The Fall color is nearing it’s peak and we’re busy getting ready for the change in season that’s just around the corner and makes our hearts heavy as we button up the boat and pack up the toys of summer. We’re not winter people, but we try to embrace the inevitable changes that occur and find beauty where ever we can.

Every Autumn, we showcase our Fall Splendor line of cremation urns, part of our Seasons of Life Collection. Cremation urns don’t have to be drab and dark, these styles often have the traditional vase shape but the colors are bright and vibrant shades of red, amber, and gold. Jewelry designs that will hold a tiny bit of ashes styled in a leaf shaped pendant will keep your loved one close to your heart and serve as a mini memorial.

If cremation jewelry is not your thing, but you want a small vessel to use as a keepsake, many of the adult urns have matching companion pieces in small sizes for families that are going to share the ashes. Often available in vase or heart shaped designs.

Fall is a good time to plant a tree or flowering bush as a living memorial and we have stones and markers that can be personalized for a dedication.

Cremation Urns Featuring the Divine Dolphin

March 8, 2014 urngarden.com

Humans have had close relationships with many marine animals over time, but none more divine than dolphins. People are drawn to them because of their intelligence, playfulness and compassion. Dolphin cremation urns and jewelry featuring the image and symbolism of the dolphin have been popular with our families.

The metal urns are hand painted in rich sunset colors and are attractive enough for display in the home, yet suitable for burial. Pendants designed to hold a small amount of ashes are available in both silver and gold.

As spirit animals dolphins appeal to a wide range of people, here’s a a few reasons why:

They travel alone or in pods and have strong pectoral flippers to help them steer through the water. Their flippers also allow them to stroke one another, which helps them develop strong natural bonds. Dolphins that are socially developed play harmoniously, swim in synchronicity and leap high out of the water.

Great Communicators
Dolphins are also awesome communicators, a trait we can learn from these mammals. They speak through a variety of sounds, clicks and whistles as well as through body movements. Spiritual traditions claim that dolphins symbolize the breath of life, freedom and harmony. Some claim that since angels are purely spiritual beings who can appear in any form, they can appear as dolphins if it would help them fulfill God’s mission.

Commonly considered the “king of fish,” dolphins are not typically dominant animals, but are endearing and offer protection to all who encounter them. Derived from Greek mythology, dolphins also offer the gift of healing and provide a wealth of spiritual messages for everyone.

Dolphins and Dreams
Dreaming of dolphins is quite common. Seeing a dolphin in your dreams symbolizes your need to communicate more clearly between your conscious and subconscious. If the dolphin in your dreams is dying or even hurt, that may be a symbol of hopelessness or depression. Finally, if you are riding a dolphin in your dream, that is a symbol that you are connected to your true self and are happy with whom you are and how your life is going.

Urn Garden Clients Are the Best Teachers

September 7, 2013 urngarden.com

Our clients are our guide as they navigate through difficult journeys. We learn that sometimes it takes a while to find the answers. They teach us about what families are doing to create personal memorials for loved ones and can change with the season. Despite snowy and turbulent spring days families planned tree dedications and small garden memorials, knowing that sunshine and warmer weather would come and light the darkness. A dogwood tree and a small marker for one family, a group of coworkers collected funds to purchase a personalized stone as a tribute to an office mate and will place it in the courtyard.

In addition to multiple pieces of jewelry, one of our families bought several glass vials to be filled with a small amount of ashes because they wanted to hang them from the rear view mirror of their cars. This family was located in the deep south and the funeral director said cremation jewelry was a popular option for families, but displaying the vials in the car was a new idea to her as well.

This summer, roses, hummingbirds, and butterflies have been popular themes that bring comfort and remind us of the season. When Urn Garden first started, choices in urn styles were pretty limited for families, but in the last couple of years there has been an explosion of creativity in the market, more competition and better prices. This creates an advantage for the families, but also can be overwhelming when trying to make a decision during a difficult time. We try to keep it simple by offering the styles that families want and not bombarding them with every urn available. If they want a particular style and it’s not on the site, we’ll try to procure it.

We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our clients and help them create affordable loving memorials and the lessons they teach us every day.

Roses for June Birthdays and Cremation Urns

June 21, 2013 urngarden.com

It’s so good to see the vibrant colors of summer as the roses bloom and their sweet fragrance fills the air. Since June’s birth flower is the rose, you could use this flower as inspiration for creating a memorial service that honors a June birthday, or simply to symbolize and express the love the family felt for the deceased. You could plant a rose bush as a living memorial, scatter rose petals along with the ashes, incorporate an arrangement or wreath of roses in the loved one’s favorite color, or choose one of the many cremation urns that feature the image of a rose.

Rose petal color can be used to express the symbolism in the language of flowers.

Red: Romantic
Pink: Admiration or Grace
Dark Pink: Gratitude and appreciation
Light Pink: Sweet and innocent
White: Pure, friendship
Yellow: Caring and friendship
Orange: Passionate
Burgundy: Beauty
Black: Death and farewell

Earlier in the month of June, Urn Garden released a couple of new styles of urns featuring the beauty of the rose.

The Kindred Rose Urn is a combination of pink, red, and creamy white antique roses on a neutral background. Secure metal urn with threaded lid is suitable for either display or burial.

Midnight Rose is a metal urn with a highly polished finish and glowing mother of pearl inlay. This urn also comes in a ruby red finish.

Another popular option is the Tear Drop Rose urn jewelry designed to hold a trace amount of ashes or other small keepsake.
More cremation urns, jewelry, and keepsakes featuring the everlasting beauty of the rose can be found at Urn Garden.

Portable Memorial: Cremation Jewelry and Lockets for Ashes

May 29, 2013 urngarden.com

There’s no doubt than when a loved one dies, many long to have him or her close to their heart again. One popular choice, especially for women, is cremation lockets for ashes. These delicate and elegant-looking necklaces have pendants or lockets that discreetly hold a minuscule amount of cremains. Some styles also have a space for an image of your loved one to be included.

Lockets for ashes are unique expressions of love and devotion to the person who died. As cremation becomes a more popular choice for people, the demand for jewelry such as lockets, also increases.

Cremation lockets come in a variety of styles and designs. Instead of ashes, many of these cremation lockets can also hold small keepsakes such as pressed flowers, locks of hair or sand from a favorite beach. They come in gold or silver and chains are typically not included. There are also lockets available for pets’ ashes as well.

Cremation jewelry such as lockets for ashes also lets families hold on to a piece of their loved ones. Since so many families are mobile and don’t stay in one place forever, being able to take a piece of their deceased loved one just makes sense. You can take a locket or pendant with you wherever you go!
