Our Memorial Creations
Each piece we create is as unique as the loved one it celebrates. We offer a wide selection of designs and sizes, and we also create unique custom pieces that capture the spirit and personality of of people and pets.
We have created a beer stein for a son in New Brunswick so that he can drink with his dad again. We blew a huge garden ball to commemorate a Brandon, a Manitoba mother who loved to garden. And we have sent pendants and blown Northern Lights orbs to multiple places across Canada and the United States.
Popular items we create include hanging orbs, flowers, hummingbirds,
dragonflies, pendants, solid hearts, sitting dogs and cats, and more. Custom
pieces include detailed pet portraits, spirit animals, model cars, and garden
orbs. We have even made a glass and ash didgeridoo!
We truly mean it when we say "you dream it, we create it!"

What We're All About:

Our Process
Learn more...When ashes are added to glasswork, they create a white, bubbled swirl that looks like the milky way, or a streak of Northern Lights. The vividness and beauty of the ashes are augmented by the clear and coloured glass we use to create your piece. We will keep you informed throughout the process, ensuring that we honor your loved one at every step.
