How to Fill a Cremation Jewelry Urn: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Set Up Your Workstation

Although the process may only take a few minutes, you should confirm that you have a functional workstation. Generally, you’ll want:

  • Flat space with plenty of room for the bag of ashes and other supplies
  • Clean area, free of clutter or dirt
  • Plenty of good lighting, including spotlighting if necessary
  • Effective ventilation
  • Minimal wind or drafts

You can easily make a workstation at a kitchen table or home office desk.

2. Gather Supplies

You’ll need a few supplies to fill the jewelry, although many of these are optional:

  • Towel to collect fallen ash
  • Funnel with opening small enough to fit inside the jewelry (or a small piece of paper rolled into a funnel shape)
  • Small sieve to remove big pieces of bone that could get stuck in the funnel
  • Toothpick to help settle the cremains in the urn
  • Plastic spoon to scoop the ashes into the funnel
  • Clothespin or other support to prop up jewelry that fills from the side or bottom
  • Screwdriver, if you have an urn that has a threaded closure
  • Superglue

If you’re filling multiple pieces of jewelry at the same time, make sure you have all the pieces at your workstation.

3. Open Your Cremation Jewelry

Before you open the container of remains, make sure that you understand how to open and close the urn. There are a few types of cremation jewelry urn closures:

  • Screw closure: Common, may require a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver
  • Bail cap: Screw closure that also attaches a pendant to a chain, easy to open and close by hand
  • Cork: May be opened and closed by hand with care

You may want to test opening and closing the urn once or twice, to confirm that you can do it quickly once the urn is ready for sealing.

4. Add Remains or Other Materials

At this point, you can add the remains or other materials. Aim to fill the urn about 80 to 90 percent, as any more could make the urn hard to close. To put a piece of cloth in the urn, you should flatten it, then roll it as tight as you can. If it won’t fit, consider cutting a smaller piece. If the threaded closure is large, you may want to use a brush or soft cloth to remove any collected remains before you close the urn.

5. Close Your Cremation Jewelry

Once the jewelry is full to your satisfaction, you can close the jewelry. Make sure you can close it fully, as you may not be able to seal it completely otherwise. Turn the bail cap so that it lays flat, or twist the screw until it sits flush with the opening. If your cremation jewelry keepsake has a cork, push it in until it is flush with the opening.

6. Apply Adhesive

Adhesive like superglue starts to cure rapidly, so never use glue while the jewelry is open in any way. For a bail top closure, slip the chain through the pendant and be sure the chain and pendant both lay flat before applying glue. For a cork closure, make sure the cork is inserted snugly into the opening. For a screw closure pendant, it is optional to apply glue. The screw will not open on its own because it is metal to metal and is a firm closure. Once the closure is firmly made and the pendant lays flat, put a very small drop over the screw, or over where the bail or cork meets the pendant.  Allow to dry overnight.
