Benjamin Giguere melds cremated remains into a work of memorial glass art, giving a new, transcendent meaning to the phrase "forever in my heart." You send a teaspoon of your lost loved one's ashes to his studio in the provided kit. A glassblower heats glass in the furnace to a molten state, removes it to add a thin layer of the ashes along with dazzling color swirls, returns it to the furnace, and then sculpts it. The kit also includes an optional questionnaire for sharing details about your loved one, allowing Benjamin to honor their memory and keep their spirit in mind while he crafts each special piece. The memorial heart comes with a light-up base that beautifully illuminates the colors, swirls, and ashes. Your completed memorial will come with a photo that captures poignant moments in the creation of your memorial. Handmade in Rhode Island. NOTE: Once you order, we will send you an easy kit with very specific instructions and shipping materials (including a small tin, bag, and scoop) for sending a teaspoon of ashes to Benjamin's studio.
