Continued from Page B1 COVID-19 INDUSTRY RESPONSE Kentucky Woodshop responds to Coronavirus LOUISVILLE,KY— Kentucky Woodshop, LLC is now of- fering a new option for urn re- tailers that not only provides online shopping and sanitized products, but also allows cus- tomers to create fully-custom- ized urns for their loved ones. The prevalence of COVID-19 has forced our society to make adjustments to how we live and how we shop. Ken- tucky Woodshop is helping those dealing with death by providing services aimed at addressing these new dan- gers. This US-based company sanitizes all products prior to shipment, ensuring that the urn your customers receive will be free of germs. The coronavirus has also limited – and in some cas- es completely prevented – the ability to shop in brick- and-mortar stores as one would traditionally do. Instead, many people are turning to the internet for their purchas- ing needs. Kentucky Woodshop has launched a new web- site to help urn retailers meet the needs of their clients as online shopping continues to escalate. Urn retailers can recommend DesignMyOwnUrn.com to their customers as a new option for purchasing crema- tion urns. Customers deal directly with Kentucky Wood- shop and are guided through the process of designing an urn that perfectly represents and honors their loved one – all from the comfort and safety of their own home. The urns are available with nearly unlimited options, including size, shape, wood type, and personalization op- tions. Artwork choices include 2D or 3D art, a painting, engraved photo, and raised letters. Customers can add a plaque or even a clock to their custom-designed urn. Once the design is submitted, the urn will be manufac- tured to those specifications, sanitized, and shipped to the funeral home.
