Cremation Locket

I was asked to explain what a "cremation locket" is. Mortuaries sell them and you can also buy them online. Some are actually jewelery that is made from the ashes themselves. Others, like mine, are gold or silver and have a very small amount of the ashes inside of them. The one I got from the mortuary is sterling silver and is smaller than I thought it would be. The ones I've seen online are bigger and they have a screw-on top. Mine is "bolted" together. I had never heard of them either until some online friends told me about them. The are a lot less expensive if you buy them online than at the mortuary.
