45 RPM Record Stack Urn – Honoring Uncle Al: Music Lover’s Legacy

This past month, we gathered to celebrate the life of our Uncle Al...music lover, storyteller, and all-around original. For his memorial, we created a custom version of our 45s Record Stack YURN, personalized just for him. Jamaica designed a custom label featuring some of his quirky sayings and the title of a funny song he wrote years ago. It felt like the perfect way to honor both his sense of humor and his lifelong love of music.

We set the piece on his memory table at the cemetery committal, surrounded by photos, a few of his favorite things, and plenty of stories being shared. To help remember him with a smile, I also made custom stickers with his best one-liners and handed them out to friends and family.

For his closest loved ones, we went a step further—creating individual ceramic 45s with the custom label on one side and the lyrics to his original song on the back. These keepsakes were a fun way to remember him always.

His record stack urn was entirely hand-built, with each horizontal line carefully carved to give the look of a stacked collection of vinyl. We’ve love the Record Stack pieces we've done previously, but the process is labor-intensive. We’re currently developing a mold for the Record Stack YURN that will allow us to bring this design into our production line. This shift will help reduce costs, speed up production time, and make this meaningful design more accessible to other music-loving families, while still allowing for personal touches like custom labels and Record keepsakes.

It was an honor to create this YURN and keepsake collection for someone who meant so much to our family. We can hear Uncle Al saying, "Far out and beyond!".

Guitar Cremation Urns: Handmade, Artistic Urns for Musicians’ Ashes

Guitar Cremation Urns — One-of-a-Kind Handmade Memorial Sculptures

We’re thrilled to introduce GuitarUrns.com, our new online home dedicated entirely to our handcrafted guitar-inspired cremation urns.

For families who want a memorial as personal as the music their loved one played, each piece is modeled after their actual guitar. Using photos and model details, we sculpt a custom wall-hanging memorial urn that beautifully reflects the instrument they cherished.

Every urn begins with clay in our Texas studio, where we handcraft and finish each piece with care and artistry. These one-of-a-kind urns for ashes honor the soul of a musician in a way that feels natural and uplifting—urns that don’t look like urns, but rather, timeless tributes to a life lived through music.

Each design can be personalized with engraved names, dates, handwritten signatures, song lyrics, or meaningful epitaphs. The result is an artistic urn for ashes that carries deep emotional resonance and visual beauty—an heirloom that tells their story in form and detail.
