Our Stars in the Sky memorial stone is a great way to dedicate a memorial garden and can be personalized with your loved one’s name and dates.

Verse reads: “Perhaps the stars in the sky are loved ones letting us know they are near by guiding us through the night.”

We’ll close with Paul Rogers and the rest of Bad Company.

Jefferson St. Tree Sculpture

This sculpture is from the 2007 ice storm that wrecked this area.

Unusual Survival Kit Staples: Buy a lot of beer.

We have a new line of wood cremation urns at Urn Garden. The natural beauty and warmth of wood is an excellent choice for families that plan to keep the ashes in the home or secure at a columbarium or niche at the cemetery.

Old Soul Vintage Style Wood Urn

I like the simplicity of this urn style, vintage look, hand painted details, secure lift off lid.

If your tastes run a little richer and want more flair, this gorgeous black and gold trimmed urn may be more your style.

Laurel Black and Gold Hand-Painted Wood Urn

Our attractive full-size adult urn is solid birch wood, hand-painted by our talented artists in striking black and gold accents. Antiqued brass feet.  Urn loads from the top by lifting the lid.

We recently had a family that purchased several pieces of urn jewelry as a memorial to honor the memory of their loved one. Nature themes were prominent, like the clover urn pendant

Gold Four Leaf Clover Urn Necklace

and  silver star urn necklace.

Star Pendant Urn Necklace

While trolling around the webs, I stumbled onto the FCA (F*ck Cancer Army) and the bold  “F*ck Cancer” fashion statement.

This sculpture by one of the Urn Garden artists keeps coming around, and there’s always a wild story to go with it.  The latest is a client who was involved with a Las Vegas animal rescue operation back in the ’80’s. She handled exotics.

Big cats and monkeys.

Funny thing, this story had a familiar ring to it.

Turns out, she had the ashes of a lioness that had been in the closet all these years. She stumbled on to our Brave Heart lion keepsake urn while shopping for a different style cremation urn for another sad occasion.

One look and she knew she had to deal with the lion in the closet. She’s only has half the ashes.  This urn is designed for keepsake size portions and won’t accommodate all of her ashes.  But she has a plan.

Miss Heather,  of NYC gave us a garden tour of some of the memorials spotted lately in her Greenpoint neighborhood.

But first, a brief history moment.

Early Colonization of Greenpoint:

Greenpoint was originally inhabited by Keskachauge Indians, a sub-tribe of the Lenape. Contemporary accounts describe it as remarkably verdant and beautiful, with Jack pine and oak forest, meadows, fresh water creeks and briny marshes. Water fowl and fish were abundant.

Flash forward to our first projects: Airbrush memorials for Luis* and Malo:

Smaller and more subtle examples include this memorial to Alexander McQueen on the B62 bus stop.

*update: Tribute to Luis located in Bushwick. Not Greenpoint.

Campbell St. Roadside Memorial

The tree in midtown has become a roadside memorial.

Yesterday, on my way back to world headquarters, I noticed this tree that appeared to have a fresh bite out of it, debris scattered on the ground, and then the cross at the base of the tree.  This morning I was loading my camera, thought I’d get a picture of it and update on garden happenings.  Before I left, I scanned the local paper and mystery solved.

RIP
