Memories are one of the best legacies that exist after the death of someone loved.

Renowned artist Beverly Albrets, who specializes in glass etchings, carvings, stained glass and hand blown glass artwork, has turned her talents to create a living memorial for those who have lost their very special loved ones. Like all tenders of the heart, the endearment was borne from Beverly's recent grievance over the loss of a close friend from the art world Beverly came up with the idea of incorporating the ashes into her art work creating a mystically beautiful piece of glasswork.

Cremation is becoming more customary and therefore the desire for more unique memorial options is also increasing - particularly ones that help preserve the memory of and keep the spirit alive of our loved ones, both human and animal.

Many people would like an artistic way to preserve the memory of a loved one after death. Some people have kept the ashes of a loved one's remains in urns or boxes for years. Blown glass artwork is beautiful and extraordinary to begin with - combining the cremated remains of a loved one (both human and pet) with art glasswork creates an eternal keepsake for family and friends.

Now, every family member can have their own tangible keepsake of their lost loved one, that will last forever. We hope that through the glass artwork, it will help people find the peace and strength to move forward.
