How much ash is needed to create a memorial bead?

Less than 1/8 teaspoon is all that I will need, and any ash that isn't used in creating your memorial will be carefully repackaged and returned to you with your completed piece.

Can a memorial be made with the ash from a pet?

Absolutely. I would be honoured to help commemorate your beloved animal companion.

What are my options if I'm not comfortable handeling the ash myself?

If you are able to make it to my studio in person I will respectfully gather the ash for your memorial from the urn or vessel. Once your memorial is complete just bring urn along when you pick up your piece, and I will return any unused ash into its original container. In some instances, funeral homes can assist with the separation of a small amount of ash.

Can more than one soul be commemorated in a memorial bead?

I can certainly commingle multiple sets of ash in a memorial bead. 

How long will it take to create my memorial?

The typical turnaround times is two weeks from the time I receive the ash.

Which colours are available?

Can I request a custom colour?

Is it possible to make a bead with fur or hair?

Yes, I can absolutely create a memorial using hair / fur. Please keep in mind that the result is much more subtle than ash.

If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear from you.
