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 item description states which artist makes that particular item. If you are unsure of which artist is making your order, please review the listing for that item. You may also call or email us to confirm.
How long does it take to complete an order?
Please review your artists calling card found on the Artist Information page for their current turnaround.
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 clearly write your full name (not the name of the deceased) and telephone number on the actual zip-lock bag in permanent marker so our staff can easily identify your package.
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?
If you're working with artist Chris Santora, your ashes will be safely stored at his studio for future orders. For all other artists, they are instructed to hold onto the ashes for up to 3 months 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 be sent Priority Express Mail.

Each piece is carefully flameworked by hand on the torch in Gregs own lampworking studio. After screening out the finest ash for each encasement, Greg uses borosilicate color and clear glass to achieve stunning optical effects in glass that allow you to see the ashes scattered throughout the layers of glass.

Greg works from his home studio in Wilmington DE. After training through Salem Community College’s Scientific Glass Program, Greg worked during the day in a local scientific/production glass shop for roughly 5 years while getting his glass business off the ground - finally taking it full time in July 2020. With a thirst to learn as many techniques as possible, Greg built a reputation and style that can be seen in stores and private collections across the nation and abroad. Greg’s passion for glassblowing and strong attention to detail is showcased in his exceptional memorial glasswork. Since 2015, Greg has been perfecting the delicate techniques of encasing cremated remains of humans and pets alongside vibrant colored glass to create unique works of art that celebrate the lives of those we love most.
