Ashes To Glass
Our Cremation Ashes In Glass art memorial is a touching keepsake for a loved one. Part sculpture and part artwork, some of our pieces are mounted on the wall, some are for displaying on a shelf, table or desk. To the casual viewer, the sculpture will look like a beautiful piece of glass artwork, but those close to you will be aware of the emotional significance of the piece. Scattered throughout the glass piece are small flecks of cremation ashes, offering a reassuring keepsake for those dealing with grief and loss.
UNIQUE MEMORIAL ARTWORK
We create cremation ashes in glass art memorials in our studio and by hand. There are a wide variety of glass art memorials to choose from, including stunning wall art designs, glass keepsakes to hold or hang in the home, and standing glass keepsakes to display on a surface, all with your own precious ashes in glass sculpture.
Each of our glass art pieces are unique, made independently to order just for you, and contain the ashes of your loved one. The ashes can be seen within the glass and are a meaningful way to create such a special tribute.
BESPOKE DESIGNS
Each of our glass art memorials are designed by master glass artist Siobhan Jones. The beauty of glass means that no two pieces are the same, so your order will be one of a kind. The glittering ashes visible within the glass artwork add to this, making a memorial as unique and precious as your loved one.
The careful and expert work that goes into creating these important artworks takes years of specialist training. Each individual piece of glass is hand-cut and lovingly placed into your design. The glass is then melted in a kiln to encapsulate the ashes within.

EXPERTLY MADE JUST FOR YOU
We make all of our glass art memorials from scratch in our studio and workshop. We hand cut and arrange every piece of glass and carefully place the ashes throughout the piece. The glass and ashes are then heated in our specialist kilns which melt down the glass into the ashes so that they are permanently fused into molten glass. When the glass has cooled we then finish the piece . We can engrave many of our glass art memorials with a message or name. All pieces that are engraveable have an option for this on the website. The ashes are visible within the glass, so you will enjoy the comfort of feeling that your loved one is always close.
ASHES INTO GLASS ART FAQ
What is memorial glass art?
A piece of memorial glass art is a sculpture or keepsake object made from glass that contains the ashes of a loved one. We can create memorial art glass from the cremation ashes of pets or people. We offer a wide range of designs, including large-scale wall art and small keepsake pebbles. Each piece of memorial glass is handmade in our workshop by expert glass craftspeople. We select the glass based on the chosen colours and then hand cut the glass and melt it down within kilns to create the sculpture. The ashes are then scattered through glass before it is fired in the kilns.
How do you make glass from ashes?
The memorial glass is not made from ashes, but rather the ashes are contained within the glass. This is a superior choice to resin memorial artwork, as it is long-lasting and will not break down over time. Resin is unsuitable for memorial artwork as it is a plastic that will degrade over time, allowing the ashes to escape. Unlike resin, glass will not discolour or fade over time or in the sun. Our glass ashes artworks are designed to be durable and will last a lifetime or more with the right care. To create our glass artwork with ashes, we select pieces of clear and transparent glass, scattering the cremation ashes through the glass work which is then melted, encapsulating the ashes forever. The ashes remain suspended in the glass after it is cooled, polished and finished.
