Power of Personalization: Captain Lived Life 'His Way'

For an Alabama Coast Shrimp Boat Capt’n…who lived and loved fully, unabashedly, his own way. These shrimp boat urns were handmade in his honor, for each of his three sisters.

Made for a local friend, Kathy, and her family...she would tell stories of her brother Doug's adventures and trials, big wins and pitfalls. Doug was known for his kind heart and unconventional style. The last boat he owned was fittingly named, "My Way".

May he rest in peace.  

A ray of light in this very dark time...I truly did right by him.

Practicing Prototypes: Angel with Heart

We have been working on prototypes for our new Angel with Heart YURN. The first few casts of a new models is where we work our processes and color finishes. With this model, the angel's dress is the main vessel for cremains placement.

This prototype was made with Jamaica's grandmother, Doris, in mind. We personalized this model by engraving her initial "D", along with "Mom" and her grandma name, "Doie".  It won't be used as an cremation urn, but will hang on the tree that she rests under at the cemetery.

Soon we will be perfecting this model, taking pictures, naming it, writing copy and rolling her out into our production line!

How It's Made: Wire Hanger for Wall Mount

Installing the high-temperature wire hanger used for hanging this YURN on a wall. The wire is fired into the clay body during the kiln firing process. All hangers on our YURNS are weight tested to 25lbs. to insure their safety when mounted as wall art. #cremation #urn #sculpture #remembrance #handmade #memorial #art #funeral #howitsmade #wallart #clay #guitar #grief #safetypatrol #care

All I Could Do Was Stare...Pictures Don't Do Them Justice

"When my Daughter came to me a couple of days after my Soulmate passed away, she said to me, 'Dad I have found the perfect Urn for Mom's ashes'. I looked at the picture of the Sunflower with the Butterfly on it, and I almost cried. I told her, 'that is the perfect place for your Mom's ashes'. After we received the urn and I opened it, all I could do was stare at it. The pictures on your website do it no justice compared to the beauty of it when it was in my hands! Thank You for this work of ART! God Bless You."   - Jim G.

Etsy Review: "Amazing, amazing, amazing! They were so wonderful with us through the whole process, kept us updated with how the YURN was coming along, and shipping was fast and secure! 10/10 A+ would recommend!!" -  Megan G.

YURNS Turns One, First Year in Review

One year ago today, we launched our new line of sculptural works, YURNS by MorzArt!
This endeavor to create unique cremation urns has been a blessing for our art and hearts. We are so grateful our path has led us to this work, and are humbled to create our special memorials for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
We are encouraged by positive feedback and are happy to report that we have sold 26 YURNS, in 9 states and 3 countries. It is an exciting future as we progress forward, and over the course of this next year, we hope to devote more time into growing our business and introducing new models into our production line.
Many thanks to each of you for your support!

Gift for Helping Those Who are Grieving...His Last Guitar

"You folks made a beautiful urn ( the guitar ) for my husband last month. I call it his last guitar. He dearly loved playing and teaching guitar ( taught our son, and the grandkids and a couple friends ). I was going to settle for regular type of urn and then found you guys. I can`t tell you how much my family and love what you have made for us. It makes it hurt just a little bit less to see the guitar, you did a beautiful job. Thank you so much. You have a GOD given gift for helping those who are grieving feel better about where they put the ashes of their loved one. Thank you and GOD BLESS."  -  Kay K.
