Piano Urns

Deep Wells of Emotion

Piano music is so emotive that it's often used in music therapy. And no wonder. Piano music has been proven to have amazing therapeutic effects including (but not limited to) the following:

• Dulling pain
• Helping access memories
• Encouraging physical activity
• Reducing symptoms of anxiety and stress
• Stimulating intellectually
• Improving sleep quality 

When we listen to or play piano music, we often find that we're able to access deep wells of emotion that we may not have reached otherwise. If your departed loved one was known for using their musical gifts to help others access these therapeutic effects, it could be that the perfect way to memorialize them is with an elegant piano urn. 

Setting the Tone

We have probably all noticed how music has been used at various times to set a particular tone. Whether it's been at cocktail parties, in the gym, at weddings, restaurants, or simply our own kitchens on a Saturday morning, we've experienced the power of music to get us in a specific mood. While an upbeat melody could make us dance, a slow dirge might make us cry.

The secret behind why music has such a powerful ability to set the tone lies in how our brains work.

According to researchers, listening to sounds such as music and noise has a significant effect on our moods and emotions because of brain dopamine regulation — a neurotransmitter strongly involved in emotional behavior and mood regulation. (Hindustan Times)

Whether your loved one was a skilled pianist or simply someone who loved to play the piano as a hobby, their musical gift had the ability to set the tone for the rest of us. An elegant piano urn work as an everlasting nod to that enduring power. 

Sharing a Gift

Playing any kind of instrument is as much a gift as it is a skill. Most pianists are born with a bit of natural ability, which they in turn learn to nurture over the years through lessons, practice, and deep immersion. By honing their musical abilities and sharing them with the rest of us, these musicians have made the world a better and more beautiful place in which to live. How fortunate we are that they shared their gift with us.

To forever honor their investment of time and energy, we can choose an elegant piano urn as their final resting place.  

Expressing Themselves

Few of us would dispute that music is often heard as expressive of emotions by listeners. Because music affects the brain in such strong and unique ways, it's always been considered a conduit through which musicians have been free to express themselves and share their emotions. Through their music, they've also invited us in, allowing us to experience what they're thinking and feeling. 

If your loved one was gifted in expressing themselves through the piano, an elegant piano urn would be a wonderful way to honor them for that particular mode of self-expression.

Grief and Remembrance

Whether your loved one played the piano specifically or just loved music in general, an urn with musical symbolism could be a wonderful way to allow them to continue expressing their passion for music. Though the grief you're feeling may fade over time, their memory can remain memorialized in an elegant piano urn.
