How much of the ashes are required to create something?
For most orders, we only require a single tbsp. of the ashes (total) to make between 7-10 different pieces. Our rings and pendants utilize roughly 1/4 tsp. per item, while our paperweights and suncatchers each use around 1/2 tsp. When ordering from multiple artists, please send 1 tbsp. of ashes to each corresponding artist. This is to ensure each artist has enough ashes to extract the usable material.
How do I know which artists are making my order?
Each product listing is labeled with the artist who makes that particular item. If you are unsure of which artist is making your order, please review the listings for the items in your cart. You may also call or email us to confirm.

How do I properly mail cremated remains?
1) The package is sent via Priority Mail Express.
2) The identity of the contents "Cremated Remains" should be marked on the address side of the parcel.
3) Ashes should be mailed in double (2) zip-lock bags. This ensures that the remains won’t escape from their containers and cause damage, discomfort, destruction, or soiling.
4) Please include a notecard with your full name (not the name of the deceased) and telephone number inside the zip-lock bag for easy identification. If a notecard is not available, you may also clearly write this information directly on the bag in permanent marker.
5) Optional: A photograph and letter about your loved one. We would love to know about their life, personality, character etc. Whatever you feel like sharing, we want to hear about it 💙
Can you use more than one set of ashes to make a single piece?
Yes, we can use multiple sets of ashes to create individual items. There is no extra charge for this. You may send the ashes premixed or separated. Whichever is easiest for you. Please be sure to include a note in your package so our artists are clear on how to create your items.
What will happen to the unused portion of the ashes?
Our artists are instructed to hold the unused ashes for up to 90 days before scattering them locally. We're committed to handling your loved one's ashes with the utmost care and respect throughout the entire process. The US Post Office requires cremated remains to be sent via Priority Express Mail.

These Memorial Sun Catchers are created by a process of hand cutting and cold working sheet glass and then firing it at temperatures around 1400 degrees. This process is time-consuming and takes anywhere from 5-7 days to create. The glass soaks in high temperatures to anneal the glass giving it the strength and durability to last for generations to come.
Meet Joele (pronounced Joe-Lee), a professional artist, art teacher, and mom with a passion for kiln-formed glass. Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, Joele moved to Arcata, California, where she honed her skills as an artist and art teacher, becoming an integral part of the Fire Arts Center community art workshop. She resided in Arcata for over a decade before relocating to her home in the mountains of Gold Hill Oregon.
Joele is a veteran glass artist with over 17 years of experience in kiln-formed glass. Her interest in working with cremation ash started when a friend's father passed away and was asked to create something special with the ashes. After spending over three years studying cremation ash and its effects inside kiln-formed glass, Joele began offering her services for free to family and friends. Following her mother's passing, Joele felt a calling to make her cremation art available to the public.
