Resin memorial art is a custom-made keepsake—such as jewelry, paperweights, keychains, or figurines—created by embedding small amounts of cremation ashes, hair, or other meaningful items into resin. The result is a lasting, often stunning tribute to a loved one.

Locals mentioned wanting to preserve the memory of lost pets, grandparents, and even wedding bouquets in resin.
