Cremation Urns for the Seasons of Life

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

It’s dry here and the leaves are fading and dropping off the trees. Rain is needed in the garden if we are going to have any color this fall. Urns for the upcoming season include our pretty maple leaf urn pendant than can be mounted on either a chain or bracelet as a keepsake.

Rocks in the Garden: Orange Alabaster Cremation Urn

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

We love the orange alabaster stone for carving. Softer than marble, the beautiful brilliant orange stone is rare in the mineral kingdom. Alabaster forms close to the earth’s surface and is quarried all over the world, including the United States.

The Urn Garden artists have transformed slabs of alabaster stone,  accentuated the natural translucency and veining of the stone, and created a unique, beautiful art piece cremation urn.

Friendship and Truth Stone Urn

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

cobalt blue marble urn

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.

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.
