Mom Steel Pendant

Daughters and sons buy this one for the same reason: the word Mom is cut straight through the front of the pendant, so nobody has to ask what it is. The body is stainless steel, one inch wide and an inch and a quarter tall, which is larger than most keepsake pieces.

It loads from the top and holds about half a cubic inch. That is double the usual keepsake pendant, though still a token share rather than a full set of ashes. Sisters often order two or three so each of them has one from the same urn.

• Half a cubic inch is roughly a rounded teaspoon of ashes
• Engraving on the reverse is a paid option chosen here
• Order more than one if the ashes are being divided among family
