We love the orange alabaster stone for carving. Softer than marble, the beautiful brilliant orange stone is rare in the mineral kingdom. Alabaster forms close to the earth’s surface and is quarried all over the world, including the United States.
The Urn Garden artists have transformed slabs of alabaster stone, accentuated the natural translucency and veining of the stone, and created a unique, beautiful art piece cremation urn.

For our loved ones that were born in the month of August, a good starting place for planning a memorial theme is the August birth flower, the gladiolus.
Striking beauty, from the Latin word “gladius,” meaning sword. Glads symbolize strength and moral integrity.
If you don’t know the loved one’s favorite color, you could draw on the colors the Peridot gemstone. Peridot is the August birthstone and is mainly green, with golden yellows and brown inclusions. The color of summer.
Ancient Egyptians called peridot “The Gem of the Sun” because it was supposedly too bright to be visible in the sunny Egyptian desert. Legend also suggests that peridot can glow at night and it’s now believed that Cleopatra´s emeralds were really fine, dark green peridots.
Drawing on the color of peridot and the color of summer, Urngarden.com has green and gold urns at a tremendous savings for families.
Check out this unusual idea for a simple, elegant floating glad floral arrangement.

Took a peek at my florist’s selection of wreaths designed for a cremation urn. Not a lot of options, they had two in a notebook, not listed on their website. Here’s some ideas for a memorial service urn floral display staged with various marble, metal, and cloisonne urns.
My favorite is a more wild natural look, with a combination of roses, succulents, and wildflowers. Simple and beautiful and softens the metal urn.
A marble or stone urn is paired with a more traditional style wreath studded with roses, daisies, and greenery.
Lilies are so fragrant, and symbolize friendship.
This next one seems a bit heavy on the pink, but if it was the deceased’s favorite color, hey, bring it on! This particular arrangement gives you an idea of blending the elements of candles, flowers or urn in the loved one’s favorite color to personalize the memorial service. The explosion of pink has all the funeral favorites, roses, Gerber daisies, glads, lilies, and carnations.

The Truth and Friendship marble urn is the first memorial urn featured in our Shades of Blue Cremation Urn Collection. The Urn Garden artists have crafted this cremation urn from the ancient stone Lapis Lazuli , the stone of friendship and truth. The blue stone is said to encourage harmony in relationships and help its wearer to be authentic and give his or her opinion openly.
Lapis features deep shades of blue dusted with golden flecks of pyrite and intermittent gray or white calcite deposits and takes an excellent polish that shimmers like a star. This ancient stone was a favorite with the Egyptians who crafted it for jewelery, and used the crushed minerals for eyeshadow.
