Power of Personalization: Custom Fender Cutaway

Inspiration Found: "Sing Me Back Home"
It's important to us to keep mindful of the gravity of bereavement art...to find empathy for each family we are serving. In order to feel more connected, we like to search for obituaries of those who are remembered with our art. We want to know the stories of their lives, for which, we sometimes cry and are often humbled.
With this guitar YURN, the family wanted the quote "Sing Me Back Home" engraved on his memorial. We found this gentleman's obituary which mentioned his YouTube channel. We enjoyed listening to his music as we worked on his memorial. It was a great find to hear his cover of Merle Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home"....what special memories and music that he left for his family.

Quite Magnificent...Handwritten Notes to Personalize
On a recent order for a "Guitar Picker" YURN, we were asked to include very special and sentimental engravings. The customer had sent to us handwritten notes from her husband who recently passed. She asked for us to take an element from 3 separate notes and combine them into one inscription that reads, "Love My Bunnie", signed "Johnny", with a little drawing of a baseball cap that he was known to always wear.
We love adding these unique and sentimental elements, that mean so much to those grieving such great losses. For years to come, she will be able to look at his memorial and see the small reminder of the sweet love they shared together.
She shared with us stories and pictures of her late husband, and our experience with working with her on this piece was truly an honor. We feel grateful to have these connections with those who purchase our art and think it is amazing to be a part of his tribute.
"The guitar is quite magnificent! I think it will be the absolute best way to honor him and display his ashes...I was overwhelmed with a multitude of emotions...
It is a very strange feeling to be so happy with something that has been created for something so deeply heartbreaking. Although I absolutely & totally think that the guitar is stupendous, it feels wrong to like it because if John were alive, I wouldn't need it and I'd rather not need it. If that makes any sense at all.Regardless of what I am feeling, your creation is a masterpiece. I am very happy with the quality of your craftsmanship and also with your kind hearts and loving souls." -Sandie H.

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.

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.

Great Loss Leads to a Greater Purpose
A post to our Facebook friends:
Friends,
As many of you know, Rob’s mother passed away in March. The circumstances and financial situation did not allow for a traditional funeral service. We had a small gathering of family and his mother’s body was cremated. It was decided by the family that they wanted her cremains to be brought here to our property- along with her brother’s ashes (Uncle Jimmy passed away 5 years ago). About 10 days after her passing, a small white box containing her cremains was delivered by hand from our mailman...and today, we have two small white boxes sitting on top our refrigerator. Although the family had discussed us planting the ashes with new trees, we haven’t yet set the proper space or have had the readiness to do that.
Also as you may know, in a turn of events with our sawyer friend- we have been assisting in the development of his casket company. That exposure has us learning a lot about the death care industry. The funeral business is changing and they are taking note of the rising increase in the people doing cremation by choice or out of financial necessity. In some areas of the country, cremation rates are 70+% and people are opting for life celebration ceremonies over traditional funerals and their associated costs.
As a result, Rob has had many conversations with people interested in urns. In doing some research about urns, we discovered that there are many choices for funerary vessels, but not many that reach “outside of the box” per se…. spanning the financial spectrum, there are many beautiful clay, glass, metal or wooden urns and boxes out there- but that’s just it, the choice is a basically a vase or a box. It is difficult to find a very personalized urn…a figurative vessel that visually represents a person’s essence…something uniquely precious for their loved ones. This point brings to mind prior sculpture work we created as a special memorial.
In 2006, our buddy Ron passed away. At the time, we spoke with his wife Kathy about doing a sculptural urn for her. Ron had a big personality and he loved to fish… it was decided that she wanted a bigmouth bass fish for his cremains. Eight years later, that urn still sits mounted like a trophy on the wall of their home. Placed under a covered porch, it overlooks the beautiful country property they love so much. We know Ron would think it is a hoot that his remains ended up in that clay fish…he was just that kind of guy. Kathy recently shared with us how the fish urn still gives her comfort, being able to look up and know he is there with her.
So, where is all of this going- now that we have gone full circle? You guessed it…we want to do sculptural urns. Applied art with special function and sentiment, something that loved ones can always keep- to display in remembrance….a unique memorial that can have infinite possibilities to reflect the personality, hobbies or interests of the individual.
We now have better ideas for memorializing the cremains of Rob's mother and uncle, and will we'll be making special urn sculptures to represent them. Our intention is set with this idea… we get teary-eyed at the thought of such a beautiful purpose- we can't imagine a greater honor for our art, than to be of service to families in this way.
Do you have one of those small white boxes that you have been waiting to do something with? Do you have a friend that might be comforted by this service we can provide? Please contact us if you would like to share your thoughts or to create a special memorial for a loved one.
Abundant blessings,
Rob & Jamaica
