Cremation Memorial Ceramic Vase

A familiar shape takes on deeper meaning when it holds more than what meets the eye. Artist Dan Hoffman infuses a loved one’s ashes into the custom glaze of this ceramic vase, creating a tribute that lives quietly in the everyday. Whether filled with fresh blooms or left simply as it is, it offers a steady, beautiful way to honor their presence.

• Slip cast ceramic vase finished with a special glaze uniquely developed for this process.
• Designed to be displayed on its own, or to hold fresh or dried flowers.
• Available in five color options, each uniquely influenced by the infusion process.
• Created as a lasting, tangible way to honor the memory of a loved one or animal companion.
• Measures 8″H x 6″W (at widest point).
• Cremated remains have special shipping requirements—please see below for information that will help you purchase the best option.
• Handmade in Pennsylvania.

Shipping requirements for sending ashes safely
The U.S. Postal Service has strict requirements for mailing cremated remains (human or pet). As of 2025, all remains must be shipped in a special USPS cremated remains box, sealed with USPS tape. Other boxes or mailers are not permitted and may result in delays or returned shipments. This is a nationwide policy, and the options below will help to make the process simple and stress-free.

Select one of these options from the dropdown menu:

Cremation Memorial Ceramic Vase ($300)

• You will receive a memorial collection kit and complete instructions on how to gather your ashes and send them to Dan’s studio to create your sculpture. You will not receive a USPS cremated remains box or tape.
• You will need to order the USPS cremated remains box directly from USPS—it’s free and comes with the USPS tape. Get it here. When you’re ready to send your ashes to Dan’s studio, Uncommon Goods will provide a free prepaid shipping label.

Cremation Memorial Ceramic Vase With Shipping Box ($315)

• Uncommon Goods will ship the USPS cremated remains box and tape in the same package as your memorial collection kit. You will not need to order it from USPS. When you’re ready to send your ashes to Dan’s studio, we will also provide a free prepaid shipping label.
• The additional $15 covers our cost to ship the flat USPS box and tape to you.
