Art from Ashes: New Jewelry and a Discount

Companion Bracelet

Art from Ashes was the first company I ever featured in my Pet Memorial category.  Now, almost two years later, they are still the only company I have there.  There are many ways to memorialize our pets once they pass, but I think the handcrafted glass sculptures from Art from Ahses that incorporate our loved-one's ashes are exceptional. 

Now, in response to their clients' requests, they have partnered with renowned glass artist Caitlin Burch to create a line of jewelry.  Again, they use a small amount of ash in each piece, and produce a one-of-a-kind keepsake that can be worn as "a personal and private expression of eternal love and companionship."  Lovely!

Pet Memorials: Art from Ashes

Memorial Day is for remembering our veterans. But so many images of cemeteries can’t help but bring up other losses on our lives. Our pets may never have seen the front lines, but they have lived in the trenches with us, and when they pass away, it can be difficult to find the right way to honor and remember them.

Deb C. Brown, her sister, Jennifer Bourgeois, and their best friend, Jane Giat of Amherst, MA felt this difficulty acutely as they said good-bye to many beloved pets over the years. Finally, inspired by the sisters’ grandmother’s 100-year paperweight collection, they founded Art from Ashes where artists create gorgeous glass sculptures using the ashes of your pet.
