Cremation Keychains & Urn Keychains for Ashes

They always had the keys. You heard them before you saw them: the jingle at the back door, the ring set down on the counter, the truck starting in the driveway before anyone else was up. Some of the people we miss most never wore jewelry a day in their lives, and plenty of the people who miss them do not either. A cremation keychain keeps a part of them with you, on the ring that goes everywhere you go: the commute, the school pickup, the errands, the long drive home.

Cremation keychains are also called urn keychains, keychain urns, or keychains for ashes, and they all work the same way. Each one in this collection holds a small, symbolic portion of ashes in a hidden chamber with a secure screw off top. They are made in solid 316L stainless steel, which will not rust or tarnish on a ring that gets handled all day, and the Murano glass butterfly pairs its glass front with a stainless steel back. The chamber can also hold a lock of hair, a bit of fur, or sand from a place that mattered. Every order arrives with a mini filling funnel, instructions, and a display box, and ships free in the United States.

Keychains for the people you miss

The Always In My Heart keychain is the one families choose most, a heart with the words already on it. The Angel Wing Cross is for a loss held in faith, the Tree of Life carries a symbol long associated with family and roots, and the Owl with rhinestones and the Murano Glass Butterfly suit someone who liked a little color and shine. If you are choosing one for your father, our cremation jewelry for Dad collection gathers the pieces families reach for most.

Pet urn keychains

A keychain is a natural way to carry a pet, because they went everywhere with you anyway. An urn keychain is the piece our founder wished he had after losing his childhood cat; he has written about wanting to keep one of his whiskers inside a paw print keychain. The My Best Friend dog tag, the paw shaped keychain in silver, gold, rose gold, or black, and the heart with pet paws all hold ashes, fur, or a whisker. You will find more in our pet cremation jewelry.

Make it theirs

Most keychains can be laser engraved in Oregon with a name, their dates, or a short phrase. Add Personalized Engraving from the Jewelry Add-Ons box on any product page. Engraved orders can take up to seven extra days. Because a set of keys is handled all day, we also recommend Cremation Jewelry Sealant, which makes the seal permanent once the chamber is filled.

One for every set of keys

Only a small portion of ashes is needed for each keychain, so families often order one for each person: a brother in another state, a daughter who just got her license, the friend who did all the driving that year. If you would rather wear them close, our cremation necklaces and cremation bracelets are there too, and you can browse all of our cremation jewelry for ashes. If faith is part of how your family is handling the ashes, our guide to religious views on cremation can help.

Keep them close, on the way out the door and on the way back home.

I promise I'll always remember.
