Store owner replied:
Hi Janet,
We are deeply touched to hear that your Cardinals provide such a beautiful and meaningful way to honor your husband. Thank you so much for sharing your kind words!
I am delighted with this piece! I appreciate that I was informed about the progress of the order and that it arrived before the date that I had requested. This is truly a piece of art. I love that you can see the ashes inside the cardinal from the bottom. It truly represents my mom. I will cherish it forever! Thank you to the artist and to Spirit Pieces!
My family and I are enjoying having A piece of our loved ones in our home with these lovely glass figurines
I’ve passed your website onto a few different people
I wanted a keepsake from my son Jason's ashes who was taken from us way too early. We love birds so this cardinal was the perfect choice. We love it!!!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces that I have seen. I really could not imagine how the ashes would be incorporated into the bottom side of the cardinal...but WOW! It's one of thoes pieces that you just have to see. I would recommend this artist to anyone.
We are blown away by the level of detail in the Cardinal! I am so happy we found Spirit Pieces and so glad we have a cardinal with our first pups ashes in it. We can't thank you enough!!! Thank you, Chris!
This was made for my wife who lost her father. It is extremely well made and is a very heavy piece of art. They do an excellent job, and we are very pleased with our purchase. We would definitely buy again from you. Thank you so much. Words can not explain how meaningful and symbolic this piece of art is to us.
I ordered two cardinals one for us and one for my daughter. We lost our son/brother a year ago very unexpectedly.
These 2 cardinals are beautiful and bring such joy and happy memories of our son. We have many cardinals in our yard which bring us peace and calmness everyday.
Thank you for your attention and compassion to our needs and the exquisite workmanship on these two pieces of art.
I had 3 made - one for each sister. Each bird has its own personality. Carefully crafted and done with care. A wonderful experience! This is the second time ordering from Spirit Pieces and I believe in what they do.
My mom was my world and this piece that Chris did was just like the photo image. We loved cardinals and I truly believe that when they appear she is with me.
I highly recommend the Spirit pieces. I can now move to the UK and take some of my mom's ashes with me within an ornamental that will last forever.
There were many sites to choose from, but Spirit made the process easy and the timeline was even shorter.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Cheers,
MJ Frederick
My brother and his wife lost their son and told me that every day since a cardinal shows up at their window so when I saw your cardinal on the web site, I thought it was a small thing I could do to ease their pain. Your cardinal and the fact that it has Matt's cremations are in it bring them piece and assurance every minute of every day. I can never thank you enough.
Thank you so much. They arrived on Christmas eve. What a wonderful gift to have on the holidays. ITS LIKE MY PARENTS CAME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. Thank you again. My sister loved hers also.

Pay for your purchase by credit card, Paypal or payment plan.
We ship you the collection kit (if applicable) free of charge, along with any ordered accessories or non-infused products.
You ship back the collection kit to the artist.
We'll generally have everything back to you within 6 weeks of the artist receipt of the kit.
If you are ordering a self-fill pendant, bracelet or urn you add ashes into at home you can disregard the rest of this section, there will be no collection kit.
Handling The Cremation Ash is Easy and Quick
Takes no more than a minute.
Collection Baggie seals securely.
If you are uncomfortable handling ashes (very understandable) you can ask a friend or your local funeral home if they will do this step for you and/or prepare little baggies with the proper amount to include in the sample baggie. If you take this approach, just be sure to write your name and order number on the baggie.
You can send ashes FedEx or USPS. If sending USPS, ideally cremation ash should be shipped to us USPS Priority Express as per the postal service regulations on shipping cremains; we'll accept shipments if they arrive to us otherwise.
We do not cover the cost of shipping the kits back to us; if you're sending to multiple artists you have the option to send all kits to our Austin location. If you do this, this can delay your order 2-3 weeks as kits are transferred to each artist at the end of every month. You are of course welcome to send individual kits directly to the artist, just be aware that you'll need to pay for each kit. If you are only ordering from one artist, please send directly to the artist.
Cost to send kits FedEx is approximately $15, sending USPS Priority Express costs $45 to $65 based on your distance from artist..
The ash will appear as small light grey specks along with occasional bubbles. If there is extra ash left over we can either scatter locally or return the ash to you via priority express mail as per your instruction (additional costs will apply to cover the postage of returning ashes to you.)
Please keep in mind these are handmade just for you so there will be slight differences from piece to piece. Please note that if you order across styles you will be ordering from multiple artists so you may have to send out multiple kits.
All products can be infused with ash from both people and pets. We can combine ashes from multiple pets/people in one piece (mixing of ashes occurs on customer side.)
The kits are good for 18 months, there is no need to wait to have the ashes physically accessible before ordering the kit. We suggest having the kit ready for the ashes once they become available.
We at Spirit Pieces believe that memorializing loved ones is best done as a family. Towards that end we offer discounts based on cart value, with higher discounts as the cart value increases.
Our current family order* promotions:
10% off orders of greater than $300
15% off orders of greater than $600
20% off orders of greater than $1200
Discount automatically applied and visible during checkout. The higher the cart value, the greater the group discount.
We suggest a single person order and distribute the Spirit Pieces to keep everything as simple as possible.
You can order all the same item, or all different items, in terms of the discount as long as you exceed the discount threshold you'll receive the discount.
Please keep in mind that as we're an artist collective, our artists are in different locations soif multiple artists are ordered you may need to send out multiple kits (read this note regarding). We cover the cost of sending you the collection kit, and sending you the memorial, but not the cost of sending the kit back to us. We ask you send the collection kit(s) back USPS Priority Express or Fedex.
To start a family order:
Write an introductory email or post to friends and family who might be interested in purchasing a Spirit Piece in memory of the loved ones and share our site. We've prepared an example email for you to share here.
Ask them to send you links to what they wish to purchase along with any customization notes.
Add their selections to the cart using the 'Add to Cart' button.
When all orders are in, click on the little cart icon on the top of the site to check out.
We will email you an invoice you can share to collect money, if applicable.
* Family orders are defined as orders >=$300
Common Family Ordering Questions:
If I order from different artists, does that affect the discount?
No, discounts are based on total cart value, so every item can be a different color/artist. As long as it's all in the same order you'll get the discount.
Do all my items need to be the same style/color?
No, they can all be different.
I want to send some items to different locations, how do I do this?
We offer free shipping as long as a single artist is sending to a single location. If you are working with different artist, each artist can ship to a different address, but all work from that artist needs to ship to that selected address.
Collection kits are included in price and sent with 1-2 business days of your order.
We send a simple to use collection vial that takes under a minute to fill and will use up a tiny fraction of available ashes (in most cases.)
If you are uncomfortable handling ashes (very understandable) you can ask a friend or your local funeral home if they will do this step for you and/or prepare little baggies with the proper amount to include along side the vial in the sample baggie. If you take this approach, just be sure to write your name and order number on the baggie and include with the empty vial.
