Power of Personalization: Custom Columbarium Niche Box

 

A local woman near us was looking to have a custom box to fit a Columbarium Niche for her family.  Her brother had passed away years ago in 1980, and his ashes were at rest at a cemetery in California.  This past Christmas, their mother passed away. 

The remaining siblings decided to place mom's ashes with their bother.  They needed a special box to fit the 10" x 5" x 11" space, personalized with both their names, dates, and epitaphs.

We hand-built this ceramic box to fit the space....engraving it exactly as they wished with their family name large and set between their two individual names, and a small cross in the middle.

Pre-need and a Work of Art...Cheers to another 40 years!

Upon ordering a Winged-Heart YURN, "Fierce Robin" wrote:

It isn't too often that we get an order for pre-need arrangements... so, it was a different kind of experience to connect with Robin regarding her memorial artwork...rather than a mournful event.

She had come across our YURN listing previously.... So, with an approaching heart surgery and the encouragement of her daughter, she decided to go ahead and purchase the urn she wanted for herself. And, Lord willing, she would would be able to enjoy the piece as a work of art in her home, for many years, until the time comes to utilize it as a functional cremation urn.

We love the thoughtfulness she put into her decision, for her daughter and her outlook regarding our "art".  It's so touching to know that our art brings value and comfort to those grieving, and also to those who can enjoy them as artful home decor, prior to needing them for their intended purpose.

We enjoyed getting to know more about Robin through this experience.  Her career in healthcare and God-centered passion for helping others, her love of traveling, and her overall fun personality and zeal for life.

While working on her piece, we were surprised to wake one morning to read the sweetest five-star review on our Etsy store.....we hadn't even completed or shipped her memorial yet, and still she gave us a glowing review!  How awesome!

We completed Robin's Heart sculpture and she received it prior to her surgery.

We are happy to follow-up on the status of Robin's open-heart surgery...

She pulled through it like a champ!  Now, she'll heal and prepare herself for a vacation to St. Lucia in April.  :)

Live it up! With love! ~

Messengers from Our Loved Ones

According to our friends at UrnGarden.com...

• It’s not unusual to look for signs from a loved one after he or she dies. These symbols not only bring a feeling of hope, but a sense of peace and renewal. It’s a popular notion that cardinals are often seen as messengers from our loved ones. Just their presence symbolizes a myriad of ideals, thoughts and feelings.  > read more

She Was Pure Sunshine

Doris June Forsythe

January 4, 1931 - April 2, 2015

Over the last month, we had the profound experience of caring for Jamaica's grandmother, Doris June, as she made her transition from this Earth. Cancer went mis/undiagnosed and by the time she received an official diagnosis, it had spread into her lymphatic system and spine...hospice arrived that same day.
For 22 days we were able to care for her and tell her how much we love her- although short, we appreciate that time and opportunity. She was pure sunshine and joy to all who knew her and she will be deeply missed. 
Many thanks to our buddy, Stephen, at Star of Texas Casket Company for collaborating with us on her sentimental and personalized Cedar casket. It was beautiful and we know she would have loved the special touches carved into it for her. Rest in peace, sweet Doie, your legacy of love, faith and laughter lives on in your children, grand and great.
