At Casting Ashes® as an act of love and service on your behalf we cast ashes

Adding cremation ash to sculpture is a beautiful way to honour someone's essence and celebrate their enduring presence in our lives. .Inspired by the coastal landscape, our pebbles and touchstones combine your loved one's ashes with earth's natural minerals to create something unique and beautiful for you to have and to hold. 

 

Our sculptural pieces are created using raw materials and will bring calming neutral tones into your living space to blend unobtrusively with your home decor. The amount of ashes we require will depend on the size of your order, and we will let you know in the kit we send out to you once you place an order.

View our themed collections below or shop all products.

 

Please let us know if you want us to use more than one set of ashes so we can send a kit customised to your needs. You will be able to do this by adding a message at the checkout stage.

Staying
Connected Through Sculpture

Adding cremation ash to sculpture is a beautiful way to honour someone's essence and celebrate their enduring presence in our lives.

 

 

Inspired by the coastal landscape, our pebbles and touchstones combine the essence of your loved one with earth's natural minerals.  We use crushed granite sourced from a local quarry, so you actually do get a little piece of Cornwall!  

We handle the ashes you send us with great care and every part of our process is done lovingly by hand.   Whenever we do a casting we honour the life commemorated by lighting a candle and will  play a piece of music you request for a personal touch.

Helping you keep loved ones close

"I really want you to both know what a fabulous job you have done. 
From start to finish you have treated us with kindness and an understanding you don’t often see these days. 
I can’t thank you enough for going above and beyond for us.  I will be sitting in front of the tv tonight holding my husbands hand and heart and I have you to thank for that."
