Wrapping our arms around our Grandmother

The opportunity to create a beautiful tribute to a loved one for their final resting place is very special. There are those who say "There are people who get paid to do this" do not understand the gift of being able to wrap your arms around that person and hold their physical remains through this time. This casket was built by Rodney, JR, Rory & Curtis. Rebekah, Rachael, Jennine, Kristi, Donna, Deanna Newbold and I worked on the lining. Every casket that we have done has been unique and reflect the spirit of our loved one who has passed. The wood, finish, interior stitchings, even the fabric choice reflect our love for that specific person. We cannot make a casket for every person in our life who passes away. It is not physically possible or mentally. I really believe that it is important to have your own personal experience in the grieving process. Do something that memorializes that person and helps you with that transition. On every casket that Rod & I make, we have a very special spiritual experience. We treasure those moments that we feel the spirit of our loved one linger with us and inspire us to move forward.

Did you do this too? You must have since you did everything else on the casket. That is so beautiful.

About Me

My photo
Teresa
South Jordan, Utah, United States
The house is quiet, The kids are gone They all have other places to live and now Rod & I become 2 + infinity. What fun this is to only have each other to blame when we are looking for the remote. Or what to have for dinner. Or how late to sleep in...... until we hear the pitter patter, squeak squeak of James & Chanel's little shoes. So, now we are trying something new-- a blog-- to share our lives with our friends and family who are near and far. So if you want to join in the fun, feel free to add a comment or two.
