This beautiful set was just completed today. The glass will be present at the funeral and handed out to those that loved this person.
There is nothing we can make that could have more meaning for so many people.
It is truly an honour to make ashes in glass and we take it very seriously. Thanks to everyone Canada wide for trusting us with your ashes.
