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.

Egypt says its archaeologists have unearthed a Ptolemic temple in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria dating back more than 2,000 years; which may have been dedicated to the ancient cat-goddess Bastet.

Our new Bastet keepsake box designed by a new Urn Garden artist, has a lined interior for storing kitty collars, tags, toys, or a lock of fur.

This pet urn is a replica of an ancient canopic jar is sculpted in designer resin and is rich in color and detail.

Bastet keepsake urn is perfect for tiny treasures.

Perfect for families that want to keep a small bit of ash for spreading later, a lock of hair, or other small memento.

Isis is usually shown with her arms spread, always ready to receive. She covered a lot of territory. I was first introduced to Isis as a kid through the magic of television.

My favorite was Wonder Woman, who always prayed to The Mighty Isis.

Check that wingspan:

Powerful? Isis was the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice, law, and funeral rituals. One of the most popular goddesses in Egypt, she had her own priests and many temples were built in her honor.

We’ve commissioned several styles of urns in the image of Isis for families to use as a keepsake urn for small portions of ash, flowers, or jewelry, or for smaller pets. We’ve had several cat owners purchase these for their cats named….Isis.

One of our newer urn styles is inspired by one of the oldest images: The Arc of the Covenant.

The June Bugs (or Japanese Beetles?) invaded the garden and got busy breeding and munching.

It’s hard to believe that the Egyptians worshiped the dung beetle. The scarab symbol is commonly found in hieroglyphics and jewelry designs.

So we have a love hate relationship with the scarab. Urn Garden commissioned a scarab urn that appeals to pet owners (cat owners especially) and families that want a keepsake urn.

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 keepsake urn comes in green or black, with lined interior and bottom. Perfect size for storing jewelry, a lock of hair, dried flowers, sacred burial ground, or other small mementos.
