Power of Personalization: Mixed Bouquet #2 for Aunt Gennie
Our second custom Bouquet urn, handmade with love in memory of our sweet Aunt Gennie. Our cousin received the first piece, a tulip bouquet. With this piece, we worked with our Uncle to design this mixed bouquet with hummingbird.
We love how the finished piece turned out! We hope that it brings our uncle and family comfort and beautiful memories of our precious Gennie. She would have loved it.

The Power of Personalization: A Pine Cone for Will
Will was described as loving life and everything about it. His wife, Paula, wanted something related to nature to remember him...maybe a Pine Tree or nature scene? We suggested that a Pine Cone urn would be cool and she agreed.
They were married in Lake Tahoe and she saved a pine cone from their time spent there together. Following his passing, Paula returned to Lake Tahoe for some needed time and reflection. She took along Will's cremains and scattered a portion of the ashes there in remembrance of him and their union.
Pine trees hold a special place in our hearts too. We loved creating this piece to honor Will. We hope that it offers Paula, and their family, some comfort and beauty in their time of mourning and in the years ahead.

Power of Personalization: Stock Car for The Margarita Lady
We were honored again to create a custom piece for the Flickinger Family. This piece makes the third urn they've asked us to make. We were touched that they entrusted us to help them memorialize Mom this time.
Wanda loved dirt track, stock car racing. A long time fan, she was known as "The Margarita Lady" to her racing friends, and had expressed that wanting a stock car urn when it came her time. We based the design from pictures sent of a Modified race car of her favorite driver, Wendell Wallace's #88 of Batesville, AR.
We hand delivered this piece to her family, who were happy with how the piece turned out and how perfect it was for Wanda.

The Power of Personalization: Cowboy Joe's Boots
Recently, we were asked by friends of the family to sculpt an urn for their loved one Joe.
Joe loved to ride his motorcycle, and was affectionately known as "Cowboy" to his bike club friends and loved ones. It was decided that the most fitting tribute to remember him would be his cowboy boots.
His wife, Robin, sent us pictures of his most recent pair of boots, of which he wore with a spur on his right boot. We used these pictures as our references to sculpt Joe's Boots.
Additional personal touches included engravings of his name, dates, a handwritten note to Robin.

Artists' Thoughts: Butterfly for Baby Vienna
We're sometimes overcome by significance of this memorial art and what it means for others. We take it so seriously, that it has it's moments of overwhelm with our desire to always do our best and meet any expectations the customer has...
...then we stop and take a deep breath.
We reflect on our purpose and give thanks for opportunities... to be a positive force, bringing comfort to others through our work... it's powerful, it's humbling, it's heartbreaking, it's beautifully human... it's love.
From our first communication with the Theriaque Family, we were so touched by their open hearts and kind words....
We worked with them to create a unique butterfly urn to remember their little girl. They chose design elements that they wanted represented.....the size, positioning, colors and engraving inscription.
The result, a sweet, precious cremation urn for Baby Vienna....
Upon receiving her urn...
...And our hearts are full.
In gratitude ~ MorzArt

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.
