The Eternal Orb

  • The Eternal Orb is handcrafted from optically pure Pyrex glass.  Ashes are fist suspended within layers of glass, then spun into a unique spiral pattern, and finally backed with a color of your choice.

  • • The Orb is roughly 2 ½" in diameter (about the size of a billiard ball) 

    • A free Collection Kit is provided with every order for the safe & secure delivery of ashes to Grateful Glass

    • Each Orb includes elegant presentation packaging as well as a personalized Certificate of Authenticity. A lucite stand is included at no additional charge and an LED light stand is available for purchase

    • Because of the handcrafted nature of our products, some variation in color and design/dispersion of ashes should be expected. Likewise, each set of ashes reacts uniquely when encased in hot glass. As a result, certain sets of ashes may be less visible or show up as a slightly different color compared to our sample images. 

  • Shipping is a 3 step process. 1) After placing your order, a collection kit will be mailed to you. 2) You will then return the collection kit complete with your loved one’s ashes to the Grateful Glass studio. 3) Finally, we handcraft your keepsake to order and ship it to you along with any unused ashes.

    Shipping of the collection kit as well as your finished keepsake are included for FREE with every order. The return shipment of the collection kit is not included with your order. We have found for the most secure return possible, the kit must be brought in person to your local Post Office for processing.

A long time coming

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 am so pleased with all of the items we purchased after losing our baby girl Tally. What a beautiful and thoughtful way to feel closer to her and to see the creations Matt had crafted. Can’t thank you enough, Matt, for the important and beautiful creations you make.

Personal service, great product

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.

Meaningful and perfect

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.

Beautiful work

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

Beautiful pendant!

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!

Thank you Matt

Matthew Olian has great pride in his workmanship! He made me a beautiful black “Forever Pendant” with my husband’s ashes. He got it to me very quickly, knowing how excited I was to finally order it after many months of thinking about it. I loved several of the colors, but I figured the black would be worn with almost anything. I had him include two chains, to insure I would never lose it. I love how the two chains sit together. I got the medium pendant, which is plenty big, and some day I may just get another, maybe a small one in the emerald green or royal orange! Thanks again Matt.
