Running for the Roses

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Now available: Our new Bronze Beauty Equestrian Keepsake Urn is such a powerful tribute and so well done! Sculpted using the lost wax process, this sculpture has the look and weight of bronze and stands on it’s own as a piece of art, a keepsake urn or mounted on a full size horse urn. […]

Back in Black

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Motorcycle Urns are back at the Urn Garden after a brief absence. We’ve had many families looking for the “Back in Black” motorcycle urn, so we’re offering a basic steel tank painted in rich red satin, silver, or glossy black enamel. Topped with a decorative chrome gas cap, our motorcycle tank urn easily loads […]

We Have Wood!

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Wood work. All week. Adding new styles to our wooden urn line. Love this beautiful high gloss burl wood chest.

And the Sonota Memory Chest Urn. Our talented engraver can personalize the wood urns with names and dates, and customize for the deer hunter or hummingbird lover.

Cheryl Thompson Morrow Pt. 2

Friday, April 25th, 2008

More with Cheryl Thompson-Morrow of Thompson Funeral Home, Broadman, OH.
20 Years Later: “It’s been a good career choice, the initial transition was difficult, because many of the families insisted on working with my father, and weren’t accustomed to a female funeral director.
On Technology: “Technology has really freed our time up, in that in the old […]

Paddle Out

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

No, not this kind, although we are drying out. (Thanks to the busdriver for the image)

This kind:

The Hawaiian inspired ash scattering style at sea.  So beautiful.
And on a lighter note, In the Mailbox: POSTCARDS FROM MAUI

The parents are in Hawaii and here’s a quick note from Dad, verbatim:
Hi Lenette
I’m trying to figure out how to […]

Weeping Cherry

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

In The Mailbox: One of our clients sent a nice note thanking us for our assistance and the recommendation of a Weeping Cherry for a tree dedication. Honestly, I don’t remember making that suggestion, but the Weeping Cherry is one of my favorite ornamental trees and a stunning centerpiece for a memorial tribute. […]

Memorial Tips from Keith Richards

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

In this month’s Blender magazine Keith Richards answers a fan’s email:
Can you  clear up once and for all the thing about snorting your dad’s ashes- I’ve seen you quoted as saying that you did, then that you didn’t and then recently that you did.  Which is it?
Richards’ Reply: It’s about halfway in between.  You want […]

Hummers

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

No not this kind.

St. Louis hotel 2005.
This Kind:

We’ve been successful attracting the hummingbirds and butterflies the last couple of years. Even with the hunters next door! According to the calender, the hummingbird scouts should be coming in the next week or so. So, why do I feel pressure?
Funeral Directors, depending on where you are…if you […]

Sunday Worship

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Quiet in the garden on Sunday morning. As our intern tries to focus on career opportunities, we (me, myself, and I) were thinking about our own. Even though we have a project stalled, and urngarden.com, was supposed to be a sideline business, keeps us a little busier than planned… we’re able to focus on what’s […]

Marching Ants

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Here come the ants. In the kitchen. So annoying.
The new addition to our bug collection is the Egyptian Scarab keepsake urn. The scarab beetle was of one of the most important religious symbols in Egypt and many of the dead were buried with scarab amulets as a symbol of regeneration.

Our Sacred Scarab […]
