Not sure I would do it but if it helps your niece maybe its something to think about. But its very early days.
A friend of mine has a few ashes of her mum in a locket and it helps her a lot. But its not something I would do. But we are all different and find comfort in many ways.
You will have very special memories Verdon, they will always be with you. You looked after and loved your mum very much and she knew that.
To some the ring may be creepy, others will be fine with it - the Victorian fashion of mourning brooches with locks of hair, or watch chains made of the hair of a loved one seem odd to us now, but were considered perfectly normal then. If that's what your niece wants to do then she should do it - we all handle things differently
My friend's ashes were fired over the village in a firework rocket - now every time anyone gets dust in their eye or a stone in their shoe they think of him
However, I think the tattoo is weird

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Verdun x I would like to echo the sentiments of all, you have been a good son, her pain is now over and she is at peace. I hope it won't be long until you are with all that happened.
So sorry to hear your news Verdun - but glad that you seemed to have some happier days with her over the last few weeks, when she was more like your old mum.
No views over the ring - but a plant to remember her is a nice idea. I planted one for my father and chose a richly scented viburnum which was always in flower for his birthday - it seemed more appropriate to me to celebrate his birthday (which was always a happy event) than to remember the day he died.

Topbird I'm the same, I struggle to remember exactly the date my dad died, his birthday is special to me and Father's day is something I try to ignore.

So sorry Verdun. You'll always remember that lovely smile she gave you a few days ago.
So sorry Verdun.I think that is very creepy too. Not something we would consider at all.
The memories will always be with you, you will never forget.
I'm so sorry to hear your news Verdun. No matter how old we are when we lose our Mum: it's hard . They leave a hole in our lives.
Warmest wishes to you.
