What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

Benjamin Giguere's bright red bird, with cremated remains melded into the glass, symbolizes the comfort of an enduring connection to your lost loved one.

  • You send a teaspoon of your lost loved one's ashes to his studio in the provided kit. A glassblower heats glass in the furnace to a molten state, removes it to add a thin layer of the ashes, returns it to the furnace, and then sculpts it.
  • The kit also includes an optional questionnaire for sharing details about your loved one, allowing Benjamin to honor their memory and keep their spirit in mind while he crafts each special piece.
  • The memorial comes with a light-up base that beautifully illuminates the swirl of ashes within the glowing red bird.
  • Your completed memorial will come with a photo that captures poignant moments in the creation of your memorial.
  • Handmade in Rhode Island.
NOTE: Once you order, we will send you an easy kit with very specific instructions and shipping materials (including a small tin, bag, and scoop) for sending a teaspoon of ashes to Benjamin's studio. You can also read them here.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Rhode Island

When Benjamin Giguere accepted a temp job at a small-town crystal factory in Vermont, he never could have known that it’d lead to a 22-year-and-counting career in glass art. But once his interest was piqued, there was no turning back. Benjamin has since apprenticed with masters of the craft all over the world, experimenting with color and techniques and honing his talent. Eventually, this led to creating a thriving studio in Providence, Rhode Island, where he not only showcases his stunning creations, but also passes his knowledge and experience on to future leaders in the field.
