Memorial Glass
Have your loved ones ashes put into glass
What is needed?
To create your custom glass piece, you'll need to provide less than a teaspoon of ash. However, to ensure that we have enough material for the process, we kindly ask you to send a tablespoon's worth of ash.(Please note that the amount you send should not exceed 50 grams.)
Any remaining ash after the glass-making process will be promptly returned to you.
Whats do you get?
A stunning solid glass sculpture that beautifully incorporates your pets ashes into an exquisite design of your choice.
Each custom order begins with a personalized sketch, ensuring that the final piece perfectly reflects your vision. (The glass will be made as closely to this).
You will also be sent a video and or a photo of your piece being made in the glass hot shop.
