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.
