What Makes It Uncommon

Losing a loved one can feel like the world has shattered, leaving an ache in our hearts that words can scarcely express. Benjamin Giguere melds cremated remains into a work of memorial glass art as a tribute to 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 Benjamin’s studio.
  • The kit also includes an optional questionnaire that allows you to share details about your loved one, so Benjamin can honor their memory while crafting your piece.
  • After Benjamin’s studio receives your ashes, a glassblower will heat glass in the furnace to a molten state, then remove it to add a thin layer of the ashes along with dazzling color swirls. Next, it will be returned to the furnace to meld the elements together, and finally, sculpted by hand.
  • Your finished piece will arrive with a wooden light-up base that beautifully illuminates the colors, swirls, and ashes.
  • Cremated remains have special shipping requirements—please see below for information that will help you purchase the best option.
  • Handmade in Rhode Island.
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 Orb Sculpture ($275)
  • You will receive a memorial collection kit and complete instructions on how to gather your ashes and send them to Benjamin’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 Benjamin’s studio, Uncommon Goods will provide a free prepaid shipping label.
Cremation Memorial Orb Sculpture With Shipping Box ($290)
  • 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 Benjamin’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.

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.

This is a made-to-order item that ships directly from the maker. You will receive a pre-paid shipping label and envelope to mail your completed kit to the artist. An expected ship date for your item will be provided after the artist receives your kit. This item typically ships after the artist receives your kit.

This is the most amazing gift you can give.

I purchased the Cardinal for my mom last year with my dad's ashes and ordered another orb for my husband who lost his mom as well. Both are stunning and are so beautiful. Makes you feel like that loved one is still with you!

Jimmy's Here

I had this created for my sister-in-law using her husband's ashes (my brother). When it arrived, I was blown away. It's just sooo beautiful. The craftsmanship is amazing. I immediately set it up in my house for a few days before giving it to my sister-in-law. I thought of my brother every time I walked by it, bringing back wonderful memories. My sister-in-law loved it. She lights it up a lot, but especially when friends stop by, so that Jimmy is always nearby.

Beautiful Reminder

I bought this for my husband who recently lost his father. His heart is still tender with grief so any reminders need to be gentle. This orb is a lovely remembrance of his Dad. The light shining through the glass is a special reminder of his Dad's love and influence.

Memorial orb

Our loving little kitty was part of our life for over 17 years. This was a touching way to have her in our hearts. We chose the multi color because it reflected her colorful personality.

Beautiful, tastefully crafted, momento of lost loved one.

I ordered three of the uncolored glass spheres to have my husband's ashes combined with. One for each daughter and one for myself. They were all three different slightly, yet, all perfect. They all looked so different on the light up base, with colors in the ashes that come alive with the light. Absolutely beautiful.

Perfect!

I love this Cremation Memorial Orb Sculpture so, so much! I lost my father unexpectedly and this lets me keep a part of him nearby. It is not only beautiful to look at, the sentimental value is priceless. The creator asks for memories and the likes of the person you lost and said it helps him when he creates the piece. I love that thoughts of my dad and his likes and his personality were going through the creator's mind while he made this beautiful treasure. I absolutely, completely recommend this piece. I could not be happier with the results.

Hello. Is the orb permanently attached to the base or can it be lifted off and held?

Verified reply from Iriscelis

The orb can be taken off the base and held. .

Would you be able to use ashes from both of my parents in one orb?

Verified reply from Sofia

Hello. We are very sorry for your loss. If you have multiple people you’d like to represent in 1 memorial sculpture, we encourage you to carefully mix their ashes and provide us with no more than 1 scoop (1 tsp) of mixed ashes.
