Surprise Judgments

September 19, 2007 urngarden.com

A client in Texas tells us that the funeral director was surprised when she booked a cremation, casket, and chapel for viewing/visitation. "Well, you know he'll have to be embalmed." he responded. She did. That's what she wanted. She had her father-in-law's blue cloisonne urn that she'd bought earlier and wanted the same thing for his son. Another client selected a keepsake urn for her father-in-law who was Jewish. Even though Jewish law and tradition is to be buried in the ground, … [Read more...] about Surprise Judgments

Goodbye Joe

September 10, 2007 urngarden.com

We lost a good friend in the garden last week, Joe Rook on 9/5/07. Joe had a double lung transplant at Barnes Jewish Hospital in April. The last three months of Joe's life was amazing; he enjoyed every day to the fullest! Lakin' it and loving life! Joe belonged to Rice Camp at Table Rock Lake and spent most of his free time at his lake home. Nothing would make Joe happier than a 100-degree day and a bottle of suntan oil! Joe knew no strangers, and had countless friends that he helped … [Read more...] about Goodbye Joe
