Power of Personalization: Tulip Bouquet for Aunt Gennie

Virginia "Gennie" Ruth Stegall

May 1, 1945 – September 14, 2019 

With heavy hearts, we created a tulip bouquet urn for our sweet Aunt Gennie. 

She was an Earth Angel who bravely fought Parkinson's for over 25 years... without complaint, without self pity, without a harsh word spoken. She grew beautiful gardens and amazing children. 

We'll miss her humble nature, her sweet giggle, her kind heart and beautiful soul. Virginia Ruth you truly are one of God's most precious.  

 

Marking A Milestone...200 YURNS to Memorialize

Our 200th YURN! We're humbled and so appreciative to all who chose to remember your loved one with our memorial art, and for you who encouraged us along the way. We thank y'all for your support...it means so much! .....This guitar piece in honor of "Bob Papa Shoey" of Ontario, Canada....

Power of Personalization: Custom Columbarium Niche Box

 

A local woman near us was looking to have a custom box to fit a Columbarium Niche for her family.  Her brother had passed away years ago in 1980, and his ashes were at rest at a cemetery in California.  This past Christmas, their mother passed away. 

The remaining siblings decided to place mom's ashes with their bother.  They needed a special box to fit the 10" x 5" x 11" space, personalized with both their names, dates, and epitaphs.

We hand-built this ceramic box to fit the space....engraving it exactly as they wished with their family name large and set between their two individual names, and a small cross in the middle.

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.  

The Power of Personalization: Custom Orcas for Arval

Recently we delivered these Killer Whales to a former co-worker and dear friend. These hand-built memorials are for her brother...the large one for his wife and family, and a smaller one for his sister. www.awesomeurns.com #neverforget #oneofakind #orca #whale #unique #cremation #urn #ceramic #sculpture #memorial #oceanlife

For 7 years, Rob worked side-by-side with Sandra in the front lab at Dallas Nephrology Associates. Sandra was his direct supervisor, a mentor, a surrogate mom, and a good friend. During those years, she was a daily source of wisdom, encouragement and humor for him.

Recently, Sandra contacted us and asked for us to create an Orca Whale for her brother, Arval.  He always love Killer Whales and their symbology of family, longevity, harmony, community and protection.

We created a large wall-mounted piece for Arval's wife and family....and a smaller whale memorial for Sandra to keep.  We feel honored to make these pieces for him and their family.

Recently we drove up to Dallas to deliver them to her in person. It has been over 10 years since we moved from Dallas and Rob left his job at DNA.  It was so awesome to see Sandra and her family, have some laughs and catch up on life.

She and her family have started a small business selling handmade soaps, lotions, and other scented oil products.  She treated us to samples of their products and Rob became a big fan of the Whisky Woodshop Beard Oil!  Check out, A Handful of Bubbles....www.ahandfulofbubbles.com

Messengers from Our Loved Ones

According to our friends at UrnGarden.com...

• It’s not unusual to look for signs from a loved one after he or she dies. These symbols not only bring a feeling of hope, but a sense of peace and renewal. It’s a popular notion that cardinals are often seen as messengers from our loved ones. Just their presence symbolizes a myriad of ideals, thoughts and feelings.  > read more
