purple urns for ashes

As February winds down we’re celebrating the month with the Amethyst, the birthstone for the sign of Pisces. This deep purple stone was associated with royalty for thousands of years, dating back to the Egyptian Pharaohs and Cleopatra. Amethyst is thought to have healing powers that keep the wearer peaceful, calm, pain free and can even help to overcome addiction. In addition to jewelry and prayer beads, Ancient Greek wine goblets carved from the purple quartz were believed to protect the drinker from getting inebriated.

With shades ranging from translucent lilac to deep dark purple, amethyst is one of the most beautiful and favored stones in the world. If you are looking for memorial ideas, February birthdays can be honored with a urns in shades of purple. Whimsical mermaid designs refract the light and brighten dark winter days.

Blown glass in a slightly lighter shade is the Moonlight Bohemian.

Dark shades of purple in the metal category is the Purple Fire Collection of adult, medium and heart shape keepsake, all of which can be personalized with laser engraving.

The rich amethyst color shows up again in a multifaceted glass heart pendant that doubles as a tiny urn. A small perfect memorial, cremation jewelry can be used to store a trace amount of ashes or lock of hair.

Urns for ashes are available in many colors that honor a birth month and celebrate life.

We try not to be slaves to our own tastes, but purple is one of our favorite colors. Evidently the families we serve think so too. Purple can be a complete contradiction, elegant and a little crazy. Maybe that’s why so many love this complex color. It’s definitely the reason why we curated a collection of purple urns.

The purple heart is a new design and comes in red and white as well. Metal with rich enamel and studded with sparkling crystal, the hearts are free standing sculpture that also safely store the cremated ashes. Purple Passion is a gradient or ombre effect of lavender fading to a deep plum. Both of these can be engraved.

Regarding funeral service, the color is changing. From darkness to light.

In the urn world, we noticed that the ladies love shades of purple. So we offered a line of purple urns and are one of the few distributors to do so. When we expanded our line of pet urns, we wanted to offer stylish urns in blue and purple, so we manufactured an exclusive line, our True Blue and Violet Inspiration and the families have responded.

Purple was said to be Cleopatra’s favorite color. The ancients created the unique color from the mollusk shell, and the expense was so great that only royals could afford to wear it. You can imagine the process involved, collecting the snails and then extracting the dye. Very tedious.

We’ve covered the power of purple in earlier posts. Purple has a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers are often delicate and considered precious. Because purple is derived from the mixing of a strong warm and strong cool color it has both warm and cool properties. A purple room can boost a child’s imagination or an artist’s creativity.

Warm reds and cool blues combine to make this complex hue. We’ve tried to capture the spirit of purple in our exclusive cremation urn collection that ranges from heavy cut crystal and metals to fine blown glass. Years ago, funeral urns only came in one style. Ugly. Now, there’s so many options. Modern twists on old designs. Lots of color and now, instead of a bronze vase, you can commission a sculpture that contains storage for the ashes.
