A Gallery of Angel Cremation Urns

Back in 1982, I spent months in Mountain View Cemetery in Piedmont, California. I was there doing research for my final project prior to taking the examinations for a Master’s degree in anthropology. It was a wonderful place to be, due in part to the images of angels found almost everywhere. A favorite angel is seen below (source):

I’d sit for hours admiring the elegance, pondering significance, and basking in the good feelings generated by this angel’s presence. If you’re ever in Oakland, California, visit Mountain View Cemetery – I’m sure you’ll feel as I did when you see this memorial. Poet Mary Baker Eddy described that feeling well when she wrote:

“When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.”

In celebration of this love, I’d like to share this gallery of some of our most elegant angel cremation urns. If you want more information on any of these urns, simply click on the image.

“For what is it that angels do? They bring us good news. They open our eyes to moments of wonder, to lovely possibilities, to exemplary people, to the idea that God is here in our midst. They lift our hearts and give us wings.” ~ Joan Wester Anderson

“We be light, we be life, we be fire! We sing electric flame, we rumble underground wind, we dance heaven! Come be we and be free!”~ Kate Griffin

“Angels shine from without because their spirits are lit from within by the light of God.” ~ Eileen Elias Freeman

“How wonderful it must be to speak the language of the angels, with no words for hate and a million words for love!” ~ Eileen Elias Freeman

Before I go, I’d like to share this idea, from Deepak Chopra, because it’s elevating – it puts us, in the company of angels as angels:

“The glories of creation are in your very cells; you are made of the same mindstuff as the angels, the stars, and God himself.”

Keep your eyes open! Today may be the day your angelic presence can comfort or aid another. Further reading on celebrating the divine nature of angels can be found here.

“Be an angel to someone else whenever you can,” advises Eileen Freeman, “as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you.”

Angel Urns: Celebrate the Divine

Do you believe in angels? Do you know you have a guardian angel protecting you in an often chaotic world? If so; you (and thousands of others) are the reason why Urn Garden offers an extensive collection of angel urns. Today I’m going to share three beautiful angel cremation urns, each of which is decorated with golden angel’s wings.

What do Angel’s Wing’s Symbolize?

Angels are seen as heavenly beings who serve as God’s messengers. As such, angels have wings so they can traverse the celestial sphere. Functional, yes; but for many people an angel’s wings are far more; they are symbolic of God’s creativity and compassion, through Angels are seen as heavenly beings who serve as God’s messengers. As such, angels have wings so they can traverse the celestial sphere. Functional, yes; but for many people an angel’s wings are far more; they are symbolic of God’s creativity and compassion, through which we can soar to new heights of understanding and joy–even when grieving the death of a loved one. The golden angel’s wings on these three angel urns act as reminders of the celestial gifts we call “angels”, emissaries of God’s loving protection.

The first angel urn for sale here at Urn Garden is the Heart of an Angel Adult Urn for Ashes. Made in the USA by talented husband and wife team, this beauty can be wall mounted and is decorated with hand-carved angel wings which together form a heart. Allow a little lead time on this style, they are made to order.

Rose gold angel wing ash pendant and chain is a small keepsake that holds just a trace amount of cremains. A perfect choice for a tiny memorial to keep close to your heart.

Was Your Mother an Angel?

So many folks I speak with describe their mother (or grandmother!) as “an angel”. There’s a lovely poem celebrating the angelic nature of a loving mother which you’ll find quoted in dozens of online obituaries and resource websites. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find the name of the person who wrote it.

Yet, because it is so often quoted it’s obvious the words strike a chord in the hearts of many, many people. I’d like to thank the author on behalf of us all. Whoever he or she may be; no matter when these words were put to paper–the author of “I Never Saw Your Wings”, written for a beloved mother, has given us quite a gift. (Source: Poems a Plenty)

How is it that I never saw your wings
when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
to the Heavens I could hear the
faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
Mother my angel God has given you your assignment
always my mother forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
the tears I shed since I can no longer hold you in my arms but in my heart.
You earned those wings dear mother
and you will always be me angel eternal.

Such beautiful words and images! The poem reminds me Mother’s Day is just around the corner, making May a perfect time to honor your mother’s memory with an angel urn.

Cremation Urns for Here and Now or in the Future

March 29, 2014 urngarden.com

We subscribe to the notion of staying in the moment, however, we’re seeing more folks thinking ahead and making plans for their final flight. Out of this world. They making difficult purchases, not your favorite thing to shop for while you are still living…cremation urns. Most are in their 70s, usually women. The men call after their wives die.

We recently spoke to a younger lady who was taking care of her fathers arrangements. Years ago he purchased a pre-planned cremation package at the funeral home. Turns out that when the time came to close the deal, the urn was unavailable. Funeral director didn’t have it and the manufacturer out of business. She was hot and on a hunt.

Others, we were able to help. Wanda in Washington, has terminal cancer but still having fun with life. She was drawn to the artistry of crystal and had a hard time deciding between the cobalt blue or the sparkling amethyst.

I felt a connection to this lady, as she had discovered family ties to my community in her genealogy project. I learned a lot talking with her.

She bought space high on a wall at the columbarium in her area, that she referred to as a “drawer”. The bronze plaque that will identify her space will say “Come up and see me some time “!

Another lady started out looking for Egyptian styles and got sidetracked by the pretty pink rose urn. She took the round about way, but was delighted to discover that it was made in America.

Just outside of Las Vegas, a customer knew as soon as she saw the Infinity Angel cremation urn.

She was drawn to the angel because she felt that the world was a dangerous place and she had encountered a real angel across the street. Her neighbor, Angel. a 30 something cancer survivor that knew how to do anything. This customer was going through many life changes with her husband’s recent death. Her 50 year old son was moving home and she was looking forward to that.

Men who are recently widowed seem to gravitate to sturdier materials like wood or marble. Wood is probably more popular and people are always pleasantly surprised by the Love Bird companion urn, because it’s even better than pictured. The workmanship is excellent.

Her Husband Thought She Was Crazy

And finally, we had a prospect that was looking for an urn that was over sized. Just her ashes would be in it, but she wanted room to pack supplies for the journey to the after life. Assorted sundries like corn meal, sugar, jewels, etc. She liked the pottery styles, especially American Indian style with carved feather designs.

This pottery is made by Ozarks natives and so beautiful. Whether you are dealing with life’s challenges here and now or planning for the future, we can help.
