Is jewelry removed before burial?
Typically when the deceased’s body arrives at the funeral home, all personal items, including jewelry, will be removed, inventoried, and placed in a secure location until they can be given to the executor or the family. If the deceased is to be cremated, no metals will be permitted on the body during the process.
Can a body be cremated with jewellery?
Metal jewellery and the nails which hold the coffin together are non-combustible and therefore will not be broken down during the cremation process. Since the jewellery is non-salvageable and won’t form part of the ashes, it’s advisable to separate it from the deceased before the cremation.
Are people cremated with jewellery?
During a cremation Crematoria advise that jewellery is removed to prevent loss or irreparable damage and in the case valuables are left with the deceased, it is at the families own risk as crematoria do not have responsibility.

How does jewelry get passed down in your family?
In my family the jewelry is generally passed to the natural daughters. But on occasion a wife by marriage gets a piece. My mother got a very nice watch from my paternal grandmother that way. Basically my grandmother thought of my mom as her own daughter.
What does it mean to pass jewelry to a new Stepmom?
I know of a situation where the jewelry passed to the daughters, and one daughter gave the new stepmom a piece as a symbol of the childrens’ acceptance of her into the family. But I think in that case, the deceased had been in the habit of trading/passing around jewelry and they thought it was “something mom would have done.”
What happened to the jewelry hanging from a funeral home employee’s pocket?
The police, who had been called to the deceased’s home at the time of death, took notice of that chain hanging from the funeral home employee’s pocket and quickly confronted the man and recovered the deceased’s jewelry on the spot. The man had taken approximately $1,000 of jewelry from the deceased’s bedroom.
Who do you give mother’s jewelry to?
I believe mother’s jewelry generally goes to the daughters, if any. They very often want it for closure/symbolism/whatever. If you, the son, want some for whatever reason (“Honey, this belonged to your grandmother…”), perhaps you and you sister should share.
