I Thought of You Today Urns
The I Thought of You Today collection is for those whose presence remains part of the daily routine, from the name spoken at breakfast to the photograph kept on a dresser. These aluminum urns, available in full-size or sharing sizes, come in painted colors or a hand-applied enamel finish with silver bands. The "I Thought of You Today" poem is written across the face, with the option to add a two-tone engraving of a name and dates.
This design belongs to an ordinary day, not to a single moment.
Remembering is often composed of small, regular moments rather than singular events. It is found in the quiet rhythm of an ordinary day, where a name is spoken aloud in the car or a specific song plays unexpectedly in a grocery store.
It is for the person whose presence is felt in the small things, like the way a name might still come up during a morning meal or how a certain mug remains set aside. The family has built their remembering into the very structure of their home, and expects to go on doing so for years.
As the poem says, the sentiment is not a single, fleeting thought, but a continuous one. The words run across the face of the urn, and they treat remembrance as a series of quiet, repeated acknowledgments rather than one grand gesture. The text is longer than a single line, allowing the message to stay with the daily acts of keeping a memory close.
These aluminum pieces are offered in a range of painted finishes or in a hand-applied enamel with hand-detailed silver bands. Each urn features a threaded screw-top lid and a felt base.
There are two sizes available to meet the specific needs of a family. A full-size urn is made to hold the entire remains of an adult, while a sharing urn is made to hold a portion of the remains so that more than one person may keep some close. This allows each person to decide how they wish to carry that connection with them.
Each urn can also be engraved by us as an option, with the name and dates in two-tone lettering, cut directly into the surface beside the poem.
If the person was defined by a daily routine and found meaning in small, regular moments, then this design will read as theirs. Families choose this piece because they remember the person every day.
You might picture the person at the breakfast table, in the morning light of the kitchen.
