sunset on record cold day — Record cold day in February

Why is it that on the most bone chilling, record setting cold days that we’ll also have the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets? The same is true after a wicked storm. Several years ago, after the devastating tornado that ravaged Joplin, MO the sky was still dark, but the most awe inspiring double rainbow appeared.

The beauty is there if you seek it out. Maybe the old adage is true, if you rise above the storm you’ll find the sunshine. As the days shorten and darkness comes earlier than ever, we’re always looking for the light and energy. To focus on the beauty during these dark days.

The sunset cremation urn collection focuses on that theme with connections to fishing, hunting, and landscapes in the traditional metal vase shape, all beautiful works of art in their own way. Most of these cremation urns can be engraved and look great with personalization.

One of the most beautiful is the Lake Tahoe Sunset cremation urn. We were so lucky to connect with a Nevada photographer who let us use this image to create an Urn Garden exclusive. His form of payment was that we had to promise to make a donation to one of our favorite charities, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. We were glad to do it. This gorgeous pink and purple mountain sunset over the lake is breath taking.

November 3, 2014 urngarden.com

Every year Bass Pro sponsors a fitness festival that attracts thousands of people and since our offices are located near the starting line, we can hear the announcer calling out the the names as the runners cross the finish line. In addition to all the activity this weekend, seems like every week we’ve got a sale ad in the mailbox that is full of camo, hunting gear, and flannel. We’re sponsoring our own fall hunting and fishing classic and have launched a couple of new cremation urns that celebrate the harvest season.

For fowl hunters we’ve got a sunset scene with a man and his dog. Gorgeous hand painted design looks so good engraved. We’ve been calling this a duck hunter urn, but some have suggested that the birds resemble geese flying.

With the change in weather, the deer have been on the move and for deer hunters or those who just like the idea of the deer as a spirit animal, our premium bronze cremation urn captures this perfectly in the form of a powerful stag sculpture. This urn takes a few weeks to create and is not your run of the mill traditional vase shape. The deer urn is an investment in quality American art and will blend into your home decor.

Just because there is movement in the woods doesn’t mean that the fish aren’t biting. This is prime fishing as well and for those sportsmen that love to cast their line, we’ve got some new styles as well as old favorites.

Daybreak Fishing Urn layers of rich chocolate lacquer with a fisherman wading out in to the water against a sun streaked sky. This style is so attractive and is another one that looks good engraved.

The old favorites Bass Fishing urn with it’s distinctive underwater camo scene and this tiny version of a bass that we launched earlier this summer has been a hit with families that are keeping a small amount of ashes.

Whatever the season, we can help you pick the perfect memorial for your loved one. We are always interested in our customers feedback and ideas for development.

Deer Cremation Urns-Magical and Creative

March 24, 2014 urngarden.com

When we chose the deer as inspiration for a cremation urn, we were thinking of the magical qualities of this animal. This style is a favorite with families that are honoring a hunter or outdoors man and is definitely a statement piece that takes a few weeks to produce.

Crafted in bronze, it’s more expensive than many of the traditional vase shaped urns and is made in the USA. The beauty of this style is that it’s a bronze memorial that can be displayed in the home as a piece of sculpture, safely stores the ashes of your loved one, but does not SCREAM urn.

Most commercial representations of deer characterize them as gentle and sensitive creatures. Deer spirit animals are no different. By leaning on this animal, you will assume the power to deal with challenges with grace and dignity. Deer totem wisdom gives humans the ability to be vigilant, instinctive and to move quickly.

Deer Symbolism
Deer represent a variety of characteristics from soft and gentle to strong and determined. Others include:

Ability to move through life and its challenges and obstacles with grace and gentleness
    Getting in touch with one’s inner child and innocence
    Being intuitive and sensitive
    Being vigilant

Deer totem allows people to bring grace into all aspects of their lives including during life’s most challenging moments. The spirit will remind you to remain calm and graceful during hard times, qualities brought forth from the heart. A deer’s horns are great for defending and asserting one’s self, but being gentle doesn’t mean you are defenseless. With a deer’s powerful spirit on your side, you can be strong and determined yet graceful simultaneously.

Deer in Mythology and Culture
In Celtic mythology, deer are magical and creative creatures that are able to move gracefully between worlds. St. Patrick, for instance, and his companions were said to be transformed into deer to escape a trap by a pagan king. In Greek mythology, a deer is associated with Artemis, a virginal huntress. She transformed Actaeon into a stag after he witnessed her unclothed body.

The Native American Pawnee believed the deer was the guide to the light of the Sun. Early Christians said deer would spit water into a hole or crevice where a poisonous snake was hiding, drawing it out and then killing it with its hooves. Finally, in ancient China and Cambodia, the stag was also associated with the sun, but negatively as it was thought to bring a drought.
