  1. Cremation Remains and Artificial Memorial Reefs

    A coral reef is a rocky ridge under the surface of the ocean that is created not through the oceanic uplift or mountain building process - via plate tectonics - but by living coral. The rocky substrate that is a coral reef is made using thin layers of calcium carbonate produced by various corals.

    The creation process is not an overnight event. It can take 30 Million years to create a sizable coral reef. That period is one of the reasons why so many people are concerned about the health of coral systems around the world.

  3. Best Cremation Urns for Couples

    True love can last forever, but everyone's time in this life will come to an end. When it does, many couples want to make sure they memorialize and honor that love. Whether they're looking for ways to pre-plan their own end-of-life celebrations and wishes, or loved ones are looking for ways to acknowledge their love after they're gone, there are many opportunities to showcase love and commitment, even after death.  Here are some of the most important things to think about.

    How to Memorialize a Couple

    Memorializing a couple can sometimes be difficult. Loved ones on both sides of the relationship will have ideas about who the couple was, what they were like, and what mattered most to them.

  4. 8 Ideas to Celebrate Lost Loved Ones on Valentine's Day

    Although Valentine’s Day might seem like a commercialized holiday, its history is far more romantic. The English poet Geoffrey Chaucer was the first to mention it in print, nearly 650 years ago. For hundreds of years, this day has been a day to feast and celebrate romantic love.

    Of course, for people who are missing a special someone, the holiday can be even more difficult. A night spent together eating a box of chocolates and watching a rom-com may feel empty without a loved one there to share in it. But people should know that they are not alone, and they can find ways to bring their loved ones back into the celebrations. These eight ideas may help families to remember those they have lost, as well as bringing love back to the holiday.

  5. How to Build a Log Cabin Urn

    Set me free in the wilderness,

    Where my spirit soars among the clouds,

    Where my heart breaks loose from its chains,

    And Nature is a balm for my soul.

    Turn me loose to wander the mountains and valleys

    With sun-dappled wildflowers and sparkling brooks,

    Where my thoughts resonate in the deep silence,

    Days and nights are measured by the sun and the moon,

    And where I feel eternally at home.

  6. Creating the Perfect Urn with Custom Engraving

    Every urn is special, and not just because of the loved one whose remains are inside it. Each one carries a message of love and long-term grief that families keep sending for as long as their memories last. Putting a message on the urn allows family members to indicate whose remains are kept in the space. In many cases, engraving also makes room for an interesting design or a few loving words about the person. These options make it easier for people to get an urn that feels personalized, as interesting and unique as the person honored by it. At In The Light Urns, we use a variety of methods to achieve the perfect sendoff, including a diamond drag machine, lasers and sand-blasting.


    History of Engraving


    In non-language forms, engraving dates back hundreds of thousands of years. Early humans carved lines and images into shells. Later, they did the same on bones or tusks. Working styles into metal didn’t come until much later. This is because metal
