“Losing a pet is one of the saddest experiences in life. I found out about Monique and her ash memorials at the Middlebury Farmers Market over 10 years ago. The creativity and care she wove into my ash memorial gives me sweet remembrance of my cat, Bessi. Monique showed me where the ashes had been spun, and I love showing the piece to friends and my family. I appreciate how she took her time making the piece just right. It shows.” - Eileen Brunetto, Middlebury, VT
“When my much-loved golden retriever passed away, a dear friend asked to have some of the ashes. She and Barnaby were great friends, so I gladly said yes. What I didn't know was that she had already arranged to have them turned into a paperweight for my desk. The heart shape and colors were amazing. I CHERISH this little paperweight. Thank you so very much for allowing me to have a small part of him with me, always. 💜”

"The ash memorial pieces I received were not only shipped to me in a timely manner, they're also beautiful and great quality. The designs were clear and colorful, and the ash was visible but not so much as to overwhelm the simple beauty of the design. Very well crafted, and at a very fair price."

“Monique took the time to understand the individual preferences of all my family members from color, to presentation and setting. My entire family was very happy with our individual ash pieces and we treasure them deeply. What I appreciated most about Monique’s approach to creating our orders was she was careful to ask questions about my father and even made a point to listen to his favorite music while making the pieces. I had forgotten to pick up the remaining ashes that were not used and Monique reached out to offer special care in releasing them in a beautiful natural setting when I felt too overwhelmed with grief to pick them up. Monique created such beautiful pieces but more importantly, she approached her work with compassion and unyielding care for my father’s memory.”
