Glass artists offer beautiful creations as unique alternative to traditional cremation memorials. By merging personal preferences of the customer with the unlimited variety and flexibility offered in hand blown vessels, the personality of the cremated can be reflected in glass. Memorial Glass Keepsakes is meeting the ever growing needs of the baby boomer generation as they consider not only the practicallity of cremation but its very small environmental impact, furthering this generations desire to leave the earth better than they found it.
Jacksonville, OR (PRWEB) November 13, 2008 -- Baby boomers have defined their generation through the bold and fearless pursuit of Individualism...and they intend to pass into the everlasting in the same fashion. Don't think botox, eye lifts or tummy tucks prior to meeting their maker...think Urns and eggs.
Designed to create an individual statement through color and design, the talented glass artists of Memorial Glass Keepsakes of Southwestern Oregon, are pioneering a line of brilliantly colored and individually decorated Urns and other memorial keepsakes targeted at the growing Cremation industry and its growing popularity for environmentally minded boomers looking to have a smaller carbon footprint, even after leaving this earth.
"We hope that by including some of the character of the person who will reside in our urns to be displayed in the materials, colors and designs, we may offer those left behind a source of comfort that goes beyond the cold brass can most often associated with this category," said Nathan Sheafor, Artist and partner in the Memorial Glass Keepsakes venture. "...when you lose a loved one, you want a memorial that is representative of who they were or the things they loved...this is what we try to offer our customers."
Memorial Glass Keepsakes and its three glass artists Nathan Sheafor, Lee Wassink and Maurice "Butch" Kreuzer, have created urns for both individuals and Funeral Service Providers that have ranged from the conservative to the outrageous. When asked if it was hard to speak with the bereaved about the subject Butch Kreuzer commented, "Designing an urn for a loved one or even for yourself can be a cathartic experience, giving everyone involved a sense of satisfaction and perhaps even closure to some degree."
Memorial Glass Keepsakes is located in the Cascade mountain foothills of Southern Oregon, with glass being made and shipped from the facilities of The Glass Forge in Grants Pass and the business office in historic Jacksonville, Oregon. All facilities are minutes from Interstate 5 and are served by common carrier. You can visit Memorial Glass Keepsakes Website to see examples of the unique memorial art being created by these talented Artists.
