Ashes to Antlers
Losing a loved one is tough. Yet death is something we'll all have to face. And even though it doesn't seem possible, there is always hope that we will see our loved one again one day in heaven.
As a reminder of that hope, we can make a glass antler that will include some of the cremation remains of your loved one.
"Why an antler?” you may ask.
Finding a solo shed gives me hope that the buck made it, that he's still alive and looking forward to spring greens and better times, and that I will get to see him again in the fall. I believe that there is eternal life and I have this hope that I will see my loved ones again in heaven, that this body is just what's left behind and the soul has moved on to a new body and into a better place.
Having the ashes in an antler is more than just a keepsake. It's a reminder that we have this hope for a brighter tomorrow.
To start this process, add this item to your cart and purchase it. Then mail us one tablespoon of the cremated remains via USPS. According to USPS, cremated remains must be shipped Priority Mail with “Label 139” on all sides of the package. You can get this label at your local post office. Please package the ashes appropriately so if the box gets punctured, the ashes will remain inside. For more information on shipping, please refer to this link.
Once we receive the ashes, we will create an antler using a mixture of glass and ashes. The ashes in the finished product will appear as white or silverish, surrounded by clear glass. The main beam of the antler is approximately 10 inches long with the longest point being approximately 5 inches long. This process takes 3-6 weeks. We will then send you a picture of the finished product and mail the antler to you.
Send your ashes to:
