When one shops for burial caskets, there is much offered that is beautiful, reverent and personal. The choices available for Granite and Marble Headstones, Tombstones and Cenotaphs are of great beauty and exquisite design. Yet searching for objects of similar beauty, permanence and personal expression, for those choosing cremation, is disappointing.

There are many ways to commemorate the passing of a beloved family member. Each is a personal choice. Too often the choices on how to commemorate a life well lived are left to a numb and grieving family. Some planning and expression of one’s afterlife preferences can make the tasks easier for those we leave behind. Many families make their memorial selections in advance so that decision-making can be done together and some of the stresses can be eliminated during their time of loss.

Most who have lived during the amazing 20th century had a life that involved automobiles. For some the automobile was a central theme of their life’s work or a lifelong passion. I too am one of those people for whom fascination with the Automobile has played a central role in my life. I have been motivated to spend much of my time creating automotive artwork. For some years now I have been creating polished metal sculptural fine art that is used as Trophy Art for those who achieve at the very highest levels of racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Recently I was asked to create artwork that can be the final resting place for a friend’s cremated remains. This endeavor made me realize that others might appreciate my work for the same purpose.

Each Bronze or Stainless Steel Investment Cast piece is fitted with an o-ring sealed portal on the underside secured with tamper resistant Stainless Steel Fasteners. The Portal Plate exterior offers an ideal place to engrave a personal memorial.

It is my humble hope that these art pieces will offer an alternative to the generic Urns and Boxes currently available.
