2. From Ashes to Trees
Nowadays many companies offer biodegradable urns with tree or wildflower seeds. The eco-friendly urns contains the seed of a tree in the upper half that germinates before the roots grow through the lower half section, containing the ashes. After the ashes are scattered or buried, the urn will naturally break down, allowing the seeds to grow into a living memorial, such as a tree or flowers.
3. Become One With Water
This is one of the finest ideas when it comes to uniqueness. Mixing the ashes with concrete to create an environmentally safe concrete reef, however, is usually not cheap. The reef, which serves as a nature habitat for fish and other sea life, usually ranges from $3,000 to $9,000. These artificial reefs not only provide habitat for marine life but also serve as a lasting tribute to the departed.
4. Diamonds are Forever
Cremation Diamonds are a unique way to remember the life of a loved one. The machinery involved and the process are the same as in a lab that makes synthetic diamonds from other carbon materials. The cost, however, may vary between $5,000 and $20,000. This process involves compressing carbon extracted from the ashes, creating a unique and enduring gemstone.

There are many firework companies, which can pack a portion of the cremation ashes into mesmerising fireworks. Usually some of the favourite songs of the deceased accompany the firework display. The prices vary, according to the preference level.
6. Use the Ashes to Make a Portrait
A wonderful way for paying an enduring tribute to your loved one. The ashes are mixed with the paint used to create their portrait. This is a quite preferred choice, knowing that when you look at the painting part of him or her is in the artwork.

Cremation ashes can be infused into tattoo ink, creating a permanent and personal tribute to the deceased. Work with a skilled tattoo artist to incorporate a small amount of ashes into tattoo ink.
