Dear Tweety,
This depends on the intent you have.
If you intend by this to give your parents more honor and devotion than you give to God, that would be the sin of idolatry. But barring that, this is a very Catholic thing to do, especially if your parents were faithful Christians.
In that case what you have is a relic, and relics have a long and storied history in the Christian Church. For example,
Keeping the hair of saints, venerating them, and using them to heal people has always been a part of the Church. When we believe and follow the Lord, it transforms not only our souls but our bodies as well, and they become instruments of God's grace.
So, I suspect this is a very Catholic sensibility you have.
