November 12 2024: Canada Post union has issued strike notice. Until this issue is resolved we are advising our customers to send us their ashes via UPS with a signature, and UPS is our default shipper for completed orders; we will bill for shipping at cost when your order is ready. Please include a note on your order if you prefer a different courrier. Please phone or email us if you have any questions. If you mailed us the ashes from Canada via ExpressPost on on or before Nov 12, delivery will not be affected by the strike notice.
We are currently accepting Ashes to Art orders via our web store, email, phone or in person on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11am to 4pm.
Colour options vary by design and artist, the whole rainbow of colours is available, we can approximate a birthstone or a favourite colour upon request.

If you are mailing in your ashes here is what you need to know:
We request 1 tsp of ash/piece. Not all of the ash will be used due to limitations of the material itself and all unused ash will be returned unless requested otherwise.
Please DOUBLE BAG the ashes, this is to ensure it does not open while in transit. Please label the ashes with the order number or name of the deceased.
