Customer photo review of Ed the Turtle

Not the greatest of circumstances to need something like this but I would definitely order a Spirit Piece again!

Customer photo review of Ed the Turtle

Thank you Spirit Pieces for offering such a wide array of pieces to keep a bit of our loved one's cremains close to us. Initially we weren't sure what were looking for, but as we flipped through the catalog..... "Ed" the turtle popped up. "That's it" , my husband announced, my Dad's name was Ed. We purchased Ed the turtle in purple my dad's favorite color. He measures 8in nose to tail and 8 in flipper to flipper. A bit larger than we thought he would be but we Love the Piece. I smile as I pass him Everyday ❤️. Thank you MikeHD! Claudia

I love my turtle, he is absolutely beautiful. What an amazing way to pay tribute to my son. I waited a long time with no idea what to do with his ashes and then I saw ED the turtle and I knew immediately. We actually named him Fred for very special reasons. The entire process was easy, they kept me well informed and everything came together as expected.

Customer photo review of Ed the Turtle

When my mother passed, we bought some of the round paperweight type spirit pieces. When my husband passed, I had planned on choosing something similar. But when I saw this turtle, I just knew this was the one! We had swam with the turtles in Hawaii and was often drawn to turtle collectibles. I don’t know why, but we did. I was more then happy when it arrived. First of all, it arrived faster then I expected! And it was bigger then I expected! And I just love it, and I know it was the right choice for his memory.

It is a beautiful piece with amazing detail. When looking at him he seems poised to speak with a twist to his beak and twinkle in his eye. My mom cried when she received him.

I absolutely love my turtle. When we spread my dads ashes in the Gulf of Mexico he had a turtle earn. When I saw this design on Facebook, I knew I had to have one. Thanks again

Ed the Turtle

Got it for my brother and he loved it!

Ed the Turtle

We love Ed the turtle. My best friend died last year and I mixed her ashes with her dog’s ashes to live on inside of Ed (my friend would have found this perfect :)). Ed sits by me all day and is a lovely, comforting presence. Thank you so much for the beautiful piece.

Ed the Turtle

BEAUTIFUL!!! THANK YOU

Ed the Turtle

I love the turtle, I can see the ashes through out it. I love the colors in it, and I'm happy that it is bigger than I thought it would be.

Ed the Turtle

My “Ed the Turtle” contains the ashes of my “Ed” the turtle protector! The turtle is heavy blown glass. It is comforting to have a physical part of my husband near me.

Ed the Turtle

it was a great peace love it my mother loved the ocean and ed is her all the way thanks

Ed the Turtle

What an amazing experience. I am very pleased and so is my mother in law. Great gift to keep your loved ones close.. Just pay attention to where you add a engraving. I missed it do I didn't get the engraving. NOT Spirit Pieces fault. Very special gift

Ed the Turtle

Super cute, gave it to my son's family. It took longer to receive than all the other pieces I ordered so don't be in a hurry.

Ed the Turtle

I ordered the teal and it is very pretty and much larger than I had thought it would be. It is very well made and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Ed the Turtle

I absolutely love my turtle piece.The colors are beautiful..I highly recommend this piece.

Ed the Turtle

Found the piece that best represented my loved one . Ed the Turtle. He was a little larger than I expected but sits handsomely atop my mantle. Each of y children also received Ed the Turtle and they too enjoy his company. I really liked the idea of having local artisans create the pieces. Shipping and handling was easy enough. Ed the turtle (Dan) is a unique creation for each of us and yet similar enough to remind us we are family.

Ed the Turtle

It's absolutely stunning. My daughter loved and cared for turtles and tortoises, so this was only fitting when we found it. It's much larger than we expected but happily so. You won't be disappointed.

Ed the Turtle

We ordered turtles in 4 colors, aqua, blue, green and red. Each was more beautiful than the next. Thanks so much for the beautiful works of art. They will always be cherished.

Ed the Turtle

I thought it was a perfect piece to represent my brother Brad who passed away. Really well done.

Ed the Turtle

I thought it would be solid rather than hollow but it is still beautiful
