Sensory Glass Cremation Touchstone with Ashes

Trusted by families since 2011

$179.00

Handcrafted by Greg L.

This glass cremation touchstone is made with your loved one or pet’s ashes permanently sealed inside, designed specifically for holding and touching throughout the day. The edge has a ring of smooth raised bumps for your thumb to trace, and the back has a subtle textured pattern – both give you something to focus on when you need grounding.

Carry it in your pocket or purse, or hold it during difficult moments. The weight, the texture, the motion of your fingers across the surface – it adds up to something that offers a sense of calm when you’re missing them.

A glass memorial touchstone that understands grief isn’t just emotional, it’s physical too.

How it’s made
