How long does it take?
About 2 weeks. I begin to work on your Sacred Embers as soon as I receive the ashes from you. The faster I can get your Sacred Embers to you, the better. |

Do I have to see the ashes?
No, you do not have to see the ashes. I can conceal the ashes by the glass that I choose. However, when someone initially makes this choice, I do ask them to think about having them visible, even if just a tiny bit. Death is a difficult subject, but talking about who you have lost is healing. When someone sees your pendant, or other piece of Sacred Embers art, it gives you that opening to say, "This was created with the ashes of...." That is a wonderful thing! Being able to speak of your beloved, however briefly, can be healing. |

How much ashes (cremains) are needed?
I ask for approximately 1/2 teaspoon. They will be respectfully handled and any unused ashes will be returned to you. |

Why is it important for me to meet, or communicate with you about my loved one?
It is important to me because each Sacred Embers is important and unique. For me they become personal and are individual works of art. Your loss is important, and the memories and feelings that surround this beloved person or pet help me to create a piece of art unique to these memories and feelings. As I get to "know" your beloved, I gain an energy that I use to create your very special, and very unique Sacred Embers. |

What if I don't know if I can remove the ashes myself?
That's OK and very understandable. If you are local I am happy to assist you and take care of this for you when we meet. If you have to send me the ashes, just ask someone you know to do it for you. |

How do I mail my loved one's ashes to you?
I will provide you with a USPS shipping package approved for ashes, including instructions, order form, and a screw-top tin with a collection bag inside. Place a teaspoon of your loved one's ashes in the provided zip lock bag and place in tin. Ship the complete package USPS Priority Express mail from your post office. Special required shipping service will cost $25.40. I will contact you when the package arrives. |

How much does a Sacred Embers cost?
Each piece is custom and unique, so pricing will vary depending on your request. Most Sacred Embers are around $250. Once we communicate and I have a sense of what you are looking for I will be able to quote you a price. If you have a limitation you need to stay within, please indicate that on your request form. |
