# Cremation Ashes Ceramic Dishware Chronicle Cremation Design Turns Remains into Dinnerware By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-dish References: [justincrowestudio](http://www.justincrowestudio.com/) & [cremationdesigns](https://cremationdesigns.com/) Whether to help carry on the memory of a loved one or for artistic purposes, Chronicle Cremation Design can create ceramic dishware using the crematory remains of a person. The process is the creation of New Mexico-based artist Justin Crowe and enables the implementation of ashes into dishware of a variety of different styles. The Chronicle Cremation Design was born out of Crowe's art project, 'Nourish,' which has utilized the remains of around 200 anonymous people that were collected from bone dealers. Orders for ceramic dishware including [plates, mugs and bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces) can be made with the ashes of a loved one able to be infused into the creations. This enables consumers to keep a touch of a loved one close without having to keep them in a [traditional urn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sail-funerary-urn). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cremation Ashes Dishware:** Opportunity for creating unique dishware by infusing cremation ashes, providing a sentimental and personalized product. - **Memorial Artistic Creations:** Opportunity to transform crematory remains into beautiful ceramic creations, offering a way to memorialize loved ones in a unique and creative manner. - **Customized Keepsakes:** Opportunity for consumers to preserve the memory of their loved ones by incorporating their ashes into everyday items like dishware, serving as a constant reminder of their presence. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Funeral & Memorial Services:** Opportunity for funeral homes and memorial services to offer personalized and artistic options for remembering loved ones through ceramic dishware made from cremation ashes. - **Art & Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore new mediums and techniques, using cremation ashes to create unique ceramic dishware as a form of commemorative art. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor retailers to offer customized and sentimental products, such as ceramic dishware made from the ashes of loved ones, creating a special and meaningful addition to the home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Ecological Funeral Reefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-reefs.md) - [Design-Forward Funerary Urn Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funerary-urn.md) - [Expandable Spherical Monolithic Urns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urna-project.md) - [Post-Mortem Pet Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cirius-beam-projector.md) - [Deep Sea Funerals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-sea-funeral.md) - [Repurposed Studio Scrap Pottery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery.md) - [Clay-Modeled Multi-Use Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramics-everday-objects.md) - [Mycelium-Made Biodegradable Urns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sail-funerary-urn.md) - [Innovative Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-tableware1.md)
