The Fleur de Lis symbol has appeared on countless coats of arms, flags, architecture, and remains an enduring symbol of France and New Orleans. The Fleur de Lis literally means “lily flower” and the symbol is a stylized interpretation of a lily. Urn Garden has modernized the famous French icon into a piece of memorial jewelry.

My dad likes the show Deadliest Catch. In a phone conversation the other day, he asked me if I’d ever seen the show. No, but I’d seen news feeds and knew that one of the captains had died suddenly.
He went on to to describe the season finale, Captain Phil’s memorial service. Dad knew that we sold motorcycle tank urns, and went on to describe the customized urn that was designed.
Deadliest Catch, Phil Harris Urn
Well, evidently Phil’s untimely death made for some great t.v., because I found pages and pages on a Deadliest Catch discussion board. I had no idea it had such a following. And the urn design by the Killer Paint Company? A huge hit with the fans.
We were thinking about going to the lake this weekend, and evidently so our some of our friends and family. We’ve had several calls lately from all over the country asking questions about water burial. They want to go to the lake, off the dock, maybe in a boat.
We’ve been cultivating the beauty of fresh flowers as a cool respite from this summer’s heat. The fragrance and delicate beauty have been a bright spot in challenging world.
Wreaths and flower petals are a simple and beautiful touch to an ash scattering ceremony, whether it’s at the lake, on the shore, or at sea.
An inexpensive wreath can be made with daisies, the April birth flower.
This might not be the best choice for a water burial, but I do love this wreath created with succulents.
BUNNELL, Fla. — The family of a Florida man has chosen a unique way to spread his ashes: Sending them off in fireworks during a lakeside Fourth of July celebration.
Tom Moore died unexpectedly in May, and his remains were cremated.
The central Florida man always enjoyed watching fireworks on the Fourth of July, and so his family approached a fireworks company about spreading his ashes during the celebration.
Santore & Sons agreed to accommodate the family’s request, and began packing Moore’s ashes into shells on Tuesday.
A pyrotechnic tribute to Moore will be held on Sunday.
Comments on this article are a mixed bag, and while this ash scattering ceremony isn’t for every family, it’s definitely a personalized memorial service.
We’ve always been a little intrigued by the Victorian art form of Memento Mori. We have a small collection of urn keepsakes that we’ve added to the Urn Garden.
Inspired by the glass lockets that were used to store locks of hair, we’ve continued the tradition of memorial jewelry, with the Heart of Glass Victorian urn locket.

Phoenix Reborn by Iron-Phoenix
A Phoenix is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.
Inspired by the image of the Phoenix, the Urn Garden artists have created a keepsake urn in the style of body art.
