Burl Wood Funeral Urns

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Burl wood is highly prized by artists because of its unique shapes and ring patterns. Burl wood is a type of fast growing, abnormal growth found on some trees. Burls form due to environmental stress or damage, often caused by either a fungal or insect attack.

Dust in the Wind: Scattering Ashes Ceremony

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

The most common method of scattering ashes is known as “casting” , which is basically tossing the ashes into the wind.  Let’s talk about the WIND.  Consider wind direction and try to cast down to prevent “blow-back”.  The dense nature of human ashes combined with a fine powder forms a whitish-gray cloud when it becomes airborne.

Some families want to release the ashes all at once, and others want to spread the ashes as a group, each member taking a turn scattering the remains.

This family opted to split the ashes in individual envelopes, some DIY-ers use paper cups.   Your family funeral director can make this process much easier if you need assistance or have questions regarding this process.

Scattering tubes and biodegradable scattering urns are also available.

Pure Gold in the Garden

Monday, June 8th, 2009

“Tis the summer of retirement parties for many of our friends in the Queen City fire department. Like many cities across the nation, our police and fire department have some pension issues.

So we hooked up the smoker, iced the keg, tuned the instruments and kicked the first party off in a green valley just south of the garden.

And when we’re not having a hoedown, we’re hunching the keyboard and rolling out a line of high quality 14K urn jewelry for our clients.

It’s an honor to  serve our client families, but it’s hard not to be distracted by the beauty out the window.

Stay focused and:
