Remains to be Seen LLC.  - The Art After Life

Unique & Affordable Cremation Memorial Solutions

Losing a family member is never easy, and deciding what to do for a lasting memorial can be equally challenging. With cremation services becoming the popular alternative to traditional burial, you now have some choices. You can do what’s always been done and keep your loved ones cremains in a decorative container, or choose something more personal.

Introducing; Remains to be Seen, an affordable and unique way to use cremation ashes (or other remains) to memorialize your family, friends or beloved pets! We have developed a process whereby a small amount of cremation ash (or other remains) is gently mixed with pigments to become part of a commissioned memorial painting. Each stroke of each color is layered one after another to become a soulful tribute that will have a special place in your home and become a family heirloom for generations to come. 

Our Story

The idea came to me when I saw an old bumper sticker that read, “This bumper sticker was printed with ink that was mixed with the ashes of Mount St. Helens.” Pondering the bumper sticker and knowing my wish was to be cremated when I die, I thought, I could have my cremation ashes mixed with paint and have a memorial painting commissioned. I could then leave this painting for the loved ones that I left behind, and it might eventually become a family heirloom.

When I told my friends and family, some thought it was a bit odd, but they also realized what an incredibly unique idea it was for a proper and beautiful memorial. Well the idea was just that, an idea, and it stayed locked in the back of my head for years. However, recently I was laid off and I decided I did not want to go back to another corporate cubicle for another decade, so I presented the idea to a beloved artist friend and Remains to be Seen LLC. was born.

We believe that having cremation ashes in an urn or keeping other remains is a good way to remind yourself that your loved one has left this realm, but when you choose to use them in artwork, it's a vibrant and unique way to transform those remains and remember that they lived.
