Cremation Jewelry can easily be filled by you and the instructions below will take you through it
step by step. However, if you are uncomfortable doing it yourself, you can go to a funeral home
and they will do it for you.

Opening the Jewelry
Among the most common ways that cremation jewelry can be opened is by simply unscrewing the top
threaded bale. The bale portion of the jewelry urn is the part that the necklace -- or chain or cord --
goes through, as seen on this first image here. This design is a discreet way to open cremation
jewelry.   Once the ashes or other contents (such as dried flowers, lock of hair or earth from a special
place) are placed inside of the jewelry urn, the use of an adhesive to permanently seal the urn
pendant is strongly encouraged
Another common method of opening and sealing cremation jewelry is by a small threaded screw.
These threaded screws are normally located on the bottom or back of the urn pendant. Placing a
threaded screw on the back or bottom of the keepsake urn is often selected so as to not compromise
the design of the cremation urn jewelry piece. Many pieces of cremation jewelry that have threaded
screws do not have bales---thus, the most common reason for having a threaded screw opening.
Because of the small nature of threaded screws, it is recommended that you gently open and close
the keepsake urn. By gently handling threaded screws, you can avoid the possibility of damaging
the threads on the cremation pendant.

Filling The Jewelry
Filling cremation jewelry is typically done with the assistance of a small funnel.   Most memorial
jewelry includes a small plastic funnel which can be used to help transfer the cremains, dried flowers,
lock of hair, or earth from a special place.   In addition to the funnel, a small object such a paper clip
or toothpick can be used to assist the ashes to pass from the funnel into the cremation keepsake.

Sealing The Jewelry
Most cremation jewelry pieces are designed with a secure seal.    However, if you anticipate the
cremation pendant will come in contact with water, then the use of non-water soluble glue is
encouraged for the sealing of the cremation keepsake. Also consider that moisture can accumulate
in or around the threads. This too can slowly cause the pendant to become unglued.
Sealing the pendant is done simply by applying a very small portion of adhesive (such as super glue
or epoxy) to the cremation jewelry.   The adhesive should first be placed on the threads of the
cremation jewelry instead of the actual bale or threaded screw.   Since the bale or screw is typically a
small piece, it can be difficult to handle with adhesive.   For this reason, we also recommend placing
the adhesive inside of the threads first.
