Discover how we combine our techniques, molten glass and memories to create a lasting tribute.

We believe that a memorial should be as unique as the life it represents. The journey of every Ashes into Glass memorial begins in the heat of our furnace in our workshop at Barleylands, Billericay. Here, our expert craftspeople transform your loved ones ashes into a beautiful tribute.

 

Creation

Our glassmakers work with molten glass at 1200°c. It is here that the cremation ashes are carefully layered with coloured glass crystals. By using our own unique, patented processes alongside traditional glassblowing techniques, we ensure the ashes are beautifully preserved in glass.

 

The Finishing Touch

Once the glass has cooled slowly to ensure its strength and durability, each stone is expertly cut and polished by hand. This process requires patience and a keen eye for detail,  bringing out the depth of the colour & the unique cremation ashes inside.
