The Memorial Art Creation Process

A respectful and transparent journey to create your unique glass tribute, with your loved one's ashes handled with the utmost care and respect at every stage.

​

Your loved one or indeed a beloved pet's ashes can be incorporated into almost any of my existing designs, or I would be happy to work with you to create something personal and bespoke.  Would you like to know more about how ashes are incorporated into glass?  Read my guide to memorial glass with ashes.

Step 01

Memorial Kit

Choose your piece and once your order is placed, I will send you a secure memorial kit containing a small container for the ashes, simple instructions and pre-paid return packaging. Only a small amount of ashes is required.

Step 02

Created with Care

Your loved one's ashes are carefully integrated into the glass by hand in my Hayling Island Studio.  Your ashes remain clearly identified and are treated with care and respect throughout.

Step 03

Kiln Fired

Your piece is slowly kiln fired and carefully annealed over many hours, permanently capturing the ashes within the glass and creating a unique memorial to treasure.

Step 04

Safely Returned

Your finished memorial is carefully packaged and returned to you by tracked and insured delivery, together with any unused ashes.

Your peace of mind matters.  Any ashes not used in your memorial pieces are always returned to you, and your loved one's ashes are carefully identified and handled personally by me throughout the entire process.

Preserving a Beautiful Legacy

Heartfelt Client Stories

I am honoured to have helped families remember and celebrate their loved ones through the enduring beauty of glass. Here are a few of their stories.

"Amanda treated my Dad's ashes with utter respect and care, the finished glass pieces are stunning.  Dad's wave sits on my windowsill where he can be with me every day.  Amanda also created handheld pocket hearts for all the grandchildren.  I cannot recommend Amanda's memorial work enough"

- Emma

"I genuinely don't have the words to thank you enough.  What you have created with my dog's ashes is more than just beautiful - its a little piece of them that I can hold onto forever.  Knowing their ashes were handled with such care, love and respect means everything to me.  The wave is simply perfect and something I will treasure for the rest of my life.  I will be forever grateful."

- Katrina

"Thank you again for making my wave - I absolutely love it!  I've put candles behind it and it looks amazing when it's illuminated.  The photographs really don't do it justice. It's such a beautiful piece and I am so pleased with it."
