Ashes pendant gold 'Cross'

A cross you can carry with you

Sometimes you want something tangible close to you. Not as a replacement, but as a connection to the bond you shared. This gold ashes pendant in the shape of a cross holds a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from the grave, so that connection travels with you wherever you go.

Crafted in 14-carat gold

This ashes pendant is designed and hand-finished by experienced goldsmiths who have worked within the funeral profession since 1993, collaborating with crematoria and funeral directors both in the Netherlands and internationally. That depth of experience shows in the detail: the proportions, the finish, and the way the cross holds its simplicity while carrying real weight. The 14-carat gold gives the pendant the durability to be worn every day, year after year.

The cross as a personal symbol

For many people, the cross carries religious or spiritual meaning. For others, it represents something quieter: steadiness, connection, a faith of their own kind. If the person you are remembering had a Christian background, or if the cross simply speaks to you of strength held through loss, this is not an arbitrary shape. It is a considered choice, one that says something each time you wear it. The pendant can be worn on a chain or displayed under a glass dome designed for the purpose.

Practical and secure by design

When the contents are irreplaceable, you need to know the pendant is reliable and properly sealed. Here is what to expect in practice.

Filling and sealing the pendant

The compartment is accessed by unscrewing a section of the pendant. A digital filling guide is included with your order, walking you through each step of filling and sealing the piece securely. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, a family member, the crematorium, or your funeral director can help. It is worth noting that funeral professionals may charge for this service.

Caring for gold

Gold is a noble metal. It does not oxidise and stands up well to moisture, which makes it well suited to daily wear. To keep it looking its best, wipe it occasionally with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh cleaning products, which can dull the finish over time.
