Page B7 AUGUST 2019 FUNERAL HOME & CEMETERY NEWS S ec t i on Bogati Urns Expands Wooden Urn Collection with Artisan Solid Oak Collection Homesteaders Life Company releases New eCheck Payment Option SARASOTA,FL— Given their warm, comforting, and classic feel, wooden urns have long been one of Bogati Urns’ most popular categories, prompting ongoing ex- pansion of the collection. To that end, the company is excited to announce a new line of solid oak urns with ar- tisan applique designs. Made exclusively for the Bogati Urn Company, the new urns are hand made by skilled craftsmen and feature per- fectly mitered edges, a beautiful luster finish, and rubber pads on the corners of the base. “Wood is a wonderful medium for urns because the natural variations of the different wood grains make each urn as unique as the person they’re selected for,” said An- drea Bogard LeBlanc, owner of Bogati Urns. “We’re ex- cited to be able to offer this new collection - the quality is probably the best we’ve ever offered!” Adding to the natural beauty of wooden urns, each urn in the new solid oak collection features a hand-cut, ar- tisan-designed applique. Several designs are currently available for pre-order, including select states, patriotic symbols, and faith-based imagery. Further, new designs can be considered on request, and custom designs can be created for funeral homes and crematories that would like a unique design for their business.  “The multi-step process in creating each urn’s applique is fascinating. They are hand cut and, like a puzzle, seam- lessly put together to create a beautiful work of art,” Bo- gard LeBlanc said. “With the additional duties from China, we needed to look toward other sources in order to continue to keep our wholesale prices very reasonable. This exclusive col- lection offers that and then some,” said Bogard Leblanc. Bogati Urns is headquartered in Sarasota, FL and is a proud member of several industry organizations, including the As- sociation of Independent Funeral Directors of Florida; Florida Cemetery, Cremation & Funeral Association; Cremation Associ- ation of North America; and Pet Loss Professionals Alliance.
