmering in the sunshine. They are handmade in Devon by craftsmen with years of experience.

The Jenny Wren birds are a lovely size that fits perfectly in your hand, such a tactile memorial item and has a good weight if you also wish to use them as a paperweight.

Keeping the ashes

Many people keep their loved one's ashes at home, some because they are not sure what to do with them, some because they are not yet ready to do something with them and some simply want to keep them close by, in the house. Sometimes, very well meaning, friends will give advice such as 'it's time to move on' or 'you'll feel better if you scatter/bury them'. But only you will know how you feel about the loss of your loved one and only you will know when and if the time is right to do something else with the ashes.

Splitting the ashes

It is worthwhile thinking about keeping some of your loved one's ashes, as long as there are no religious reasons. You can scatter or bury most of the ashes on a favourite walk perhaps, or at sea or on a favourite holiday. But if you keep a small amount back you can memorialise when you are ready. This will give you more time to decide what you want to do as your feelings may change over time.
