How it’s made
Chris Santora creating memorial glass art with ashes in his studio
In the studio
Chris creates each memorial at a bench torch using clear borosilicate glass, often known as Pyrex. A small amount of cremation ash is blended into crushed colored glass, and clear molten glass is gently dipped into that mixture. The piece is then fully encased in clear glass using a scientific glassblowing technique called imploding, permanently sealing the color and ash inside the glass.

Questions About Cremation Keepsakes

What is a cremation keepsake?

A cremation keepsake is a small memorial item made to hold, display, or preserve a portion of cremation ashes. Cremation keepsakes can include glass art, ornaments, paperweights, touchstones, jewelry, and other meaningful pieces made in memory of a loved one or pet.

How are ashes used in memorial glass keepsakes?

Ashes are used in memorial glass keepsakes by adding a small amount of cremation ash during the glassmaking process, then sealing it permanently inside the finished glass. Human ashes and pet ashes can both be used. In the finished piece, the ash may appear as soft white, snow-like details, tiny bubbles, or subtle texture within the design.

Are cremation glass keepsakes handmade?

Yes, cremation glass keepsakes are handmade by artists using glassblowing, flameworking, casting, or other glassmaking techniques. Because each piece is made individually, the color, shape, ash pattern, and small details can vary, making every memorial glass keepsake unique.
