This is an important point to make in why we have decided to pursue our ideas for cremation urns...we hope to change the notion of the typical urn form found in traditional urns, by creating works that are out-of-the-ordinary and
down-to-earth…sculptural urns that are honest in subject, but discreet
in function. It is our vision to create endearing pieces that match the
personality or interests of the individual, while also serving as an
artistic element among home décor. Our goal is to provide to families heirloom-quality works of art that have a distinctive presence that they can feel a connection to,
find comfort in, and have stories for generations to come.A: The most recent industry research (a 2006 Disposition, Container and Service Survey conducted by the Cremation Association of North America) indicates that approximately 60 percent of families selected a cremation urn vs. a temporary container.
