Creating Your Memorial Piece
After you place your order, you’ll automatically receive an email with the next steps. This includes a short form to complete online and simple instructions for sending a small amount of ashes. You are also invited to include a photo of your loved one or pet. I keep the photo nearby in the studio while creating your piece so I can feel a deeper connection to the life being honoured throughout the memorial process. Additional details about the process can be found in the drop-down sections on this page.
For Family & Loved Ones
Many families choose more than one piece so each person can carry the same memory in their own way. Matching designs are available across several styles, including pendants, earrings, and other keepsakes, allowing you to mix and match pieces for yourself or someone close to you. If you don’t see the matching piece you’re looking for, send me a quick message and I’ll be happy to customize it for you.
