Find the Key. You’ve Got the Gold.

May 20, 2012 urngarden.com

For days I’ve been trying to churn out a post on memorial chests and the words won’t come. Maybe because it’s been done. But I got sidetracked thinking about it and Sammy Hagar’s Three Lock Box came to mind. What is a three lock box? I looked it up.

The lyrics to the title track is commonly accepted as sexual innuendo, however Hagar has presented a story with a much more philosophical bent: “It’s got to do with deep sea diving, when you look for a buried treasure. The ultimate treasure would be a sunken treasure with three locks on it, because that means it was the most valuable stuff that the queen had on that ship. And you need three different guys with keys to open it, that way no one could steal it. So a ‘Three Lock Box’ to me is within yourself. If you unlock the treasure of your physical, and your mental and your spiritual potential – those three in balance – you are a real human being and almost godly.” From Wikipedia.

Mining for potential gold is appealing, painful, and in progress. “Real human” and “almost godly” is puzzling and has a Baptist ring to it.  Let me hear the song.

Is Sammy wearing camo spandex? That vid led to the next one:

Then, I got distracted by Eddie’s camel toe and went on to read about Sammy’s tumultuous relationship with Van Halen. Now I have to go order the book  Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock.

And if you really came here wanting to study memorial chests, here you go:

Perfect Urn For My Dad

December 3, 2008 urngarden.com

One of our clients called this am to check on her order.

Mahogany Burl Memorial Urn
Mahogany Burl Memorial Urn

It’s been almost a year since her father died and she’s finally ready to select an urn to take to her mother. Her dad’s ashes have been in a cardboard container in his daughter’s possession. Her mom has been unsure what to do with the ashes and felt that keeping them in the home might be too morbid…but didn’t want to bury. His room and personal effects are still the way he left them when he departed this world.

Her father had been a wood worker and liked to restore antiques. He loved the rich color of mahogany and liked to work with the burl species of wood. The daughter decided that our memorial chest would be the perfect resting place, discreetly on the dresser until the family decides what the next step will be.
