Jeremie made a beautiful glass ball, and a worry stone in Illini colors Blue and Orange with my brother’s ashes for me. I was elated that she custom-mixed the colors for me. The glass ball makes me smile and remember my brother when I see it. I take the worry stone with me on hiking trips where I am revisiting places we went when we were children. This helps keep him close and reminds me of my childhood and all the wonderful times I had with my family. The worry stone is easy to travel with and is a nice reminder of times gone by spent with family and friends.

Our two cats died a year apart, and each time we had a paperweight made for them. We picked out colors that reflected each cat’s unique colors. With their ashes combined, the paperweights turned out beautiful. The staff was Wonderful! They helped us determine what type of glass memorial was best for us, and then what colors to be used. There was no rush, and they allowed us plenty of time to make our choices. The shipping process was also easy.

We had 3 birds, a paperweight, and a sun catcher dedicated to my dad and my daughter's pets. I live in Connecticut and I went into the studio after Thanksgiving with my 7 family members. The staff took their time with us and were very organized. We had a slight mix-up with one memorial and they made it right....fixed the mistake very quickly and made it all right. It was so super easy to communicate as they kept me in the loop all the time. Shipping was very safe and the glass items were well packed. Nothing was broken in shipment and I was very happy with the entire process. I have my bird sitting on my desk where I see it every day. It makes me feel close, still, to my Dad.

I had a worry stone made and dedicated to my dog, Gabriel, who passed away in 2014. If I ever want a memorial again, I plan to go back to Jeremie Draper Glass. I was nervous going in, but I was met with smiles, compassion, and understanding. This worry stone memorial has helped me in so many ways. I can take Gabriel with me anywhere I go. It was the best experience I've ever had getting a memorial done.

After my mother passed away, I was overwhelmed with grief and wanted to find a way to both remember her and feel her presence every day. A close friend suggested that I reach out to Jeremie Draper Glass to learn more about their memorials. Once I saw the glass hearts, I knew this was exactly what I was looking for. Fast forward 6 years and my dog (whom my mom dearly loved) died unexpectedly. Once again, I was heartbroken, but knew immediately what I wanted to do – combine both of their ashes in the same beautiful heart. I see their heart every day and smile remembering the love all of us shared. Jeremie and her team are respectful and thoughtful. Whether creating a memorial for a person or a pet, they clearly understand the pain that comes with grief and gently guide people through the process. I highly recommend Jeremie Draper Glass to help with your memorial needs.

We had four memorials made, two of my father’s cremains one of my sister’s, and one of my wife’s mother’s cremains. My sister had requested, for our father’s memorial, a beautiful white pumpkin with a golden vine. Unfortunately, my sister passed away and I was allowed to display that memorial next to the memorial that I had requested. I had asked if Jeremie would be able to create a duck for my Dad’s cremains. She and her team put their hearts and souls into creating a treasured piece for me. At the onset, Jeremie said that she had never created a duck before, but would try to honor my Dad with my wishes. She excelled in her efforts! The third memorial she made was a cardinal of my sister’s cremains for her husband. My wife had requested a red heart memorial of her mother’s cremains with a stand. Creating memorials is a wonderful way to honor and celebrate the memory of a family member. I know JDraper Glass takes great pride in their work and it shows. Through several emails and photos, they were able to capture the perfect memorials.

After I went through the loss of my chow lab, I searched for a memorial worthy of him. When I saw the display at J. Draper Glass I knew it would be a perfect tribute for him. I met with Jeremie privately to discuss what I wanted. I ended up getting two worry stones. She personalized the color exactly how I pictured it. My stones are a beautiful golden orange with one purple spot to signify his purple tongue. Jeremie created my stones with love. They are certainly not the most expensive or complex pieces she has ever made, but I know that she infused them with just as much feeling as the most intricate art she makes. And when I need to feel my boy with me and remember the comfort he could bring me on a bad day, I can put one of my stones in my pocket and know he is really with me. It means so much to me that she took the time to listen and understand how much it would mean to me.

We had two heart-shaped memorials made that are dedicated to my late husband, Colonel Gary W. Miller, USMC, (Ret). Jeremie’s staff is caring and supportive and took the time to explain all glass options for cremains and how the glass-blowing process works. One heart I kept, and one was given to Gary's 97-year-young mother. We both cherish them! The "Marine Corps" blue color signifies, for us, his 30 years of military service in the Marine Corps. And the heart size is perfect to hold in your hand or for display. They are absolutely magnificent!

Jeremie made numerous memorials using both my mother’s and father’s cremains. My experience with this company is nothing short of remarkable. These ladies are kind, compassionate and very respectful. Seeing the memorials every day with the sunlight shining through them has made hard days better. I always feel that they are with us.

In January of 2023, my uncle passed away after a long battle of cancer. We have a very small family so this was very hard for my mother. To commemorate my uncle and all of our memories, I had memorials made. I had a solid pumpkin, a hanging sun catcher and a bird. I almost cried when I picked them up as they were all so beautiful. Those gifts meant more to my mom and son than anything else I could have given them. All of the staff were amazing to work with. Everyone was so kind and understanding of how difficult this can be when a loved one is lost.

I would never trust anyone else with my loved one's ashes. J. Draper Glass was very respectful and did such an amazing job with all the colors of our worry stones in dedication to our son, Jeremy. We travel with the stones and they bring comfort and calm to our lives. I keep mine next to me on the bedside table. When you hold the calming stone up it looks like sparkling stars. My son was a sparkling star, and it's a reminder of the love I have for him.

I knew I wanted something special done with our animals’ ashes and J Draper Glass has always done beautiful work. I love Jeremie’s glass pumpkins and wanted blown pumpkins with their ashes. We designed them together to reflect their coloring, and they turned out perfectly. These pieces sit on our mantle above the fireplace next to their portraits, pawprints, collars and decorative urns. They reside in a place of honor in our house watching over us. I recommend J. Draper Glass to all my clients who are looking for a memorial piece for their pets, and I will continue to use them for my pets.
