In many cultures, a feather symbolizes spiritual connection, freedom, and truth, often seen as a message from beyond or a representation of the soul's journey.
Scott Staats melds cremated remains into exquisite feather sculptures, crafting poignant tributes to honor those who have passed.
- You’ll receive an easy-to-use collection kit along with complete instructions for gathering a small amount of your loved one’s ashes and sending it to Scott’s studio.
- Scott heats glass in a furnace until it reaches a molten state, then adds a thin layer of the ashes, producing a brilliant white with a touch of bubbles encased in the glass. The material is returned to the furnace and sculpted into the quill of a feather.
- Choose from various plumage designs and colors to create a memorial that best represents your lost loved one.
- Each feather arrives with a 12" faux suede cord for easy hanging on a wall or in a window, where they beautifully scatter and reflect vibrant light.
- Cremated remains have special shipping requirements—please see below for information that will help you purchase the best option.
- Handblown in New Jersey.
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 Feather Sculpture ($225)
- You will receive a memorial collection kit and complete instructions on how to gather your ashes and send them to Scott’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 Scott’s studio, Uncommon Goods will provide a free prepaid shipping label.
Cremation Memorial Feather Sculpture With Shipping Box ($240)
- 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 Scott’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.
