ASHES
HANDLING
PROCESS 

After losing a loved one or a beloved pet, it can be a difficult time processing grief and collecting the ashes. Hands-on assembly of moving the cremated ashes might be emotionally confronting. Every keepsake order comes with an ashes kit - this includes a miniature funnel, miniature scoop, tooth-pick and polishing cloth. The thought of moving the ashes into a pendant is not for everyone, even as a trained professional in the funeral industry, it was difficult to open my own pet's ashes months after he passed away. 

 

OPTIONS:

Option One: DIY 

The most common option is you fill your keepsake pendant - Every keepsake order comes with our kit - this includes a miniature funnel, miniature scoop, tooth-pick and polishing cloth.

 

Option Two: Sending to Us

Sending a small amount of ashes by courier - once you have placed your order, we will send you out a prepaid courier bag. Once received, you organise a small amount of ashes and send it back to us. We will do everything else, document the process, then send photos by email on completion. We will courier the keepsake pendant back to you, and any remaining ashes.

​

Option Three: Local Collection

Tania is a Registered Mortician contracting in the Auckland area. With your consent, she can gain access to funeral homes, to obtain a small amount of cremated ashes, before family collection - this removes the need to send by courier. Please email tania@ravenandco.nz for more information, and to arrange this option.
