Santa Barbara, CA, January 25, 2004--Memory Glass, a new company in the
funeral industry, announces the launch of a unique cremation memorial product,
developed in response to the demands of today’s discerning consumer. A Memory
Glass is a hand-blown, glass keepsake that infuses minute amounts of human or
pet ashes into a funerary art object. Memory Glass’ President, Nick Savage, and
Vice-President, Loren Dion also introduced the Memory Glass website which allows
customers nationwide to view, customize and order glass “Memories” online. (www.memoryglass.com)
“Memory Glass was developed to
personalize traditional uses of cremated remains,” noted Mr. Savage. “By using
only a small portion of the ashes in each glass sculpture, every family member
can have a ‘memory,’ while still allowing the rest of the cremated remains to be
buried or scattered in traditional ways.”
The first Memory Glass was
made 5 years ago when a friend of Mr. Savage died in a river accident. A
girlfriend of the deceased hit upon the idea of suspending a portion of ashes in
glass sculptures. The elegant glass memorials proved to be powerful personal
mementos for far-away relatives and friends who couldn’t attend the scattering
ceremony. Mr. Savage elaborated on the Memory Glass “urn alternative,” pointing
out that “the scattering of ashes is a useful ceremony for closure, but in time
survivors yearn for something more tangible than just memories of the event. Our
product preserves the loved one’s cremated remains as a visible part of the
art.”
