Covid Drives Creative Cremation Memorials

Planning funerals and memorials has been difficult during the year of COVID-19. Restrictions placed on gatherings has limited traditional ways to grieve, while technology has opened new pathways. Take a look at some of the ways memorials have changed in the past year — and some creative solutions.

Funeral Changes During Covid

You want to memorialize your loved ones and gather to celebrate their lives — but that’s hard when your state makes it impossible to gather in large groups. As a result, many funeral directors have had to pivot and learn how to live stream funerals. You can expect to attend more live-streamed memorial services in the future, as many people appreciate the ability to pay their respects without having to incur travel time and costs.

Another big change? Cremations have more than increased dramatically during the past year. This occurred for many reasons. Funeral homes often didn’t have the capacity to store remains until families could gather for funerals, and some people feared that they would be exposed to COVID-19 through their deceased loved ones or those in attendance. In addition, as people counted their pennies through the pandemic, they began to realize the considerable cost advantages of commemorating a loved one’s life through cremation rather than burial. So many have simply put the memorial gathering on hold until it is ok to travel and gather. The lack of ritual has caused survivors to yearn for a connection and reach for physical ways to memorialize the lost loved one. Cremation memorials are a solution to this gap in tradition.

Cremation Solutions Bring Creativity to Your Memorials

Cremation allows so many creative ways to memorialize a loved one. That’s where we come in. At Cremation Solutions, we create innovative art and jewelry that provides you with a unique way to remember and treasure your loved one. Our personalized cremation urns are designed to preserve special memories. Take a look at some of the on trendy ways to commemorate your loved one.

Glass Keepsakes And Jewelry

Cremation Glass Glass has a sense of the eternal to it because of the way we see through it or see ourselves reflected in it. And glass shares something with cremation — both involve extremely high temperatures. Our artisans take this opportunity to turn grief into something truly beautiful.

Glass Sculpture with Cremation Ashes Because molten glass requires temperatures over 2000°F, far hotter than most cremations, our artists are able to incorporate cremation ashes into the molten glass as an artwork is in progress. The carbon from the ashes burns off at this ultra high temperature, leaving behind brilliant white ashes incorporated right into the glass keepsakes and jewelry with infused ashes. Crystalized glass can even be cut into brilliant gem style of high end jewelry!

Choose tributes in an array of natural colors emerald green to blue like “His Eyes”. We offer a wide variety of glass sculptures and keepsakes to memorialize your loved one in a unique, one-of-a-kind way.

Fingerprint Jewelry

Thumbies Keepsakes What’s more unique than your fingerprint? Drawing on this, we create absolutely one-of-a-kind necklaces, charms, and pendants that feature your loved one’s fingerprint, so you can hold their identity close to your heart. Of course we keep all fingerprints completely secure.

These unusual keepsakes are also ideal to capture special moments such as the birth of a baby, a wedding, or a special bond between two people. We can incorporate birthstones into the finger jewelry and offer a range of designs to help you begin your own family tradition. And yes, we can make this unique jewelry using the paw print or even the nose print of your cherished pet.

Pandora-style Cremation Jewelry

Beads made with ashes If you already love your Pandora bracelet or necklace with its delightful charms that show off who you are and what you love, now you can add your loved ones to the mix. At Cremation Solutions, we make Pandora-style beads that you can add to your existing jewelry to include your loved ones as part of the story of your life.

Choose from a gold or sterling silver beat that holds a small amount of your loved one’s ashes, discreetly sealed with a tungsten/stainless steel countersunk screw. Or add some colorful beauty with a custom-made glass bead that holds a tiny amount of your loved one’s ashes, seamlessly infused into the glass during its creation. Either way, you can carry your loved one with you everywhere you go.

Cremation Monuments

Monuments For Cremation — Examples of cremation monuments for the yard or garden. These rock solid memorials will keep your loved one’s ashes safe and secure from the elements.

If you want to honor your loved one in a more traditional way, perhaps as part of a family memorial at your local cemetery, you may want to consider our cremation headstones, niches, columbaria, and other memorials. These customized monuments hold your loved one’s cremated ashes or urns inside with a sense of dignity and permanence. Choose handsome monuments with plenty of space for you to write a special commemorative message, or opt for hollowed out boulders that return your loved one to nature in a beautiful, organic way.

The Loved One Launcher Ash-Scattering Cannon

If the loved one you’re celebrating went through life making a strong impression, say farewell with the same kind of zest they showed throughout their life. The Loved One Launcher is a powerful and joyous way to express the impact someone had on your life, and it’s ideal for life celebration parties surrounding someone who evoked love and laughter in your circle of friends.

With the Loved One Launcher, instead of passively scattering ashes on the ground, you can shoot them 70′ into the air — accompanied by confetti and streamers, if you like. This robust ash-scattering cannon creates a beautiful spectacle that can only make you smile even as you mourn your loss.

Scattering Urns

Turn your ash-scattering ceremony into something very special with an urn that fits the personality of your loved one and that you can leave behind. If you’re scattering ashes at sea or in a body of water, we have special urns that float beautifully and then biodegrade with no harm to the environment.

Biodegradable Urns For Water — Some Urns Are Biodegradable and Float Before They Descend and Dissolve Releasing The Ashes

Scattering At Sea — Biodegradable Turtle Urn

If you choose to scatter ashes on the land, choose from urns made of salt, sand, gelatin, and other biodegradable urn materials, including urns that you can bury. We also have beautiful urns available to hold ashes on display and following the scattering the urn converts into a memorial birdhouse!

Announcing a New Line of Custom Jewelry: Fingerprint Jewelry

We use our hands to connect to one another. Parents and children hold hands for safety and to express their unbreakable bond. Couples brush their fingertips over each other’s cheeks to show intimacy and love. Every person’s touch is as unique as the fingerprints they were born with. Indeed, fingerprints represent how we are all unique, and no two beings have exactly the same ones. So, the perfect way to celebrate that uniqueness is to carry it with you forever.

Now, there is a way to do that. Simply send us your fingerprints or the fingerprints of a loved one. Select the jewelry that you wish to use to immortalize this most personal emblem, then enjoy your beautiful, one-of-a-kind accessory, or give the gift of a lifetime to someone who cherishes you.

How to Order

We are proud to announce the launch of our new fingerprint jewelry line. You can select your jewelry and place your order at our website. Our customers are already enjoying these exceptional treasures. Ordering is an easy 5-step process.

Send us your two-dimensional fingerprint and we create a three-dimensional cast.
Select the vehicle for your rare gift. Rings, pins, pendants, pocket knives and cuff links can be worn on a daily basis as an enduring symbol of your connection.
Although we are best known for our quality fingerprint keepsakes, there are several other ways to celebrate someone’s individual essence. For pets, capture their adorable paw prints, for young children, select hand prints or footprints, which are particularly endearing for newborns. Or, go with the singular symbol of individuality, a finger- or thumbprint.
A bail is what attaches your charm to the keepsake you have chosen. Some styles allow you to include a birthstone or other jewel that is appropriate for you or your loved one.
This is already the most personal gift you will ever give yourself or someone else. However, you can further customize your keepsake with an engraved message. Choose a name, a favorite quote or saying, or maybe just a significant date. You will know what to write when you think of your loved one and listen to your heart.

When to Give Your Gift

Any holiday is a great time to present these rare gifts. Are you remembering a mutually significant friend or family member? Present the keepsake on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or Easter, which are days set apart to celebrate those who sacrificed everything for people they loved.

Are you celebrating a life-changing event like a new addition to the family or an adorable pet who has entered your household? Choose birthdays, Christmas or special anniversaries to give your gift to those who love you. These are times when we usually gather to celebrate the passage of time, the deepening of familial or friendship bonds, and the gift of life itself. Celebrate together by exchanging pendants or rings with one another’s fingerprints.

Celebration

Rings With Fingerprints — Wrap Them Around Your Finger!

Newlyweds are famous for celebrating every milestone. At least some of us are guilty of 1-month anniversaries (perhaps every month!), first date night out as Mr. and Mrs. First time we learn we are expecting a new addition to the family. If your daughter or son is in this wonderful sentimental stage, take the opportunity to present the happy couple with matching fingerprint ring. Choose the multiple print style and they will be able to add to them as new members of the growing family are born. Give a unique gift that will be valued and welcomed.

Remembrance

Don’t wait until the end of life to create a remembrance that will live on and on and be passed down through generations. Like leaves on the branches of a family tree, charm bracelets with each family member’s fingerprint tell the story of your family. Use your keepsake to tell the chapter of a favorite loved one. You will be able to point out to listeners that you carry that person with you in the form of their fingerprint, that you are never alone. Soon, this will build into a family tradition and when you get together to reminisce, no one’s memories will fade away.

Congratulatory

How do you mark the milestones in your life? What were you given for your high school graduation, or when received a college degree or certification? These are the gifts that we treasure our whole lives. A new car eventually is replaced. Money is ephemeral. Besides these practical and generous gifts, give your new graduate something to remember you by as a congratulatory gift. Choose from white or yellow gold, sterling silver or noble bronze and have it embossed with your unique fingerprint. There is no better way to show your pride and stamp of approval. You are giving them a gift more personal than a signature, and your thoughtfulness will be remembered and appreciated.

Separation

We love our children so much that sometimes it physically hurts. We protect and cherish them until they find their independence. Perhaps they are going off to college or moving out to start a new life with someone they love. Your influence on a child never disappears, but once they are on their own your role changes. Now, you must teach them how to be independent so that they can prosper. Let them know you support them every step of the way by presenting them with a heart or oval-shaped keepsake with the fingerprints of beloved family members. You will remain figuratively or literally close to their heart, which eases the uncertainty of transition for everyone.

Our tasteful jewelry can be worn with casual or formal clothing, with dress or cut-off jeans. So, you never have to take it off or risk losing it. It is as durable as it it enduring. So, you can be confident that it will always be in fashion and as well as being a meaningful connection to those you love.

Now is the Time

Silver Finger Print Jewelry You really don’t need a special occasion to give someone a gift that represents you, or to ask for someone’s fingerprints to make a keepsake of your close bond. When someone loves you, they get it and will gladly work with you to create an elegant symbol of love, remembrance or celebration. This is especially true as we mature and gain perspective on what it means to stop and appreciate those around us. Whether you are looking to do something for yourself or fulfilling a desire to leave part of yourself behind in the long continuum of life, you should contact us for more information on how to get started.

The entire holiday is about finding fun ways to show the important people in our lives how much they mean to us. How they changed our lives. The relationship you have with your significant other is the most personal and intimate we experience in life. Sometimes, it feels like you are so close you could share the same heartbeat. If they aren’t there, you might wake up with an aching chest because a piece of you is missing. Well, there is a way to be close to each other even when it isn’t possible to be together. It is also a fantastic Valentine’s Day present.

Fingerprint jewelry pendants and rings are made out of the actual fingerprints of anyone! Its so easy send in your fingerprints and get back jewelry that loved ones will adore. It is really easy to order these high-quality unique one of a kind keepsakes and charms. My husband was reluctant to do it at first, I could see it in his eyes, but I explained to him how much I missed him when he was away on business. This would give me a way to feel close to him, something that nobody else had and that was unique to him. Then, he was really into it. So, Valentine’s Day wasn’t a surprise, but we waited for our gifts to each other, to nature’s signature that would be another sign of our commitment, just like our wedding rings.

I choice a heart pendant that had his fingerprint on the front. He got a silver, rectangular pendent that was subtle. The fingerprints always look very mysterious to me. We get asked about them all the time. People always have great things to say, and it is a conversation starter. It gives me a chance to talk about our marriages and actually helps make it stronger, I think. Like my wedding ring, my heart pendant with his fingerprints represents how much we mean to each other and keeps us connected.

Handprint on Jewelry — Some of The Noble Bronze Collection

A paw print is a unique representation of your cat or dog. If you have an aging pet, consider taking their paw print and getting it inscribed on a lovely piece of jewelry or commemorative item. That way, should they happen to pass on to a happier place, you will have something besides pictures to remember them by. Paw print jewelry also makes a fun, cool Valentine’s Day gift for children or older family members who are very attached to their four-legged best friends.

My friend saw a heart pendant my husband bought me for Valentine’s Day. It had his fingerprint on it. She thought it was so cool and different and wanted to get something similar for herself and her husband. I told her Cremation Solutions was a great company with excellent service. I have ordered from them several times and each piece is better than the last. Months later, she showed me pictures of her husband, tears gleaming in his eyes, as he pulled out a gorgeous pendant embossed with his wife’s fingerprint in raised, gold accents. It was a touching photos and a memory the two of them will share forever.

Custom Jewelry Fingerprints Valentine’s Day isn’t just about lovers. Fingerprint jewelry pendants rings are welcome gifts for anyone you are close to. I have already decided that my own children will have commemorative jewelry with my natural signature. I don’t want them to feel that I didn’t think through what I wanted to leave to each of them, something far more personal than giving away my possessions. My daughter assured me it a fabulous idea and very thoughtful. She even said that a fingerprint pendant would help her feel closer to me before then. She could wear it over her heart and remember how much her mother loved her.

Sometimes, you just run out of great ideas for gifts. Everything seems too impersonal or too commercial. Well, you don’t have to worry about anyone duplicating your gift if you are giving a piece of yourself to someone you love on Valentine’s Day. Fingerprint jewelry is just about as loving, thoughtful and creative as you can get.

Fingerprint jewelry pendants rings are a fabulous idea for any occasion. You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to gift someone else with a piece of you that represents your very essence. The jewelers even makes birthstone name bracelets that can include fingerprints and make fabulous gifts to children. They are a wonderful way to share kids’ birth story with them in a unique and cool way. Start a family tradition that they will pass on to their own children someday. Make someone you love happy. After all, isn’t that what Valentine’s Day is all about?

Making The Holidays More Personal With Fingerprint Jewelry

Christmas is a time when the whole family gathers together to celebrate those we love. New babies are passed around and cooed and fretted over. Couples chopped, baste and cook a scrumptious holiday meal to be shared by all, and memories are shared. For our older parents and grandparents, everyone takes special care to make sure they are comfortable. The question is, how will you remember one another as life matures you or takes you far away?

Fingerprint jewelry is a unique way to keep your loved ones close. Pendants featuring your mother’s fingerprints will be a conversation piece throughout the holiday season and beyond. She will be grateful that you want to remember her and touched if you getting matching necklaces for other close family members. Pendants come in silver, gold and other materials.

For grandmothers and great grandmothers, customized charms or pendant can incorporate footprints for the tiny members of the family, handprints from younger children and fingerprints or other unique markings from grown family members.

Jewelry Made From Fingerprints — “Mom Dad The Kids”

These one of a kind gifts are high-quality jewelry that will quickly become family heirlooms. Let me share a story with you about home I was able to give gifts one Christmas and provide my sisters and brothers with fingerprint jewelry pendants rings imprinted with my mother finger print.

We were all planning to be home for the holidays, which is some feat, considering I have five siblings. My mom had had a health scare just before the holidays. She started talking about final arrangements and making her peace with the universe. After we got over the initial shock, I realized that it could really happen, and so suddenly that we might not get to prepare before she was gone. Luckily, my mother is still vibrantly alive, but I was able to order and design remembrances etched with Mom’s fingerprints and hand them out to my sisters and brothers.

One of my brothers is a real manly guy. For him, I got a stainless steel buck knife with Mom’s fingerprint embossed in gold. It was lovely. In fact, my brother cried, and from what I hear, he refuses to use that knife. Another brother is an investment banker and I had a money clip made and stamped with Mom’s fingerprint. Now, he uses that thing every day – he really like money and he really love Mom! He is often asked where he got it, and he refers them to Cremation Solutions so that others too can order keepsakes that keep the connection when they have to be apart.

For my three sisters, I decided to go with a Noble Bronze Open Heart Fingerprint pendent. It isn’t really a great idea to get jewelry for three sister for Christmas, unless you get everyone the same thing. When my Mom saw us wearing her fingerprints, she was a little hesitant and couldn’t quite figure out why that was important to us, but we could tell that she was really touched and happy that we were all showing her our support.

The thing that is so great about fingerprint jewelry pendants rings is that they never change. As we get older, Christmas over Christmas, our real hand and fingerprints lose detail and lines crisscross them like battle scars from daily living. Your Touch jewelry is such a blessing. It gives me peace of mind that my own children will have a person, one-of-a-kind remember of me, whether it’s a ring, pendent or more masculine gift. It gives me peace of mind. I can’t really think of a better gifts than that.

Jewelry Made From Prints — Dog tag Style

My cousin went into the Marines last year and he was deploying right after the holidays. So, I we went in together to my aunt a signet ring with his baby footprints etched on it so that she would always have him close to her heart. My aunt reacted a lot more than we even suspected. She rubbed her fingertips over the finely etched, tiny feet and smiled from ear to ear. That was a really great Christmas overall. My youngest niece came up and asked if I could get a ring for Santa Clause with all the reindeer hoof prints engraved. I told her I would look into it, even though I wasn’t sure they would all fit!

Fingerprint Jewelry Meets Cremation Jewelry The “Phoenix Collection”

A cherished piece of jewelry is seldom beloved simply for its bling factor. When you talk to people about their favorite jewels and ask them why they are treasured, they’ll invariably tell you that someone special gave the jewel to them, that they obtained the jewel at a special place, or that the jewel reflects an important event or period in their lives. The idea of a treasured heirloom piece of jewelry is at the heart of our Phoenix Collection of fingerprint jewels. While beautiful in and of themselves, these jewels are crafted with the sole purpose of keeping a beloved someone’s essence close.

When you wear a memory jewel from our Phoenix Collection, you’ll feel close to your treasured someone.

STUPID SILLY NAMES WE CALL OUR PETS CONTEST

CONTEST OVERVIEW

Snoopy AKA "The Bat" — Snoopy AKA “The Bat”

Although your pet’s name might be something normal or even boring, like Rover, Patches or Princess, you don’t actually call your pet by that name, do you? Admit it. When you are alone with your pet, you sometimes call him other names that border on humiliating–comically humiliating, that is. As a devoted pet parent, you dearly love your furry friend and would never, ever deliberately mean the names you call him. Cremation Solutions has decided to make a contest out of the colorfully degrading names we know you call your pets when you actually really feel true, undying love for them. There are four (4) categories to choose from: most deserving name, most humiliating name, name that best describes a certain physical appearance, and name you can’t say on television (but can say on the internet). We will be offering some really awesome prizes related to the pet products that we sell to give you the perfect initiative for entering our contest. Here’s a few things to consider… “Trendy” Names Won’t Win Any Prizes! Remember, this is an “inappropriate” nicknames contest, not a “cutest” name or “hippest” name contest. For example, if you have a female pet that you call Stella, Ellie, Lola or Mia–well, you are welcome to enter but these sort of “appropriate” names won’t win a prize in this contest. Likewise with male pet names such as “Bentley”, “Tank”, “Cooper” or “Leo”. Yes, they’re dignified but certainly not inappropriate.

Mr Scrotum Need Som Catnipe — Mr Scrotum Needs Some Catnip…..NOW!

Dog and Cat Name Science According to theories of pet names, nicknames that make fun of a pet’s intelligence, bad habits or physical attributes make it easier to get a pet’s attention.

They Call Me "Stoner" I Don't Understand, Do I Look Like a Rock? — They Call Me “Stoner” Do You Think I Look Like a Rock?

Hard-sounding consonants like Ds, Ks, Ps and Fs produce broadband sounds that are energetic enough to cross sound frequencies capable of attracting an animal’s attention by activating numerous audio receptors in his brain. When you call a dog a name containing “soft” consonants (Hs, Bs or Ls, for example), he’ll just giggle, shrug his shoulders and amble away. Pet names like “Snaggletooth”, “Stinkerfart” or “Diddlysquat Kornhead” are great names to use when attempting to teach your dog some manners.

In fact, research shows that giving your pet a treat immediately after saying “Diddlysquat Kornhead” quickly teaches him to understand to pay attention when somebody says that particular name. Also, if you are worried that your pet will take offense to a degrading name like Pinhead or Shitface, don’t be. You are engaging in something all adoring pet owners have done without thinking about it. Anthropomorphizing is a long, scientific-sounding word, but its meaning is simple–you’re giving your pet human characteristics that really don’t apply to him. As much as we like thinking that our pets are more human than some people we know, they really don’t fully understand our language or experience human emotions as we experience them. However, pets do respond to the tone of our voices (soft, harsh, quiet, loud) but not to the meanings of the words we use. So if you lay awake at night feeling guilty for affectionately calling your cat “Butthead” or “Fatass”, roll over and go to sleep. You love him, he loves you and that’s all that matters!

Dog and Cat Names That Might Win Our Contest

To be more specific about what we are looking for in degrading names, here is a list of names that could possibly win our contest:

Gassy Geezer (old dogs and farts go together like pie and ice cream)
Loudmouth Lardass (fat cats that meow constantly because they endeavor to be annoying)
Asskissing Anklebiter (you know, those yappy, small dogs that bite your ankles then run to the nearest old lady for protection?)
Idiot Box (for all dogs that lack a few IQ points)
Psycho Killer (cats that pretend to like you one minute but want to claw your eyes out the next)
Rap Sheet Rocko (applicable to dogs and cats that commit crimes on a daily basis, such as flipping over food bowls deliberately)
Upchuck Chuck (mainly for cats–cat owners will understand this one)

Introducing Your Touch Portraits

Fingerprint Art — Fingerprints Captured In Beautiful Portraits

Have you ever wanted something so unique to give as a gift that it won’t be found anywhere else in the world? Most people know that their fingerprints are one of the few things in the world that is unique and impossible to find again elsewhere. Now imagine artwork with unique fingerprint patterns that can’t be reproduced anywhere else. For those who like to feel a connection to their art as well as knowing the pattern or detail can’t be found elsewhere, fingerprint art can be a viable answer.

Variety of Styles

Fingerprint art can be produced in a variety of ways. This can include enhanced and zoomed photographs or prints, art prints, portraits of full handprints, wall posters of an exploded single print and more.

See Our Full Selection Here: (Your Touch Portraits).

The imagination is the limit, but each product shares a distinct and unique element: a fingerprint of a loved one that can’t be reproduced anywhere else without the original. Furthermore, a customer isn’t limited to just one print. Multiple family members and friends can be included in the final portrait. This can be a neat way to get everyone involved and produce a piece artwork that includes an entire family.

How it Works

Fingerprint art products can’t be created without the original element, the print. So the process starts with a fingerprint collection kit being provided to the customer to collect a given print. The kit will come with instructions on exactly how to obtain the best print possible, a card for the print to be inked onto and the ink strips that create the color needed.

After the print is collected, the kit is then mailed back to our collection office to begin the production process. The next step involves a fabrication of a high resolution image of the submitted prints. We can alter the print anyway you want. You are in control of how your art will look. You will be emailed a copy of the artwork for your approval, before we do the final print on canvas. Then, with the image completed, the artwork can be produced as desired. Unlike the boring black prints normally seen at government identification stations, fingerprint art can be made with a variety of shades, colors, materials and surfaces. The framing can be matched to meet all sorts of tastes from conservative traditional to modern and impressionable.

Gifts with a Unique Twist

For parents who want to make something memorable for their kids to enjoy later in life, fingerprints, handprints and footprints can reproduce really neat ideas for gifts. How about memorializing the time when junior got into the finger paints a bit too much and left them on the walls of the house? So take a photo of the wall and have enhanced fingerprints layered on top with a frame titled “remember when?” This is just one idea of how to make fun or comical memories lasting, and fingerprint portraits can certainly help.

A basic print may seem pretty straightforward, but imagine a wall sized canvas, framed, with a single fingerprint across the entire surface. Now it becomes a work of modern art, with a unique pattern that catches the eye. Set in the right décor the print can become a focal point of an entire room, as well as nice conversation piece when friends come over to visit.

If a close relative or friend has passed away, prior to final service and all involved allowing, a print can be obtained and then translated into a lasting memory that everyone who loved the person will cherish. The prints or artwork can then be produced in a variety of ways that match how each relative or friend wants to remember the deceased in the best light.

In Summary

Fingerprint art takes what defines a person’s identity in the modern age and also makes them a part of a singular artwork that won’t be found anywhere else. It provides families with a great way to remember years and life events gone by without being mediocre about it. With the variety of art products possible, everyone will find an approach that appeals to their taste. Further, many will be surprised at how impressive the products can be once they are placed in a home or office or special room. Don’t be surprised if people visiting ask where to find a similar print or have one made. The artwork will generate lots of questions as it continues to catch the eye of all who see a fingerprint in a unique setting of love and memory. And that’s what makes art mean the most to those who cherish it.

Nancy Burban Interviews Jeff Staab on the Greening of Cremation

Nancy Burban: It is my pleasure to interview Jeff Staab, a funeral director for over 20 years and a renowned cremation solutions specialist. He is also the owner of www.lifetreefarm.com , a provider of green cremation products and services to funeral homes. For the past 20 years, Jeff has been the leading authority on scattering ashes.

Jeff Staab: Thank you, Nancy for chatting with me about green cremation products and scattering of ashes.

Nancy: We’ve been friends for many years and since we are both very invested in “green burials” and now “green cremation”, it made sense to ask you what you see on the horizon for both cremation and the greening of cremation.

Jeff: Let’s start with cremation. Cremation is the fastest growing disposition in the death care industry, not only in the USA, but worldwide. Over 43% of the population in the USA is now being cremated and over 50% in Canada. In some states like California, the numbers are approaching 70%.

Nancy: Why are some states like California so high?

Jeff: Two big reasons come to mind. First the high cost of burial plots in California. You can spend anywhere from $7,000 -$15,000 in some areas. That’s before the cost of a funeral. Second, many people are living longer and selling their burial plots to be able to afford food and shelter.

Nancy: A third reason is also because many people are eco-friendly. That is also a big factor in the new natural cremation aka alkaline hydrolysis growing in demand.

Jeff: Yes, absolutely. I cremation takes the focus off the body and let’s people focus more on the life. It also gives the family more time to create a more personalized event that reflects more on the unique qualities of the life lived.

Nancy: Jeff, you are undoubtedly the go to person for both cremation and memorialization. Can you share what new trends that you are seeing nationwide?

Jeff: With the combination of Baby Boomers seeking personalization and the eco-friendly green movement, we are seeing more and more survivors turning to nature to connect with life and each other. In fact in a poll was conducted by The Wirthlin Report and when people were asked to choose a memorial, the #1 choice was a living memorial such as a tree. Trees not only mark a life well lived, they also create a space of comfort and healing. Recent studies have shown that patients in hospital rooms with a view of trees heal faster and school children learn better when exposed to green spaces. Trees help us to experience our natural heritage and connect with our deeply held spiritual and cultural values.

Nancy: That’s very interesting. Are these trees given at visitation or a celebration?

Jeff: Funeral Directors can offer living trees to client families for their families and to share with those in attendance, as a way of remembering and memorializing the decedent’s life. When a living tree is not practical, alternatives are available like seed packets or a tree planting program. It’s a beautiful, eco-friendly, green product with the personalization that families appreciate and treasure.

Nancy: Jeff, you are also a big advocate of scattering. Are there any new trends in this area?

Jeff: Yes, I have been working with a company out of Israel who offer a unique service in which families can send their loved one’s cremains, or part of the cremains to the Holy Land, where Jesus lived and have them professionally scattered in a protected, sacred garden. It’s called Holyland Ash Scattering It’s a very spiritual type of celebration. Families receive a DVD of the ceremony & a numbered certificate of scattering.

Nancy: That seems like a beautiful way to deal with families who are conflicted about cremation. Send your loved ones back to the birth of civilization. Can the loved ones visit the site?

Jeff: Yes, you can visit the site and pilgrimages to the Holy Land are life changing. The families can also watch the DVD on the one year anniversary if they cannot visit the Holy Land.

Nancy: What other trends are you seeing with cremation?

Jeff: Cremation jewelry is increasing. Jewelry that holds the loved one’s ashes or Fingerprint jewelry which is jewelry made from a fingerprint etched in silver and gold are popular. You can even get a cremation diamonds and cremation crystals made from a loved one’s ashes.

There are also some beautiful wooden urns and ceramic urns which are a work of art that are becoming popular. Personalization is the commonality. Baby Boomers want memorialization.

Nancy: So, the prevailing theme is eco- friendly, green and personalization?

Jeff: Especially with cremation. People want ceremonies. They want to leave a part of themselves behind to be remembered.

turned_tall — First a Scattering Urn, Then a Birdhouse!

For example, Birdhouse Memorial Urns are starting to catch on. They’re designed to enhance the memorialization process and stimulate ceremony for families who choose to scatter the ashes of their loved ones. Death care experts have often say that families who choose to scatter, should either mark the location of the ashes with a memorial or when that is not possible have a memorial placed close to home. It is important for the grief process to have a focal point where survivors may come to reflect and hold on to precious memories.

Nancy: Bird Houses? They’re beautiful but how does that work?

Jeff: Well, they are elegant enough to be displayed during any part of the funeral process and functional in the way they are easily able to disburse the earthly remains back into nature.

After the ashes are scattered the urn converts into a fully functional, beautiful birdhouse. They provide a lasting tribute as a true Living Memorial.

Nancy: Great idea, especially for the many “Birders” and nature lovers who are seeking unique ways to scatter their cremains. So, let’s go full circle and discuss scattering. Is it becoming the new trend?

Jeff: Finally! I have been advocating scattering for many years and now scattering is the fastest growing disposition of cremated remains. It is now the #1 choice compared to other options. Those that choose to scatter are having a higher satisfaction rate than those that choose other options. I estimate that over 50% of those being cremated are now scattering. According to the Wirthlin Report up to 59% of interviewed in a recent poll said they prefer scattering. From exotic locales like Bali or Tahiti to the Grand Canyon to the San Francisco Bridge to the Holy Land, everyone has an idea of where their final resting place would be & that’s where they want to be scattered.

Nancy: Thank you Jeff for sharing your insights to cremation, scattering and some of the new trends out there.

Jeff: It’s been my pleasure. If anyone wants to know more about the new trends or about the ones I spoke about, they can find me on Facebook. I would be happy to discuss this exciting topic. Please check out and “Like” my Facebook page Click Here
