    What a way to Urn a living.

    Hey everybody,

    A couple months back we made a cremation urn for a friend's dog who passed away last summer and presented it to him as a gift. My wife put two poems on the sides and the dogs name on the front with some doggie prints meandering around on it. On the back she put the spiritual meanings of the woods we used and our logo.
    Well, because we showed it to some other friends and our vet before giving it away, we now have several orders for urns for pets and realtives and relatives of friends! Four veterinarians want displays for their offices. Never thought it would turn into a business!

    What a great way to URN a living!

    Dear Kurt,

    Great urn! It looks fantastic! We actually got started in the laser business because of cremation urns! Long story, not for today! Here is a saying we have used on frames for pets: Thought you might be able to use it.

    "Your paws have left prints on our hearts forever"!

    Have a great day,
    Sincerely, Phyllis

    Thank You

    Thank you for the compliments. Yes I make the boxes and my wife finishes them and then engraves them. I'll have more pictures now that we figured out how to post them. I'm currently working with a granit and marble counter top company that is local to make markers for us and we'll do custom work for their customers.

    Congrats on all the new business! Although it's a sad time for the pet owners, you're making them feel better through your craftsmanship. Very, very nice!
