Matters of Life and Death

Mark It! It’s Good Day to Ride

Motorcycle tank urns are hot right now. Black seems to be the preferred choice, followed by silver.

This is the third riding buddy my client has lost in the last few years. Not from bike wrecks, but cancer or some other ailment. He bought the silver urn for his bud who’s dying from cancer and going down fast.  He plans to let friends take a sharpie and sign off on the tank.

The client even called back to tell thank us for the speedy service and how pleased he was with the beauty of the tank.

Thank you for letting us serve you.

Back in Black

Motorcycle Urns are back at the Urn Garden after a brief absence. We’ve had many families looking for the “Back in Black” motorcycle urn, so we’re offering a basic steel tank painted in rich red satin, silver, or glossy black enamel. Topped with a decorative chrome gas cap, our motorcycle tank urn easily loads from the bottom with a removable plate. Great for families that plan to customize with a personalized memorial tribute.

Crash and Burn

Motorcycles are a passion in the garden. And we’ve been thinking about the riders in our lives that have went down this past year.

Evel. Candace has a great perspective on this.

Sweet James who recently died from injuries sustained in a crash.

Dan Feather who died on his dream bike two weeks after he got it.

Keane Moss,17 and James De Anda, 19 on their dirt bikes. The helmet pictured below was used at the memorial.

Kevin Umlauf, trials and enduro rider. I remember when we were kids, Kevin was doing a wheelie on asphalt, lost control and completely scrapped the hide off his back and legs.

And then a guy I met a couple of weeks ago, Ronnie, who was hit on his bike in Branson on his way home from work on a Monday night during the first week in November. Driver was on her cell phone. Ronnie was invisible. He lost his leg, but not his life.

He looks pretty good, but is pretty pissed off. He worked a server in a Branson restaurant. His insurance has already dropped him and he’s trying to secure disability. And build his upper body so he can learn to walk.

Have a great week!

Grey Goose

The horn in my car is ultra sensitive. So I drive around randomly honking for no apparent reason. It usually happens when I’m deep in thought, and always surprises me! So it does serve a purpose, as sort of an alarm to wake up and tune in to the traffic. Driving home tonight I startled myself and a couple of pedestrians and decided to christen the Toyota, “Grey Goose”. It feels right.

A trying week and it’s only Tuesday. On a positive note we’re refining our motorcycle urn line. The set-up is a bit tedious with all the options available, but will benefit our clients, we’re getting more requests for the motorcycle tank cremation urns.

If you are looking for something special for the free spirit, take a look. Our motorcycle tank cremation urns are some of the best on the market for the money. Midwesterners tell me the motorcycle urn selections are hard to find in the some of the local markets. Here in SW Missouri I know of one funeral home that carries a very attractive tank urn, one style only and starts in the $700 range. The cool thing about the Urngarden motorcycle urns is that if you’ve got a custom paint connection, you can even buy the blank tanks and design your own personalized motorcycle memorial.

So I leave you with my mantra this week:

Wait in power of

knowing what is possible

Do not waiver

Remain Steady

Remain true to your

Goals and allow life

to carry you.

That which is

worthwhile is sometimes

created slowly.
