Testimonials
“When my youngest sister passed away, I considered exactly what I wanted to do with my bit of her ashes. I had seen glass memorials online, but did not like the idea of having to mail the ashes and risk the transport of the memorial back to me. When I found out that epiphany did memorials, that was the perfect answer. I liked the idea of supporting a local business and being able to go in and see their work and actually talk to someone about my options. epiphany was great to work with. I chose a round paperweight with purple swirls because my sister’s favorite color was purple and she loved to travel around the world. Her ashes now swirl around the globe.”

“These have been the most wonderful way to memorialize my dog and cat who have passed away in the past year. They are so beautiful and can be placed anywhere you please. I have a sleeping cat, and a dog bone, both filled with my animals remains. Each piece is inscribed with the animals name, and the years of their births and deaths. They are my valued treasures.”
-N.K.
“Once upon a time there was an Alex…… For almost 15 years my boy was truly the total delight of my life. He came to me as a rescue, became a certified therapy dog, walking buddy, clown, nap-time snuggler..just a treasure. I hold his Memorial Bone close to my heart, feeling again and again the bond we had. Thank You, Epiphany Glass, for making it possible…..”

“Thank you to epiphany glass for making my hearts with my husbands ashes in them. I checked all around and found this place. They were the best people to talk to and they did a beautiful job on all my hearts I had made. I had 3 different ones made for me, my Daughter, and my Granddaughter. They all turned out beautiful. We love them and the little extra touches that they did was over the top. Thank you all very much !! I will be getting some more hearts made from you.” – E.H.
