Miners' Memorial Garden - National Coal Mining Museum

Each glass check is individually handcrafted in a variety of vibrant colours by glass artists Gary and Annette McMillan.

Layers of glass are brought together and kiln-formed, fusing your selected personalised text on to the check and creating a unique and lasting memory for years to come.

Your donation will not only be an act of remembrance, you will also be supporting the continuing maintenance of the Miners’ Memorial Garden and the further development of the ‘Lives Lived, Lives Lost’ sculpture that sits at its heart.

Whether you wish to remember a loved one, or share a memory of the community in which you live, there are many ways to remember and personalise your glass check.
