The Oceanside Memorial Collection with ashes was created for families honoring someone whose life, memories, or spirit were deeply connected to the ocean. These beach-inspired memorials combine cremation ashes with coastal elements such as sand, seashells, wood, resin, and personalized details to create a peaceful tribute that reflects the comfort of the shore.
Each ocean memorial is handcrafted by artist Kat using a small portion of cremation ashes blended into the sand during the creation process. Families may choose artist-provided sand and shells, or they may send their own meaningful sand, seashells, small keepsakes, or a photo to be incorporated into the design.
These ocean memorials with ashes can include a personalized name, date, quote, scripture, or short message. Some designs may also feature pet-inspired details such as paw prints or footprints in the sand. Families who appreciate this style may also explore our memorial keepsakes or pet memorials with ashes.
If you are sending sand from a meaningful beach or coastal location, we recommend sending roughly three-quarters of a cup of sand. A little more or less is usually fine, but around half a cup to one cup gives the artist enough material to work with. Please package the sand securely in a sealed bag or container for shipping.
Families typically send around 20 small seashells for the artist to choose from when designing the memorial. Shells should be one inch or smaller and packaged securely for shipping.
Yes. Families may include meaningful details such as photos, seashells, beach sand, names, dates, quotes, scripture, paw prints, footprints, or short personalized messages within the memorial design. These additions help create a deeply personal tribute connected to meaningful memories and places.
