First Cast for a Special Catch
Our newest YURN model is complete! Introducing our new Catfish YURN...We were commissioned to do this special first cast for our friends, the Flickinger Family. In loving memory of Milton Wayne Flickinger of Houston, Texas.
Over the holiday weekend, we joined our friends at their father's lake house and delivered their dad's Catfish YURN.

"Thank you so much. Grandpa would be thoroughly impressed. I know I don't speak for just myself when I say that I couldn't be happier with how beautiful this ended up. You truly have a gift. Thanks again." - Jacob C.

After Such A Loss...YURNS are Easier to Look at.
"I just want to tell you that I lost my youngest son... I have put off buying an urn because I was looking for something special. I knew exactly what I wanted and when I saw this urn I knew it was the reason why I waited. My son was an avid fisherman and this represents him perfectly. Thank you for making unique urns which also make it easier for a parent to look at after such a loss." - Myrna A.

It's Obvious They Love What They Do...Simply Beautiful
We received this lovely review on our first Etsy shop sale. We are so honored to have the opportunity to work with this family and create this personalized guitar YURN. It was very special to us that they shared videos of their son singing and playing his guitar. God rest his beautiful and talented soul.
"When my son passed we were desperate to find an urn that reflected his love of the guitar. We were excited when we found MorzArt on Etsy. The owners of the shop are sincere, caring, and really cool people. It's obvious they love what they do and it is reflected in their work. The urn is PERFECT. Simply beautiful. All of our family and friends were very impressed with this unique way having our son in our home. Rarely, if ever, do you deal with the people behind the product when you make an internet purchase. In this case Rob and Jamaica were readily available and added some personal touches just for our son. I highly recommend them. Their work is heartfelt and truly special." - Jerry L.

She Was Pure Sunshine
Doris June Forsythe
January 4, 1931 - April 2, 2015
Over the last month, we had the profound experience of caring for Jamaica's grandmother, Doris June, as she made her transition from this Earth. Cancer went mis/undiagnosed and by the time she received an official diagnosis, it had spread into her lymphatic system and spine...hospice arrived that same day.
For 22 days we were able to care for her and tell her how much we love her- although short, we appreciate that time and opportunity. She was pure sunshine and joy to all who knew her and she will be deeply missed.
Many thanks to our buddy, Stephen, at Star of Texas Casket Company for collaborating with us on her sentimental and personalized Cedar casket. It was beautiful and we know she would have loved the special touches carved into it for her. Rest in peace, sweet Doie, your legacy of love, faith and laughter lives on in your children, grand and great.

A gracious 'Thank you' to you for following us and offering
comments in support. We launched just over 2 weeks ago and are already
off to a great start! We are refining our marketing/branding
materials as we prepare to list with online urn distributors....their
feedback on YURNS is very positive and encouraging!

Introducing "YURNS by MorzArt"
We are excited to launch our newest art endeavor YURNS by MorzArt. "Memorial Art for Unique Personalities" -- We are now in production of these 6 models, with new ideas on the way!
With the release of our YURNS cremation sculptures, we would like "service-to-others" to be foremost on our minds, intentions and actions.
The holidays often have us reflecting on the memories of loved ones, and the fond times we had with family and friends who have gone before us. We know this time of year can also be financially constraining for many, and that is why we have decided to offer all of our YURNS models on a "Pay What You Can Afford" basis for the holidays.
Order a YURN before or on January 1, 2015 with a donation amount that is within your means, and we will make for you the model of your choice.
We feel it is a great honor to handcraft each YURN we make, and hope that our service to you is the greatest final gift for your loved one.

It's Some Serious Work Indeed
Making model sculptures is fun....making plaster molds is stressful....pouring slip-casts is heavy work...and waiting for clay greenware to dry feels excruciatingly slow.
It is definitely a process figuring out these prototypes, and we are anxious to have successful kiln fires. Now, we look forward to working out our presentation of the finished products!

Conveying the Value of Cremation Urns
In researching the emotional value of urns, the what/why people choose urns verses holding onto that little white box we found this: "Cost may be a factor in choosing an urn. However, too often family members choose not to purchase an urn simply because they don't see anything they like or they don't perceive any of the urns available to them as being reflective of their loved one."
Q: Our
firm has a hard time selling cremation urns. It seems as though many
families are satisfied with the container. Can you share some
information on how to effectively convey the value of a cremation urn?
A: The most recent industry research (a 2006 Disposition, Container and Service Survey conducted by the Cremation Association of North America) indicates that approximately 60 percent of families selected a cremation urn vs. a temporary container. Though more urns are being purchased now than in previous years, there are still families who do not see value in a permanent urn for their loved one.
A permanent urn serves as a protective container and becomes a treasured memorial for a loved one that will last for generations. A plastic or cardboard container is a temporary receptacle that houses the cremated remains until a permanent urn is chosen.
Cost may be a factor in choosing an urn. However, too often family members choose not to purchase an urn simply because they don't see anything they like or they don't perceive any of the urns available to them as being reflective of their loved one.
From high-end artistic pieces to less expensive brass and veneer wood urns, an abundance of products are available today to suit the many needs of families choosing cremation urns for their loved ones.
Firms who have a high ratio of cremation urn sales attribute their success to their up-to-date offerings, an effective display and the ability to guide families through the selection process.

This is an important point to make in why we have decided to pursue our ideas for cremation urns...we hope to change the notion of the typical urn form found in traditional urns, by creating works that are out-of-the-ordinary and
down-to-earth…sculptural urns that are honest in subject, but discreet
in function. It is our vision to create endearing pieces that match the
personality or interests of the individual, while also serving as an
artistic element among home décor. Our goal is to provide to families heirloom-quality works of art that have a distinctive presence that they can feel a connection to,
find comfort in, and have stories for generations to come.A: The most recent industry research (a 2006 Disposition, Container and Service Survey conducted by the Cremation Association of North America) indicates that approximately 60 percent of families selected a cremation urn vs. a temporary container.
