Memorial Rocks can honor loved ones after scattering

Do you know a family that scattered their loved one's cremated remains and is now without a place to share memories and remember?

A Memorial Rock could be a great solution. While our rocks are available with a compartment to hold cremated remains, they can also mark a special space after scattering. 

Having a hard time explaining the importance of a place to share memories? Consider sharing Blake's Story, a video available on our YouTube channel.

Do you already use temporary markers?

We understand that you may already have a way to mark the gravesite before a permanent memorial is in place, but are your temporary memorials: 

• created with an intuitive online ordering system?
• in full-color with a photo of the family's loved one?
• designed to help you sell more personalized memorials?
• backed by an automatic reminder system to help sales staff follow up with families?
• mounted on a plate that can be personalized with your logo and granite color of choice?

If you can't answer yes to all of the questions above, give us a call at 800.798.4900. Our Customer Service team would love to tell you more about what Memorial Security can do for you.

Pet memorialization products shine at ICCFA

What wonderful conversations we had in Tampa at the 2013 ICCFA Convention and Expo. Wondering what got people's attention?

Thanks in part to the PLPA presence at the convention, we had a lot of interest in our pet memorialization products, especially our pet memorial rock with cremation container. 

We also showcased Memorial Security, the temporary memorial program that is helping companies lock in memorial sales. Attendees were delighted to see how easy it was to use our online ordering system to upload a photo and design a temporary memorial.

   

Of course our cast bronze Veteran Companion memorial and all of our bronze markers were frequent topics of conversation.

Plant a garden of memories this spring

Gardeners can't wait to put their hands in the earth once the snow melts away. As spring unfolds, it's a

great time to help families plant a garden of memories with a memorial rock.

Our lightweight rocks are crafted from molds created from natural rocks. Choose a color, style and add a personalized bronze plaque to make it uniquely theirs. You can even add a single or companion container to hold cremated remains.

Visit us at the 2013 ICCFA Convention and Expo next week to see our memorial rocks. Or call Customer Service at 800.798.4900.
