Guest Contributor:  CJ Doherty Age:  23

On February 3, 2013, I lost one of my best friends, Forrest Peck.  Forrest was the first person to offer me his friendship and guidance when I changed schools my senior year of high school.   He died in a car crash at the age of 23.  I got the call from my friend that he had passed and it hit me hard.

We were pleased to be included in a front page article in our hometown newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle about new creative ideas for cremation. Our plantable seed cards and plantable butterfly seed forget-me-not bookmarks, and pocket pewter charm memorial favors were featured. One of our customers was interviewed and was quoted, “My mother-in-law collected butterflies and loved to read, we’re all presonalizing our services in ways we never would have thought of years ago, and those bookmarks were perfect.” Thanks Shirley Krenske! http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Cremation-Ashes-to-diamonds-or-moon-dust-3743943.php

Plantable Seed Memorial Bookmarks Grow Forget-Me-Not Flowers When Planted

We are very pleased to introduce our new line of memorial plantable forget-me-not bookmarks. It’s long been a tradition to hand bookmarks out at funerals. Since we suggest celebrating the life that was lived, we thought it appropriate to give bookmarks a more contemporary look and feel.
