Heart Urn Necklace

indian vintage valentine

Tis the season for symbols of love and if you are looking for memorial jewelry that honors a lost love then check out our cremation pendants that are actually mini urns. In times of death and mourning, hearts symbolize an individual’s love and affection for a person who passed away. It’s no surprise then that heart urn necklaces are a popular type of cremation jewelry. Besides being discreet, they bring comfort and healing to those grieving.

Heart urn necklaces are like other pieces of cremation jewelry. They are made from the same materials as traditional necklaces. Each urn holds a small portion of cremated remains, petals from funeral flowers or a lock of hair. They come in a variety of styles including lockets, floating pendants, heart and key designs and more.

But often times, a heart necklace also symbolizes the unbreakable connection between two or more people because the heart is the center of a person’s body and soul. Religiously, hearts represent the center of being, and one may think of Jesus and his Sacred Heart.

More than the heart design itself, ladies who wear this type of jewelry often are comforted with the thought that their loved one is near.  What better place to keep a loved one’s memory than around your neck and close to your heart.

Affordable urn jewelry that’s discreet and meaningful. For more cremation pendants and memorial rings inspired by the classic sign of love visit Urn Garden to see our selection of heart-shaped urn pendants to wear as an urn necklace or bracelet charm.

If I Die Young, Go in Love and Peace

A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’
Funny when you’re dead how people start listenin’

Custom Engraved Marble Cremation Urn

marble cremation urnTruth and Friendship blue marble cremation urn is crafted from the ancient stone Lapis Lazuli. Lapis features deep shades of blue dusted with golden flecks of pyrite and sprinkles of  gray or white calcite deposits and takes an excellent polish that shimmers like a star. This stone was a favorite with the ancient Egyptians who crafted it for jewelry, and used the crushed minerals for eye shadow.

Urn Garden customers often choose to have this memorial urn engraved with images of hummingbirds, deer, or other nature scenes along with personalizing the urn with name, dates, or a brief sentiment.

Urn engraving is always a good idea if time permits.  A good engraver does not like to be rushed and depending on the work load urn engraving can take a couple of extra days to process.  The client should be available to approve a proof via email before production begins.

Make it personal and mark the urn for life and keep it in a safe secure location.

Jack LaLanne Rest In Peace

Godfather of Fitness

The Godfather of Fitness Jack LaLanne passed on January 23, 2011 at age 96.  Though for many years dismissed as merely a “muscle man” — a notion fueled to some extent by his amazing feats of strength — LaLanne was the spiritual father of the health movement that blossomed into a national craze of weight rooms, exercise classes and sports clubs. He proposed the then-radical idea that women, the elderly and even the disabled should work out to retain strength.

RIP Jack

SILVER SPRINGS, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35)

The victim in the burglary said she returned to her home to discover that several items were missing. Some of the items included electronics and jewelry, but what she found most troubling, was the theft of her late father’s ashes and the ashes of her two Great Danes.

During the investigation, detectives learned that the ashes were taken because the suspects mistook the cremains for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine.
