Ashes in the Ink

July 6, 2009 urngarden.com

Back in the day, cutting edge technology allowed our families to pose with the dear departed and record the moment for posterity.

That idea faded and seems creepy now, but what about the background noise I heard this weekend? Snippets of  reality tv with the Jackson Family Show trying to coordinate a very public gold- plated memorial service.

Or the bit of a tattoo road show, featuring a gentleman who mixed a trace of his loved one’s ashes into the ink and had a portrait style memorial tattoo on his chest.

At the quieter end of the spectrum, one of our clients does design work in a memorial garden at a hospital in upstate New York, had this good word to say about our personalized river rock garden stone.

“Both the stone itself and the workmanship — is lovely and has become the new standard in our Memorial Gardens.”
