What Makes It Uncommon

A gentle flame can mean so much more than just light. Artist Dan Hoffman infuses a loved one's ashes into the custom glaze of this ceramic luminary, creating a touching tribute that reflects both presence and remembrance. Soft illumination glows through its delicate floral pattern, offering a comforting, peaceful way to honor their memory and keep them close with every flicker.

  • Slip cast ceramic form finished with a special glaze uniquely developed for this process.
  • Designed to hold a candle, casting a warm glow through an intricate floral pattern.
  • Includes a display stand for year round placement on a shelf, table, or mantel.
  • Available in six color options, each uniquely influenced by the infusion process.
  • Created as a lasting, tangible way to honor the memory of a loved one or animal companion.
  • Cremated remains have special shipping requirements—please see below for information that will help you purchase the best option.
  • Handmade in Pennsylvania.
Shipping requirements for sending ashes safely
The U.S. Postal Service has strict requirements for mailing cremated remains (human or pet). As of 2025, all remains must be shipped in a special USPS cremated remains box, sealed with USPS tape. Other boxes or mailers are not permitted and may result in delays or returned shipments. This is a nationwide policy, and the options below will help to make the process simple and stress-free.

Select one of these options from the dropdown menu:

Cremation Memorial Ceramic Luminary ($265)
  • You will receive a memorial collection kit and complete instructions on how to gather your ashes and send them to Dan’s studio to create your sculpture. You will not receive a USPS cremated remains box or tape.
  • You will need to order the USPS cremated remains box directly from USPS—it’s free and comes with the USPS tape. Get it here. When you’re ready to send your ashes to Dan’s studio, Uncommon Goods will provide a free prepaid shipping label.
Cremation Memorial Ceramic Luminary With Shipping Box ($280)
  • Uncommon Goods will ship the USPS cremated remains box and tape in the same package as your memorial collection kit. You will not need to order it from USPS. When you’re ready to send your ashes to Dan’s studio, we will also provide a free prepaid shipping label.
  • The additional $15 covers our cost to ship the flat USPS box and tape to you.

Dan Hoffman

Dan Hoffman discovered ceramics in high school in his native Philadelphia and later honed his craft through continued study and years of experience. After beginning his career in animation, he spent 15 years in design and marketing before returning to ceramics, where his work took on deeper meaning. Inspired by the loss of a beloved aunt, Dan created his first memorial piece using her ashes, a moment that shaped his path. Today, he handcrafts each piece in his studio, transforming personal loss into lasting, meaningful objects. Through his work, Dan offers others a way to honor loved ones with beauty, care, and intention.

Beautiful Memorial

This is absolutely beautiful. Very well made. A much nicer reminder than an urn. #sweepstakes

I would by this product again

Not only is my luminary beautiful, but I can see the uniqueness in how the ash of my dear friend influences the color of the glaze. I chose her favorite color and the soft glow of the light reflects her radiant memory. The ordering process was easy and the delivery was prompt. I so appreciate this memorial. Thank you Ahava for providing this service
