Sunlight, with its comforting rays like a warm embrace, symbolizes the enduring presence of a loved one long after they have passed. Its fleeting yet constant presence mirrors the ephemeral beauty of life and the eternal connection shared with those we hold dear.
Scott Staats melds cremated remains into stunning suncatchers as a colorful, shining tribute to their memory.
- After sending a teaspoon of your loved one's ashes to Scott's studio in the provided kit, the artist heats glass in a furnace until it reaches a molten state. He then adds a thin layer of the ashes to the material before returning it to the furnace and sculpting it into a suncatcher.
- Each design boasts a mesmerizing spiraling pattern that reflects and refracts light when lit.
- Includes ribbon for easy hanging.
- Measures approximately 5.5" in diameter.
- Choose from three colors: Galaxy Blue, Sunset, and Island.
- 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 Suncatcher ($225)
