Mother of Pearl Memorial Urn

Pearls and roses are the themes for June. Our Mother of Pearl urns represents the June pearl birthstone and comes in sizes available for adults and pets. Pretty polished surface inset with glowing mother of pearl chips create modern memorials using ancient techniques.

Or if the symbol of the rose is more to your taste, we have several urns in the rose theme the ultimate symbol of love, including a gold Sweetheart Rose urn necklace. If a pendant isn’t your style, but you like the jewelry, have a look at some of the other styles.

Cremation jewelry is not for everyone, but some families like the idea of a tiny memento that they can keep close to their heart. The pendants hold a trace amount of ashes, this one has an air tight opening on the backside of the rose that can be filled. It’s fine jewelry that no one would ever guess contains ashes.

Mighty Isis Egyptian Keepsake Urns

August 20, 2008 urngarden.com

Powerful Isis was the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice, law, and funeral rituals. One of the most popular goddesses in Egypt, she had her own priests and many temples were built in her honor.

We’ve commissioned several styles of Egyptian urns in the image of Isis for families to use as a keepsake urn for small portions of ash, flowers, or jewelry, or for smaller pets. We’ve had several cat owners purchase these for their cats named….Isis. Other popular styles are inspired by ancient relics found in tombs and pyramids of kings. Bastet is another popular style with cat owners and Anubis, protector of the dead is a timeless favorite.

But we’re talking about Isis, and she is usually shown with her arms spread, always ready to receive. Check out that wingspan:

One of our newer urn styles is inspired by one of the oldest images: The mysterious Arc of the Covenant.

She covered a lot of territory. I was first introduced to Isis as a kid through the magic of television.

My favorite was Wonder Woman, who always prayed to The Mighty Isis.

Lynda Carter on Saturday mornings in a fabulous costume? Yes, that was a great way to start the day!

June Bugs and Egyptian Scarab Keepsake Urn

August 19, 2008 urngarden.com

The June Bugs (or Japanese Beetles?) invaded the garden and got busy breeding, munching, and wrecked the garden and trees.

It’s hard to believe that the Egyptians worshiped the dung beetle. While we consider this bug a nuisance, the Egyptians considered them sacred. The scarab symbol is commonly found in hieroglyphics and jewelry designs and it’s really not clear why the scarab was so popular. Artifacts could be found everywhere with this image, amulets, and carved into tombs and pyramids. Historians think that the spiritual significance might have do with some heavenly cycle tied to rebirth or regeneration.

So we have a love hate relationship with the scarab. We love the mystery of Egyptian artifacts so Urn Garden commissioned a keepsake urn with the image of a scarab that appeals to pet owners (cat owners especially) and families that want a mini urn to store a small amount of ashes. Many of these designs are inspired by actual relics and artifacts found in the tombs of kings and pharaohs complete with hieroglyphics and are found in museums around the world.
