A Final Resting Place
In Glass

After my dad’s passing I wanted a pendant with my dad’s remains to keep close to my heart. I started my search on the internet and landed on the website of Grateful Glass. I immediately fell in love with the work of Matthew Olian.

I chose the medium forever pendant and wanted to go with the Amber Purple color. I had some doubts though because of the different possible outcomes with this color and I addressed this in an email with Matt. Promptly he answered me back and attached 20+ pictures of his work with this color in different settings and lighting. And I have to say there was not one example I did not love. So Amber Purple I went with.

When I got my pendant I was in awe. It is gorgeous!
I absolutely love how dynamic the colors are: it changes from a light rose red outlined in silver to a deep blue to a fiery red which scintillates within a purple blue halo, depending on the light. It could not have been a better representation of my dad!

The whole process from start to finish and the communication with Matt is something unique. It instills trust and mutual respect which is pretty hard to find.It is not a mass production. Matt makes the pendant uniquely for you and that shows.

Words cannot express my gratitude and deep appreciation for the opportunity to have such beautiful art to keep my dad near my heart.

Thank you, Matt!

Absolutely stunning. Exactly like the photos. So happy to have my love close to my heart every day.

The glass globe with my dog’s ashes is beautiful - a great way to remember him. Love the acrylic stand it comes with!

I had the heart pendant made with my mom’s ashes. It’s a lovely piece and well crafted, and the color is as shown on the webpage. The artist communicated well and respectfully, and the pendant was received within the expected timeframe. It’s a little larger than I realized, which is good, as some of the other cremation jewelry I looked at was too small for my preference. Very happy with this purchase.

My friends bought this for me. My father passed away suddenly and it's been very hard. This company has been so respectful. I got the collection box which came with a pre-paid shipping label to send it back. They explain it takes 4 to 6 weeks and they send an email confirming the received the ashes and when they are sending the necklace. I got the necklace back and it's beautiful. I can have my dad with me everyday. Not only is the necklace beautiful, but they also sent back the ashes that were not used. Which I'm grateful for. I truly love what they do and how respectful they are.

This was my second purchase from Grateful Glass, first was in 2016 for my daughter's ashes, and this latest purchase for my husband's. Both have exceeded my expectations and are beautiful tributes to them and a testament to your great talent and compassion. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude to you for the great comfort your talent has brought me. I deeply appreciate you and how well you do it, from start to finish.

The piece you created for my mother from my brother's ashes was absolutely beautiful. Each piece looks lovely on the site, but in real life, it really is stunning. Thank you so much.

This piece was just what I was looking for. It is beautiful and the quality is worth every penny. The entire process was very easy.

Matthew was responsive and caring throughout the process. We lost our son and wanted to get something unique. I didn't like the low quality cookie-cutter pendant options on Etsy and wanted something permanent.

The price is worth something that is permanent and one piece. Matthew helped with the shipping preparations and has a detailed process. Thanks again.

This is the second time that I have used the services of Grateful Glass. I remain just as impressed as I was the first time, and just as thankful that I chose this place to memorialize the loved ones I have lost. Thank you, Matt and crew, for all you've done for my family.

I had my nieces necklaces made from their beautiful mom that left this world way to early. I wanted the necklaces before she graduated 🎓 high school and Matthew from grateful glass went above and beyond to help me to do that. They are beautiful and I will never forget how kind he was God bless Matthew and again thank you for all your kindness

I want to thank Matthew for creating such a unique and beautiful pendant with my brother's ashes! It brings me comfort to have a part of him so close to my heart at all times. It was a very professional process. I highly recommend Grateful Glass! I will cherish this keepsake memorial forever! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
