Spirit Pieces Cremation Art Review

Are you looking for a unique way to memorialize a lost loved one?

Many people are turning to the new trend of cremation art.

A number of companies have emerged in light of this trend. One of these is Spirit Pieces.

In this review, we’ll show you how Spirit Pieces stacks up against the competition.

About the Company

Owner Dave Blake founded Spirit Pieces after the loss of his grandmother. This experience inspired him to help the bereaved in finding artistic connections with those they have lost.

He found a number of artists to share his vision. Today there are more than 40 artists working for Spirit Pieces, based all over the U.S.

What Is Cremation Glass Art?

The artists at Spirit Pieces create cremation glass art by infusing glass with about half a teaspoonful of your loved one’s cremation ash.

This allows you to preserve your loved one’s remains for generations in a way that is truly beautiful and inspiring.

With these ashes, glass artists can create everything from paperweights to hanging orbs to a variety of shapes, like eggs or hearts.

Prices

One of the nicest things about Spirit Pieces is their recognition of the importance of family.

The company offers a 10% discount off any order above $300, with additional pricing incentives at the $600 and $1200 price points.

Prices range from under $100 for a simple paperweight or egg to over $500 for the more elaborate tree of life designs.

The Ordering Process

Ordering from Spirit Pieces is a simple process. You start by adding a desired item to your cart for purchase. At checkout, you can also customize colors or purchase any accessories you would like.

Next the company will send you a collection kit in which you package the desired amount of cremains and ship it back to them via US Priority Mail. Keep in mind that you will need to budget the cost of shipping out the ashes.

With a few exceptions depending on the complexity of the piece, you will receive your finished artwork in about six weeks.

Their work has been described as “stunningly beautiful,” “a wonderful memorial” and “much prettier than I expected.”

Reviewers repeatedly note how comforting it is to have their loved one’s ashes close to them in such a beautiful form.

Other Cremation Art Companies

Artful Ashes

Like Spirit Pieces, Artful Ashes offers a variety of glass cremation art in the form of jewelry, orbs and glass hearts.

Pricing is also similar to Spirit Pieces, and they also offer discounts on some multiple orders. However, their system of family discounts is not quite as extensive.

Artful Ashes is a family-owned company, known for the compassion of the staff. Customers can even come visit the studio to watch the process as their cremation art is created.

There are some great companies out there working in cremation art. It may seem hard to choose. But you can rest assured that if you decide to work with Spirit Pieces, you won’t regret the choice.
