The Perpetual Pendant

thank you so much

I first saw Matt’s website at least a dozen years ago and probably more. I have family members all over the country and as people got older I saw how much it bothered them not to be able to travel and visit their loved ones. It was then that I decided I would be cremated and I want some of my remains to be combined in to an orb. I told my son, I then want him to put two google eyes on the orb and I’m to be kept near his computer or TV so we can continue to enjoy things together. At first he thought this was creepy, but now he appreciates it. Well, fast forward to January 2024 and my dad passed away at 89. He also desired to be cremated so I took some of his ashes and sent them to Matt. What I got back is so beautiful and gives me such comfort when I look at it or hold it. I keep it on my computer desk so it is always near me. I like knowing where my dad is, he is right next to me. Matt was wonderful at walking me through the process and keeping me informed. I couldn’t be happier with him or the product.

I lost my dad just before Christmas. I miss him tremendously, but this beautiful piece brings me comfort. Matt was trustworthy, compassionate, and punctual. He provided an easy-to-use collection kit with clear instructions, and he let me know what to expect. When I received my pendant, I cried. It means a lot to me to be able to literally have my dad close to my heart and to still include him in my life in this way. I’m looking forward to being able to take my dad with me to some of the places he had wanted to see before he died. Reaching up to hold onto this pendant when I’m missing him is a reassuring and grounding sensory experience, too. I ordered the Perpetual Pendant in Pure White. It’s very pretty, and I appreciate that this piece is subtle and something I can easily wear on a regular basis. The similarity in color between my dad’s ashes and the white background allows for maintaining privacy and enables me to be intentional with disclosing the significance of this piece. Delivery was timely, and I felt like my dad’s ashes were treated with respect throughout the process. Thank you, Matt.

My name is Bridget Bogdanich, who along with my husband, John, began our journey to search for the perfect memorial keepsake to bring honor and some closure at the loss of our son two years ago. When I discovered the ethereal beauty of the Grateful Glass products, I knew we had found our answer. The pendants are impeccable and so thoughtfully designed. We chose one for each of our family members, in a lovely light blue that brought reminiscence of our son’s beautiful eyes and gave the comfort of being close with him again.
Matt was informative, sensitive and always available to help meet our needs. He is a true artist and a special human being. We are grateful for him and his team, and as we had hoped, we’re afforded with some peace and closure at this sad time. Thank you, Matt and your team.

I love my necklace to honor my brother! Matt did such an amazing job and was so caring. I really appreciate his attention and craftsmanship.
