Artistic Handmade Cremation Urns & Keepsakes in Blown Art Glass

There are lots of handmade cremation urns and keepsakes to be found if you search for them, but few are as uplifting as the ones you'll find in these pages.  Inspired by forms and textures found in nature, these beautifully crafted hand blown glass cremation urns and keepsakes are signed by the artist.  Each cremation urn or memorial keepsake has its own unique and uncommonly artistic attributes, with ethereal finishes and enchanting motifs that are blown right into the glass vessel. 

The full sized urn’s upper sphere is made to contain small mementos separately from the ashes, such as a wedding ring, a lock of hair, a poem, or any other small, meaningful personal item.  The mini urn memorial keepsake can hold a small portion of the cremains, if scattering or sharing of the ashes is chosen. The niche urn, at 10 1/2" tall, is sized to fit within a glass-front columbarium niche that has a standard interior height of 12".  The heart keepsake is made in solid art glass to match its corresponding full sized urn, and may be laser engraved on its highly polished back.  Any of these artistic pieces will enable you to create a special and inspiring permanent memorial to your loved one.



The Designer collection of handmade cremation urns and memorial keepsakes have been created to help your family find an inspired reflection of the personality of your departed loved one.  Such an exquisite handcrafted cremation urn will provide a wonderful focal point during a funeral, memorial service, or celebration of life.

After the funeral, families most often wish to keep their urn close to them, where it blends into their home environment seamlessly as a beautiful and uplifting piece of art.  Such a luminous piece of art can be integrated into the home on a fireplace mantel, in a china cabinet, on a bookshelf, or any other appropriately distinctive or meaningful location.  Families usually choose one of our urns because they intend to display it somewhere in their home where it can become a part of their day-to-day life.

Some people will choose scattering the ashes in a place that has been especially enjoyed by their loved one, in which case they will often choose to keep only a small amount of the ashes within a memorial keepsake such as a mini urn or a cremation jewelry pendant. It should be mentioned that if a scattering ceremony is the method chosen for commemorating the loved one and committing the ashes, the family could assign one family member or close family friend to the duty of checking that scattering is allowed in the chosen locale.  Some families have chosen one of our urns to be used as a scattering vessel, after which it can become a memorial piece of art within the home, or a decorative vase that will conjure beautiful memories every time it is filled with a bouquet of flowers.

Still others choose to “inurn” into a glass front or stone front columbarium niche located either at a cemetery, in a funeral home, or in their church.  This option gives friends and family the ability to visit their departed loved one in a comfortable, quiet and sacred atmosphere at any time when the building is open.  If this is where you plan to display the cremation urn, it is advisable to ask your cemeterian, funeral director, or clergy member about the interior height of the niche, to confirm a height that will ensure a proper fit.  Our niche urns have a flat top, and measure about 10 1/2" high.

The art glass heart can make a comforting keepsake, because it fits perfectly into the palm of one’s hand, for quiet moments of loving remembrance.  The heart keepsake can be prticularly appropriate as a keepsake gift for children, as it is made of solid art glass, so it contains no ashes, and its back is highly polished so that it may be laser engraved with the loved one's name and a few thoughtful words.

These Designer handmade cremation urns and keepsakes are made and signed by high caliber acknowledged glass artists.  We believe in healing through beauty, and it is our hope that one of our handmade cremation urns or memorial keepsakes will become a consoling focus for honoring your loved one with an exceptionally beautiful final resting place.
