This item takes approximately 6 weeks to ship after receiving your ash kit.
This lovely handmade dichroic sea turtle pendant has been infused with the cremation ash of your loved one, making it a beautiful way to keep them close to you. Please note that if the cremains are powdery and/or darker in color, the ashes may take on a more nebulous look.
Sea turtles symbolize longevity, patience, wisdom and endurance.
HOW IT'S MADE
David starts with a blue tube of glass, which is melted down over a 2000 degree flame into a semi-molten disk. Different color glass tubes are melted into the pendant to add various highlights and appendages. Then a finishing layer of optically clear glass is layered over the blue core to forever protect your loved one's ashes.

A short story about turtles, grief and love...
Once, there was a little turtle named Timmy who lived in a beautiful pond with his mother. Timmy's mother was the kindest and most loving turtle anyone had ever met. She always took care of Timmy and made sure he had everything he needed.
One day, a terrible illness swept through the pond and Timmy's mother became very sick. Despite all the care and love Timmy and the other turtles gave her, she eventually passed away and went to heaven.
Timmy was heartbroken. He missed his mother terribly and couldn't understand why she had to leave him. He spent his days swimming through the pond, looking up at the sky and wondering where his mother had gone.
One day, as he was swimming, he saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It was so bright and colorful that it caught Timmy's attention immediately. As he looked at the rainbow, he felt a warm, comforting presence and he knew it was his mother, watching over him from heaven.
From that day on, Timmy felt a little bit better. He still missed his mother, but he knew that she was always with him, watching over him and loving him. And he took comfort in the beautiful rainbows that appeared in the sky, knowing that they were a sign of his mother's love and presence.
We send a simple to use collection vial that takes under a minute to fill and will use up a tiny fraction of available ashes (in most cases.)
If you are uncomfortable handling ashes (very understandable) you can ask a friend or your local funeral home if they will do this step for you and/or prepare little baggies with the proper amount to include along side the vial in the sample baggie. If you take this approach, just be sure to write your name and order number on the baggie and include with the empty vial.
We at Spirit Pieces believe that memorializing loved ones is best done as a family. Towards that end we offer discounts based on cart value, with higher discounts as the cart value increases.
Our current family order* promotions:
- 10% off orders of greater than $300
- 15% off orders of greater than $600
- 20% off orders of greater than $1200
Discount is applied with discount code at time of checkout. The higher the cart value, the greater the group discount.
We suggest a single person order and distribute the Spirit Pieces to keep everything as simple as possible.
You can order all the same item, or all different items, in terms of the discount as long as you exceed the discount threshold you'll receive the discount.
Please keep in mind that as we're an artist collective, our artists are in different locations so if multiple artists are ordered you may need send out multiple kits (read this note regarding). We cover the cost of sending you the collection kit, sending you the memorial, but not the cost of sending the kit back to us. We ask you send the collection kit(s) back priority express.

- Write an introductory email or post to friends and family who might be interested in purchasing a Spirit Piece in memory of the loved ones and share our site. We've prepared an example email for you to share here.
- Ask them to send you links to what they wish to purchase along with any customization notes.
- Add their selections to the cart using the 'Add to Cart' button.
- When all orders are in, click on the little cart icon on the top of the site to check out.
- We will email you an invoice you can share to collect money, if applicable.
* Family orders are defined as orders >=$300
Common Family Ordering Questions:
If I order from different artists, does that affect the discount?
No, discounts are based on total cart value, so every item can be a different color/artist. As long as it's all in the same order you'll get the discount.
Do all my items need to be the same style/color
No, they can all be different
I want to send some items to different locations, how do I do this?
We offer free shipping as long as a single artist is sending to a single location. If you are working with different artist, each artist can ship to a different address, but all work from that artist needs to ship to that selected address.
If you have any questions, please visit our help site at help.spiritpieces.com, contact us at hello@spiritpieces.com or open a chat with us.
Ordering a Spirit Piece is Super Simple:
- Add what items you want to your cart
- Check out via the shopping cart icon

- We ship you the collection kit free of charge, along with any accessories.

Handling The Cremation Ash is Easy and Quick
- Takes no more than a minute.
- Collection Baggie seals securely.
If you are uncomfortable handling ashes (very understandable) you can ask a friend or your local funeral home if they will do this step for you and/or prepare little baggies with the proper amount to include in the sample baggie. If you take this approach, just be sure to write your name and order number on the baggie.
Ideally cremation ash should be shipped to us USPS Priority Express as per the postal service regulations on shipping cremains; we'll accept shipments if they arrive to us otherwise.
We do not cover the cost of shipping the kits back to us; if you're sending to multiple artists you have the option to send all kits to our Austin location. If you do this, please plan for an extra 1-2 weeks since we are grouping up orders and sending out the kits 1-2 times a month. You are of course welcome to send individual kits directly to the artist, just be aware that you'll need to pay for each kit. If you are only ordering from one kit, please send directly to the artist. Cost to send kits is approximately $30 to $55 based on your distance from artist.
If you are sending pet ashes (and only pet ashes) you can send via UPS or Fedex to our Austin office. This will cost ~$15.
The ash will appear as small light grey specks along with occasional bubbles. If there is extra ash left over we can either scatter locally or return the ash to you via priority express mail as per your instruction (additional costs will apply to cover the postage of returning ashes to you.)
Please keep in mind these are handmade just for you so there will be slight differences from piece to piece. Please note that if you order across styles you will be ordering from multiple artists so you may have to send out multiple kits.
All products can be infused with ash from both people and pets. We can combine ashes from multiple pets/people in one piece (mixing of ashes occurs on customer side.)
The kits are good for 18 months, there is no need to wait to have the ashes physically accessible before ordering the kit. We suggest having the kit ready for the ashes once they become available.
