Watch the encasement and layering process that creates the signature “infinite staircase” look, then see the finished result.
Ash required: approximately ½ teaspoon.
Cremation marbles offer a beautiful and meaningful way to keep the memory of a loved one close. Each glass marble is individually handcrafted and infused with a small amount of cremation ash, transforming ashes into a lasting memorial keepsake that can be displayed, held, or treasured for generations.
Unlike traditional urns or containers, memorial marbles with ashes allow families to keep a small remembrance in a subtle and artistic form. The ashes become part of the molten glass during the glassmaking process, creating delicate internal patterns that make every cremation marble unique. No two glass cremation marbles are ever exactly the same, making each piece a one-of-a-kind tribute to the life it represents.
These handcrafted ashes marbles can be placed in a display bowl, kept on a desk, or held as a quiet moment of remembrance. Many families choose cremation marbles as personal keepsakes or share multiple memorial marbles with ashes among family members so that everyone can keep a meaningful connection to the person they love. Some families also create companion pieces such as cremation touchstones or wearable memorials like glass cremation pendants so several relatives can keep a personal tribute.
At Sands of Time, every marble with cremation ashes is carefully created by skilled glass artists who understand the importance of the memorial they are crafting. The result is a timeless piece of memorial glass art that honors both the beauty of handmade glass and the enduring memory of someone deeply loved.
