What Makes It Uncommon

Benjamin Giguere transforms cremated remains into a luminous work of memorial glass art, giving a transcendent new meaning to the phrase "forever in my heart."

  • 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 Heart 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 Heart 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.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Benjamin Giguere

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.

Wonderful memorial to my Mom

I couldn't stand the thought of having an urn in my home. I bought this kit shortly after my mother passed, put it on my kitchen table, then proceeded to look at it every day for about 9 months. I recently gained the strength to move forward. I appreciate the pictures of the process that came with the sculpture. It's a wonderful piece of art that I can enjoy every day. I'll most likely get the wooden stand inscribed. Thank you to the artist for creating meaningful art and holding space for so many loved ones. #sweepstakes

A lovely remembrance…

I purchased one of these hearts for my sister and one for myself to memorialize our mother. My sister chose the blue and I the multi color. We are both please and I know our mother would be as well.

The memorial heart brings comfort and smiles to MY heart.

My stepson had to travel to TX for an extremely stressful situation. He took my gift to him, the heart containing his Fathers ashes, with him needing the calmness and sensitivity of his Father to bring him through the event. It touched my heart to know this gift meant so much to him.

I would buy this again and again

I love the glass memorial heart with my Mother's ashes incorporated. The care given during the making was incredible. I have told many people about this process. Thankyou so much.

Is it possible to get this memorial statue made without ashes?

Verified reply from Jen

Great question! At this time the artist only offers sculptures made from ashes. However, we'll gladly pass along your suggestion :^)

Thinking of getting this in advance for my mother, but I have no idea how long it might be for her. Likewise, as a gift for my friends with dogs. What happens if the gift does not need to be fulfilled for 2-3-5 years?

Verified reply from Ashley

Thank you for your question. This Cremation Memorial makes a wonderful gift. Kindly note that, due to the special handling required for such precious packages, once ordered, the kit is sent with an Express mailing label included for quick return. The return labels are only valid for 30 days after creation.

Would the glass collections of the cardinal sculpture and the heart sculpture be made with dried flowers from the service?
