Green and Gold Cremation Urns

Green and gold in the garden.  A cool respite in the heat.

Green, the color of life, renewal. Gold = wealth , riches, and wisdom.

To celebrate Life and the green and gold of summer, we have a collection of green cremation urns on sale. If green is a favorite color of your loved one, or is the color that marks their birth month consider building a memorial in that color scheme. It’s a fresh spin on drab mourning colors. The style below has a highly polished emerald green finish with inlayed mother of pearl leaves that glow against the dark background.  So pretty and would work for either male or female.

Man’s Ashes to Be Spread in Fireworks Celebration

vintage 4th of July postcard

BUNNELL, Fla. — The family of a Florida man has chosen a unique way to spread his ashes: Sending them off in fireworks during a lakeside Fourth of July celebration.

Tom Moore died unexpectedly in May, and his remains were cremated.

The central Florida man always enjoyed watching fireworks on the Fourth of July, and so his family approached a fireworks company about spreading his ashes during the celebration.

Santore & Sons agreed to accommodate the family’s request, and began packing Moore’s ashes into shells on Tuesday.

A pyrotechnic tribute to Moore will be held on Sunday.

Comments on this article are a mixed bag, and while this ash scattering ceremony isn’t for every family, it’s definitely a personalized memorial service.

Friendship and Truth Stone 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.
