These Cremation Memorial Remembrance Stones are a meaningful tribute to honor the memory of a loved one, offering a comforting and tactile keepsake. Crafted from handblown glass by artist Scott Staats, each stone encapsulates a small portion of cremains, blending art and memory in a beautiful, lasting form. With this unique keepsake, you can carry a piece of your loved one with you wherever you go, finding solace and connection in its smooth, calming surface.
What Makes These Stones Special
Worry stones, known for their ancient Greek origins, are designed to offer comfort and relaxation by rubbing them between your fingers. In times of grief, this simple act can provide a sense of peace. Scott Staats takes this traditional concept further by infusing each stone with cremains, making them a personal and unique remembrance piece. The glass, shaped in a comforting worry-stone form, combines a gentle white hue with a delicate bubble texture, resulting in a piece as unique as the memory it honors.
How It’s Made
Once you place an order, you’ll receive a kit with detailed instructions and materials to send a small amount of ashes to Scott’s studio. In a meticulous process, Scott heats the glass until it reaches a molten state, incorporates a thin layer of ashes, and returns the glass to the furnace to shape it into the final stone. You can choose from a variety of colors, allowing you to select a hue that best represents your loved one. Each stone is made with a concave underside for easy holding, fitting naturally in your hand for moments of comfort.
