Bastet Keepsake Urns

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

One of our clients called to thank us for the Egyptian urns she bought for her sister who loved all things Egyptian.  The family purchased four of the Bastet canopic jars and plans to divide and spread her ashes all over the world as she requested.

Check out our new Bastet Egyptian keepsake urn.

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

Egyptians often buried cats with their owners. And Florida recently passed legislation allowing pets to be buried with their owners.

For the royally pampered pooch, our latest pet urn in the Egyptian Urn Collection.

Mighty Isis

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

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.

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.

A Wild Ride

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.
