About Us

The Ash Experiment celebrates life by memorializing the departed. No matter the faith or belief system you bring to the process, our sincere hope is for you to find comfort. We fuse elemental materials with cherished ashes in our patented process, creating a synergistic masterpiece that you will cherish for years to come. This is a way for the departed to continue to positively impact your everyday life. Integrate your loved one’s ashes into a piece that resonates with their essence. 

On The After Afterlife

We celebrate the after afterlife by commemorating and honoring your departed loved one or departed pet. As an alternative to the dark attic or basement corner where you might keep cremated remains, we offer a personal way to bring your loved one or pet into the light. Do away with the plain cardboard box or the nondescript urn and have a reimagined, original art piece that represents their true essence. Each piece is elemental and has a comforting presence. Our goal is for your art piece to elicit an emotional response and evoke joy. Whether a contemporary centerpiece or an urn, we invite you to cherish their memories in a way central to your daily life.

On Cremation

Our Artists infuse your piece with the cremated ashes, enabling you to include this tribute in the beauty of your own home. We have made every effort to make this process simple and efficient. Upon completing your order, we will send you a collection kit and envelope to send the ashes in. We use about a tablespoon of cremation ashes in our pieces allowing for other tributes to take place, whether that be scattering ashes in a favorite place or burying them to have a physical space to visit. We are devoted to offering you cremation art by the highest quality Artists who work with a variety of mediums.

On Sustainability

While spirituality is at the heart of our artwork, The Ash Experiment exists as a small solution to the unsustainable burial system on this planet. As our planet runs out of burial land, alternative ways to remember and celebrate our departed are coming to light. From the raw materials used to make the pieces themselves to the recyclable items to collect ashes, almost all of our collection kits and packaging materials are biodegradable. Our raw, mixed media materials have the commonality of the elements of the earth: glass is from sand, which is from rock from the earth. These practices, along with safe working environments and fair wages, help us stay true to our goal of an environmentally sustainable lifestyle.

On Integrity

We acknowledge the trust given to us when you order from The Ash Experiment. We take special care to ensure that the cremated remains of your beloved family member or cherished pet are properly shipped, labeled and emblazoned into the art piece of your choosing.
