Ash Art | Memorial Artwork UK

A very elegant, contemporary way to incorporate ashes into a visual artwork for home display

Ash Prints are circular images formed using cremated remains. Using the cyanotype process—a historic photographic technique activated by sunlight, these delicate works hold the physical trace of a loved one, captured in the moment the image is at its most vivid. The original is preserved behind a digital reproduction to prevent further exposure, and prints can be made at any scale, offering a lasting, tangible connection.

Presented as a circular composition within a square frame, the piece sits comfortably within a domestic setting without drawing overt attention. The form is abstract rather than figurative, allowing the meaning to remain personal.

For some families, keeping ashes in a traditional vessel does not feel appropriate. Integrating a portion of ashes into artwork provides an alternative that is discreet, intentional and reflective of lived identity.

Each piece is created with care and consideration. Practical details regarding the amount of ashes required, framing options and production times will be discussed prior to commissioning.

Suitable for:

Home display
Private memorial settings
Families wishing to divide ashes

We can provide guidance on process, logistics and preservation considerations.
