Chain of Custody of the Cremains

We pride ourselves in a quick turn-around, and all our glass work is guaranteed in writing. (Please see our warranty that we include with each finished keepsake.)

Our Warranty
Since 2001, Forever in Glass has always warranted their glass work against breakage as long as your client owns it. Let’s face it, things happened, a pendant falls on a tile floor and breaks. Don’t worry, it’s a simple repair and we will do it for free. No additional cremains are needed.
How your client initiates a repair claim is simple, they just email us directly at Henry@ForeverInGlassLLC.com, explain what happen. We will then give them our address to ship the broken piece to us. We only ask that a $10 check be included for return shipping.
When we originally created the keepsake we signed the loved one’s name in 22k gold, and fused it onto the glass in the kiln. This will rub off in time. To protect this from happening, apply a thin coat of clear nail polish four times a year. If we engraved your loved one’s name on a bead cap the black can be re-applied using a fine Sharpie Pen, then using a polishing cloth to remove any extra ink outside the engraving.
If there is any special request that is not shown on our web page, please contact me directly at 508-989-9445.

The love one’s first name and/or nick name e.g. Dad, Mom, etc. will be signed on the back in 22k gold. (If no name is indicated on original order, we will assume customer does not want anything signed.)
Each pendant comes with an 18″ Silver Snake Chain, as well as a black wax cotton cord with an extension chain measuring 17 inches to 19 inches.
