Cremation Ash Memorials
Create A Beautiful Glass Float To Honor Your Loved Ones
If you’ve lost a loved one or a pet, we can create a beautiful blown glass Memorial Float with their cremation ash to honor them. We created a process called Scavo Infusion that allows us to fuse Cremation Ash into the surface of our exquisite hand-blown Memorial Floats. The cremation ash is actually embedded into the surface of the glass and shows up as the white texture that appears on the bottom half of each float. It can’t be rubbed off, and it won’t deteriorate or change in any way. It is permanent, resistant to moisture, and will never fade or disappear.
Our Story
I began making Cremation Ash Memorials for my family and friends a few years ago–as a glassblower, it was something I could do for them that was unique and interesting. We live and work at the beach, so creating Memorial Floats for loved ones and pets became a family tradition. When Trevor joined me in the studio and we began offering the Memorials to people we didn’t know, we both took it very seriously but had no idea what kind of stories we’d hear or how much we would be affected by them. I realized that it was a very different way for Trevor and I to express ourselves with our art, and it gave the glass we made a new meaning.
Because I’ve been around for a while, I’ve lost family members and friends as well as some of the most amazing pets, and I appreciate just how much my family and friends and my hilarious little dog wagging her tail all mean to me these days. Making these memorials has deepened that appreciation, and Trevor has shared similar feelings with me–we both feel very lucky to be able to do what we do for a living. We love what we do, and we hope it shows in our work.
Why A Memorial Float?
I have a nice collection of old Japanese floats I’ve found that washed up after stormy weather on the Oregon coast, so it was natural for me to begin making floats once I became a glassblower We chose the graceful shape of a glass float because it is beautiful to look at and easy to display. It’s spherical shape is extremely durable, and to us, it symbolizes the spirit of a loved one floating across the sea on a journey to another shore. Creating a Cremation Ash Memorial float is the perfect way to keep their memory alive!
