Remains To Be Seen: Honoring A Loved One with Artist Made Memorials
Asheville, NC (PRWEB) July 19, 2013 -- For many of us, the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming for many reasons. Whether or not a death is unexpected, we almost always feel taken aback. We want the memory of our loved one to be honored with reverence, yet many of the choices for memorialization feel impersonal and inappropriate. Shine On Brightly’s new, improved website offers more beautiful, affordable, artist-made products and valuable resources than ever before. The recently re-designed site, at http://www.shineonbrightly.com, features unique cremation urns, memorial and cremation jewelry, hand-bound guest register books, memory books, memorial portraits, memorial glass, stone mosaic grave markers, and much more.
Sure, there are plenty of websites out there that offer thousands of cremation urns and memorials, but, according to our customers, families are looking for personal pieces that reflect the spirit of their loved ones. Here's how we're different - Shine On Brightly memorial products are hand-made by a caring artist, who feels compassion for you and your loved one while making your piece. Our products are never outsourced or mass-produced. Shine On Brightly is the perfect alternative to those generic memorials that are so prevalent in the marketplace.
Shine On Brightly is more than just an online shopping stop. This company provides an experience where you can speak with an understanding person whose mission is to help you find that perfect memorial that captures the essence and spirit of your loved one so perfectly. Founder and owner Adrienne Crowther started the company in 2008 from a lifelong passion for beauty and art. Fifteen months later, she lost her husband unexpectedly, and suffered 2 more profound losses within the next 3 years.
“I suddenly found myself in the position of many of my customers. I wanted to capture the spirit of my loved ones to preserve their memories with the honor and respect that they deserved. To me, the handmade object was the only way to do so.”
To date, the website represents works of 36 artists, and the selection continues to grow. The extensive collection is varied enough to offer products to suit any aesthetic. Stellar customer service is personalized because we’ve experienced the grief and impact that is felt during the passing of a love one. One loyal customer wrote:
“Thank you so much for being a part of my healing process. You don't just have customers. You have friends for life when you deliver them their family in art. I know deep down I didn't just make a transaction, I made a connection that will last a lifetime.”
In addition to the great array of beautiful, artist-made memorials, Shine On Brightly also works with a number of artists who work directly with the customer to create something unique to the loved one. The interchange between artist and client always helps the client with the healing process, because the client is asked to talk about the loved one to provide helpful information to the artist. Another added value is the lovely bond that often develops during this process.
For example, a client recently contacted the company because her late husband loved all things in the style of Art Deco. She met with the artist and showed examples of the pieces in his collection to that artist. Several dialogues later, a gorgeous urn was created, highlighting the aspects he loved most about Art Deco design. The final creation represented her husband in a uniquely personal and tasteful way. It was also extremely affordable, so she was thrilled with the outcome.
Shine On Brightly does not position itself as merely a seller of memorial objects. This company offers the solace and personalization that is so often needed during the difficulty of a loss. Customer service is available M-F, 9am -6pm; toll free at 866-844-4469, or by email info(at)shineonbrightly(dot)com. Voicemail and email are checked during weekends for time sensitive orders.
