Memorial Portraits
A review of our different cremation keepsake portrait options
CREMATION ASH KEEPSAKES
An enduring work of art that transcends the mere image, our ash-transfer portrait is your beloved in the most direct and fundamental sense, a presence that you will feel in the powerful yet calming effect it has in your everyday life.
Our exclusive, recently patented transfer process was perfected over years of experiment. We create a subtly textured surface out of ash particles, onto which we transfer the portrait image, which is then contained in a secure wooden shadow-box frame with glass protection.
- Requires approximately three weeks to complete and return.
- Different size options are available:
- Small (5″ x 7″ x 2″)
- Large (11″ x 14″ x 3″)
- A small amount of cremated remains (about two ounces)
- A photograph (guidelines for how to select the photo can be found on our order form)

MOSAIC PORTRAITS
The original Icons in Ash method, the completely hand-made Mosaic portrait – as with its biblical precedent an act of reconstituting what had been broken, in this case our relationship to our beloved deceased – was invented and developed by Heide Hatry 10 years ago. Individual ash particles are first separated into different shades of grey and then embedded meticulously, one by one, into a surface of warm beeswax, until, over several layers of delicate application, a rich and textured likeness is ultimately achieved. In cases where there is too little color variation among the grey particles, we may increase the palette range using pulverized coal and white marble dust. Contained in an elegant wooden shadow-box frame equipped with museum-quality glass
