Incorporating cremated ashes into a painting or work of art is a nice way to have someone close.  Seeing the beauty in the art and every time you look at it you are reminded of that person – yet it is not the same as the urn on the mantelpiece.

We have managed to find a really good artist that offers this service. Her name is Val Thompson. Below is an example of the photograph she worked from and what the finished work looked like. For more of Val’s work and how to contact her follow the link
