Eternal Cross Made from Cremains

Cumberland, RI (PRWEB) August 1, 2010

Windsong Memorials recently introduced a unique product using cremation ashes in the shape of a beautiful cross. Named the ?Eternal Cross,? it measures 13 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. Unlike traditional urns and other keepsakes that act as a vessel for storing cremains, the Eternal Cross is the only memorial constructed of cremation ashes.

When asked what prompted Mr. Lynch to create the Eternal Cross, he replied, ?My father passed away a year earlier and my mother opted for cremation due to the high cost of cemetery plot, casket, and other funeral products. For months and months, she sat looking at the plastic box of ashes not knowing what to do with them. She didn?t want to bury or scatter them because she was married to him for over 50 years and took great comfort in having him near. The thought of a commercialized urn sitting on the shelf was a little disconcerting so I offered to help. ?

The Eternal Cross is personalized with an engraving on the back citing the departed?s name, date of birth, death date, and serial number extracted from the cremation tag. Additionally, the cross includes a dated Certificate of Authenticity stating for whom the Eternal Cross was made, to whom it commemorates, and the cremation tag number. The Eternal Cross ships standard with a special device for hanging it on a wall.

As a beautiful piece of artwork memorializing a loved one, the Eternal Cross easily becomes a family heirloom to be passed on from one generation to the next. Not only warranting family pride in established heritage, dated and rare artifacts like this cross increase in personal and monetary value over years and across generations.

?At Windsong Memorials, we understand that most dearly departed are survived by more than one person. Because of this fact, we make it possible to share your Loved One?s Eternal Cross with other surviving family members by making multiple crosses from the same cremains. Each Eternal Cross we make can be shipped anywhere in the world,? said Mr. Lynch.

The Eternal Cross uniquely honors the deceased by artistically preserving the cremains beyond the standard values instilled by using urns. Choosing the Eternal Cross allows families to continue honoring their departed?s final wishes or family traditions of burying or scattering cremains while keeping a portion of their loved one close.

Earl Bright, Founder of Bright?s Funeral Home, Providence, Rhode Island, was the first in the industry to see it. With sincere enthusiasm Mr. Bright remarked, ?Never in over 40 years have I seen such a beautiful piece of artwork made using human cremains.?

Tim Hennessy, co-founder of Silkflowers.com said. ?Today?s quality silk botanicals look more realistic than ever ? thanks to new technology ? so purchasing holiday silk designs can really help your budget, especially on those classic items you display year after year, such as poinsettias, a centerpiece for your dining room table and an amaryllis for your foyer.?

Hennessy said. ?Our poinsettias will look beautiful for years to come and require zero maintenance ? as do all of our products.?
