Cremation Glass Orbs: 5 Beautiful Benefits
When we lose a loved one, it can be difficult to let them go. Cremation glass orbs offer a beautiful opportunity to keep departed loved ones close while holding them in everlasting remembrance. By infusing a small amount of your loved one’s ashes into their radiant designs, cremation glass orbs allow your cherished loved ones to be present in your daily life in a special and meaningful way. The unparalleled artistry of these one-of-a-kind keepsakes can provide comfort and support during a challenging time.
What are Cremation Orbs?
A cremation orb is a spherical glass art piece that infuses a small portion of cremated remains within its design. Each individual cremation orb is handcrafted personally by a glass artist known as a glassblower, making them truly unique—no two are alike! Cremation orbs appear Earth-like and magical, surrendering unlimited symbolic meanings for the holder. They offer several beautiful benefits for the bereaved.
Unique Display
A highly skilled glass artist makes a glass cremation keepsake urn with the utmost care. When you display your unique glass keepsake, it will easily stand out as a radiant memorial to your loved one. Its elegant beauty will enhance any space you choose to add it to.
Transportable
Its small size will allow you to take the glass keepsake just about anywhere you wish. It can easily fit in most pockets. Even if you choose to fly with it, your small glass keepsake will pose no threat to TSA screenings. You’ll always be able to keep your loved one close to you.
Conversation Starter
Wherever you display it in your home, its sublime appearance will make it hard for visitors to ignore. Most people won’t even know it contains ashes. The beauty will draw them in and invite conversation over its unique design. For many grief-stricken individuals, sharing the story of their departed loved one can be cathartic. When we share the departed's memory and life, we help keep their spirit alive.
Unity
The loss of a loved one can be quite painful. As bereaved family members lean into each other for support and comfort, dividing the ashes among several glass cremation keepsakes can be a beautiful way to hold the departed in everlasting remembrance. Knowing other close family members are holding a similar keepsake to your own can be a soothing balm to the grief of losing a loved one.
Eternal Bond
When we create eternal tributes to our loved ones, we can stay eternally connected with them in spirit. The physical proximity of their ashes can remind us that they are always with us. The infusion of their ashes serves an active purpose, providing us with beauty, comfort, and peace. The deep bond we share with our loved ones is only enhanced.
How Glass Custom Keepsake Urns Are Made
Each glass keepsake is lovingly created from scratch. Glass artists cannot add ashes to an already-completed keepsake. The glass must be in liquid form to infuse the ashes into it.
It all starts with a glassblower extracting clear, molten glass from a furnace that reaches temperatures of approximately 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, they add colored glass to the shape. A color rod can be divided into segments and added to the clear glass. Glass artists can also lay powdered glass on a hard surface and roll the molten glass over it to create the preferred look and design. Like the powdered glass, ashes are infused into the design by rolling the molten glass over them. The heat of the glass burns off the carbon in the ashes, resulting in a brilliant white color. Once the glass shape is formed and the colors and ashes have been infused into the design, the keepsake is cooled in an oven called an annealer.
