Private Paddle Out Ceremony

September 21, 2012 urngarden.com

Dear Mother Vintage Postcard

We’re seeing a shift lately in more families choosing to scatter the ashes either over water or a sacred space on land. One client has been on our mind this week as she prepared for a private ceremony to scatter her mother’s ashes.

Her mom has been gone for a couple of years now, and while they were very close, for the last two weeks the daughter had been having disturbing dreams about her mother. In the dreams her mom was upset with the daughter and on a couple of occasions would demand to know “What are you waiting for?”

Well, she was waiting on her sister. They weren’t that close, and geographically it wasn’t convenient. But lately the daughter felt it as if her mother was sending her a message that it was time to do something with the ashes. Her mom loved the beach, so she did the research for dispersing ashes in water and decided on a don’t ask, don’t tell private ash scattering ceremony.

She ordered the Journey water burial urn, checked the weather, took the rest of the week off, gathered her wake board, and planned to paddle out for small memorial service as we approach the first day Autumn. Just a girl and her mom at the beach.

Lenette,
Thank you so much for all your help.  True to your word, my order was delivered in time and was just what I needed.
Paddling out in about an hour to honor my Mom….

Shopping for urns for ashes is probably the last thing you want to be doing right now, or ever. When trying to make a decision about which urn for ashes to get, it helps to know where the final resting place will be. Are you going to keep it in the home, bury, or scatter the ashes? You may decide that a bronze urn that can be kept in the home and moved to the cemetery later might be a good choice. Brass urns are an affordable option and provide secure storage of the ashes and can also be buried. Biodegradable urns are available for ash scattering ceremonies or an earth friendly green funeral.

Feel free to call Urn Garden for personal service if you need assistance making your selection.

Military Veterans Choose Cremation in Record Numbers

February 23, 2011 urngarden.com

As national cemeteries across the country are expanding at a rate not seen since the Civil War, more space is being devoted to niches and plots for urns. Veterans are opting for cremation in record numbers, doubling the cremation rate of civilians.

Many U.S. national cemeteries less than 10 years old are getting  multi-million dollar  upgrades to add burial spaces for cremated remains and above-ground niches for cremation urns.

Personal cemetery plots are wonderful,” said retired Marine, Jim Long. The retired Marine likes the option of being buried in a national cemetery with his comrades in arms. “I’m not a religious man, but the Lord does want us to stay together. We must have one hell of an army in heaven.”
