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.

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

and  silver star urn necklace.

Cesar’s right-hand-“man,” Daddy

Cesar Millan announced that his longtime friend and partner, Daddy the pit bull passed away Friday after at the ripe age of 16.

Daddy stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts.

RIP Daddy.

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.

This month we’re featuring heart-shaped cremation urns, jewelry urns, and memorial stones. One of our favorites are the earth friendly Unity urns.

Unity Floral Urn

These beautiful urns are handmade and feature inlaid fresh flower petals. It is available in three sizes, pet or keepsake size urn, standard adult urn, or a double capacity companion urn.Each urn includes a water-soluble plastic bag for the cremated remains.

The Unity urn is designed for ground burial. Once buried it will degrade naturally over time. Available in three designs with matching keepsakes.

There’s not a huge selection of pet urns for families looking for larger capacity urns for the bigger dog breeds.

Urn Garden has a new style for breeds up to 100 pounds, the metal Paw Print urn can be personalized with engraving.

For families that choose scattering as a method of dispersing ashes, many still like to have a small portion of the ashes or a lock of hair incorporated into a small memorial such as a piece of cremation jewelry or keepsake urn . Others prefer creating a memorial that may include a memorial stepping stone , memorial garden plaque, or a statuary or garden memorial sculpture to honor their loved one. Garden stones and garden benches can also be used indoors or out, and all create loving touches in your sacred space. Whatever your decision, this is a personal choice that is meant to honor and represent your passed loved one as well as heal, restore, and remember the time and life that your loved one spent on Earth.

There are many ways that scattering methods can be used to create a personalized ceremony.

When you sell the product that no one wants to buy, it’s always good to hear positive feedback from our customers.  So, when one of my customers said it was a pleasure doing business with me, I was skeptical. Really?

And then later, sweet Angela in Indiana sent me a kind word:

I spoke with a very nice lady when I called the 1-888 # to order an urn, I felt like I was talking to a friend. She was so kind. I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for letting us serve you.

We’ve marked down many of our urns in answer to our clients who are googling “cheap urns“.   We have several pages of discount urns and urn specials, including our metal urns with secure threaded lids, as well as the popular biodegradable Shell Urn, designed for scattering ashes over water.

Any questions? Please call for personal service.

Thank you for letting us serve you.
