Working with ashes
Our work with human and animal cremation ashes began by happenstance when ‘Tiny,’ a huge bear of a man, brought in all of his past pets’ ashes in a huge shopping bag and requested a garden ball for his partner. We had no idea then that this would lead to ongoing, meaningful work creating unique memorial ashwork pieces to commemorate loved people or pets. We approach each item we create with a spirit of compassion for those who are grieving and acknowledging the meaningful lives that we’re memorializing.
If you’d like to get a sense of what it’s like to work with ashes in glass, you can watch our video 'Recreating Oscar with his Ashes.’ To find out more about our ashwork, including the variety of pieces we create, the process and timeline, and our philosophy and approach, visit ashcreationsbylumel.com.
