Eternal Cross Made from Cremains

Windsong Memorials uses Cremation Ashes "Cremains" to Make Beautiful Memorials. A great solution to an urn of ashes sitting on your shelf.
 
June 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Cumberland, RI – Windsong Memorials recently introduced a unique product using cremation ashes in the shape of a beautiful cross. Named the “Eternal Cross”, it measures 13 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. “While the concept of using cremains to create a product isn’t completely unique, the Eternal Cross is the first product we’ve seen that contains a large portion of ashes used to make the product versus making a product and then adding a few ashes,” said Alex Lynch, Founder of Windsong Memorials.
The Eternal Cross is personalized with an engraving on the back citing the departed’s name, date of birth, death date, and serial number extracted from the cremation tag.  Additionally, the cross includes a dated Certificate of Authenticity stating for whom the Eternal Cross was made, to whom it commemorates, and the cremation tag number.  The Eternal Cross ships standard with a special device for hanging it on a wall.
As an option, customers can have their Eternal Crosses delivered in a wooden display case sealed with a glass front.  “The display case serves two functions,” said Mr. Lynch. “First it’s to protect your memorial, and second to provide you with a beautiful means for displaying your Eternal Cross.”
As a beautiful piece of artwork memorializing a loved one, the Eternal Cross easily becomes a family heirloom to be passed on from one generation to the next.  Not only warranting family pride in established heritage, dated and rare artifacts like this cross increase in personal and monetary value over years and across generations.
“At Windsong Memorials, we understand that most dearly departed are survived by more than one person. Because of this fact, we make it possible to share your Loved One’s Eternal Cross with other surviving family members by making multiple crosses from the same cremains. Each Eternal Cross we make can be shipped anywhere in the world,” said Mr. Lynch.
The Eternal Cross uniquely honors the by artistically preserving the cremains beyond the standard values instilled by using urns.  Choosing the Eternal Cross allows families to continue honoring their departed’s final wishes or family traditions of burying or scattering cremains while keeping a portion of their loved one close.
When asked what prompted Mr. Lynch to create the Eternal Cross, he replied, “My father passed away a year earlier and my mother opted for cremation.  For months and months, she sat looking at the plastic box of ashes not knowing what to do with them.  She didn’t want to bury or scatter them because she was married to him for over 50 years and took great comfort in having him near.  The thought of a commercialized urn sitting on the shelf was a little disconcerting so I offered to help.  With in-depth research and numerous trials behind me, the spark of creative application ignited brightly. Multiple test cases and proven experiments later, engineering the cross was complete.
 When presented with the cross, my mother cried with joy.  Today, her Eternal Cross hangs proudly above her bed. Every time she sees it, she feels as though her husband, my father, is still with her.  Shortly after giving it to my mother, my sister visited from California.  Upon seeing and learning of the Cross, she immediately wanted one of her own.
As news of Mr. Lynch’s innovation is carried forward by family and colleagues, requests for the Eternal Cross increase.  Having worked in product marketing and global distribution for over twenty years, Mr. Lynch felt ready to “take the cross to market.” He called upon his former business partner and contacts in the Funeral Industry. In fact, Earl Bright, Founder of Bright’s Funeral Home, Providence, Rhode Island, was the first in the industry to see it.  With sincere enthusiasm Mr. Bright remarked, “Never in over 40 years have I seen such a beautiful piece of artwork made using human cremains.”
Since its introduction to the funeral market in April of 2010, 23 funeral homes in New England are carrying the Eternal Cross.  That number is growing on a daily basis.  For further information on the Eternal Cross, contact Alex Lynch at Windsong Memorials, 401-578-8645 or email at info@windsong-memorials.com.  You can also visit their web site at www.windsong-memorials.com.
