Some projects are just not that fun to build, yet I felt very honored to make this urn. A sudden death on my side of the family last November took us all by surprise, and I’ve been thinking a lot this past month about the good man that has gone from us so soon and left my sister a widow. It’s in times like this that I am thankful I can do things with my hands, because I’m sure no good with words. A more personal blog of the build for those interested can be found here.

I’m ashamed to admit that my Father-in-law is still in the box that came from the funeral home almost 2 years ago. I’m going to follow your lead and make him a fitting urn as I said I would when he passed. My condolences to your family. You’ve made a fine resting place for him.

At first I looked at a simple box, then I read your blog. The second time I looked, I saw much more. Each step of the process of making this Urn had a special meaning. Nice job and thanks for sharing.

It is always a gift from God to know special people. It is ours to say thanks to God and the love one that dies by honoring them with gifts that God gave us by using our hearts, minds and hands. Very nice resting place for him.
Have your say...
