Amazing job....well worth the money

"Jamaica & Rob did such an amazing job with my dad's urn.  It's absolutely beautiful.  They were also great with communicating and giving updates throughout the process. It well worth the money."

So proud of his "Big Fish"...it gave her great comfort

Review:  "Fantastic job! Created and delivered faster than expected and exactly when needed.  Thank you very, very much!"     

It is amazing!...Guitar Urn for Husband, Father, Son, Brother

Aw, such a sweet note we received... One of the inscriptions on his guitar urn read, "My body's gone that's all."

"I received Eric's urn yesterday. It is amazing! I am so glad I found you on Etsy and that I now have this unique piece of handmade art to keep his ashes. Thanks you for making such beautiful urns and for the care and personal support you give. You are incredibly talented and good hearted people for what you do. Thank you and bless you!"

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.  

Power of Personalization: Burial Caket Urn for Papa Gene

Eugene Walton Forsythe

December 5, 1921 - September 15, 2019

Today we laid our grandfather to rest.  Eugene Walton Forsythe was granted a long life of 97 years. We were fortunate to care for him at home in his last days. He reunited with his love, Doris June, on September 15th...the day they would have celebrated 73 years of marriage.  He was the last born of 13 children...a was proud and brave soldier...a strong, hardworking father...and a loving grandfather. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

We created this custom Casket urn with his beautiful, old-fashioned signature. His wish was to be cremated...my grandmother wished for him to have a casket and be buried.  Today he was interred next to his beloved wife....so, that they both get their wishes.

 

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....

Pre-need and a Work of Art...Cheers to another 40 years!

Upon ordering a Winged-Heart YURN, "Fierce Robin" wrote:

It isn't too often that we get an order for pre-need arrangements... so, it was a different kind of experience to connect with Robin regarding her memorial artwork...rather than a mournful event.

She had come across our YURN listing previously.... So, with an approaching heart surgery and the encouragement of her daughter, she decided to go ahead and purchase the urn she wanted for herself. And, Lord willing, she would would be able to enjoy the piece as a work of art in her home, for many years, until the time comes to utilize it as a functional cremation urn.

We love the thoughtfulness she put into her decision, for her daughter and her outlook regarding our "art".  It's so touching to know that our art brings value and comfort to those grieving, and also to those who can enjoy them as artful home decor, prior to needing them for their intended purpose.

We enjoyed getting to know more about Robin through this experience.  Her career in healthcare and God-centered passion for helping others, her love of traveling, and her overall fun personality and zeal for life.

While working on her piece, we were surprised to wake one morning to read the sweetest five-star review on our Etsy store.....we hadn't even completed or shipped her memorial yet, and still she gave us a glowing review!  How awesome!

We completed Robin's Heart sculpture and she received it prior to her surgery.

We are happy to follow-up on the status of Robin's open-heart surgery...

She pulled through it like a champ!  Now, she'll heal and prepare herself for a vacation to St. Lucia in April.  :)

Live it up! With love! ~

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.
