Memorial Glass · Custom Commissions

A memory made permanent.

Some people keep a photograph. Some carry a keepsake. Memorial glass offers another way to hold onto someone you loved. I can incorporate a small amount of cremated remains from a loved one or companion animal into a custom piece of borosilicate glass, transforming them into a permanent part of the artwork.

It is a way to carry a small piece of someone you love with you, quite literally.

Made for one person, one memory

Something personal, not something off a shelf.

Every memorial piece is designed individually. We can talk about the person or animal you are remembering, colors that have meaning to you, and the kind of object you want to create. The goal is not simply to place cremated remains into glass. It is to make something beautiful and lasting that feels connected to the life and memory behind it.

Memorial commissions generally range from $100 to $300, depending on size, complexity, colors and design. More elaborate work can be quoted individually.

How it works

A careful, personal commission process.

I keep the process direct and personal. We develop the idea together before anything is made.

1. Tell me about the memory.

Share who or what you are remembering, the type of keepsake you want and any colors or imagery that carry meaning.

2. We shape the design.

I’ll recommend size, form, colors and construction, then confirm the price before work begins.

3. I make the piece.

A small amount of customer-supplied cremated remains is incorporated into the glass as part of the custom work.

Memorial work uses cremated remains supplied by the customer. Customers are responsible for ensuring they are authorized to possess and provide the remains. Shipping and transfer instructions are confirmed directly before any remains are sent.
