ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a technique for preserving the remains of a deceased individual. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for preserving cremated ash remains of a deceased individual by consolidating the ashes into a resin that solidifies within an urn or similar container to create a permanent, solid sculpture memorial.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to preserve cremated ash remains of a deceased individual, which can be a human, or a beloved dog, horse, or other animal, by incorporating same into a memorial sculpture.
It is another object to retain the preserved ash remains of a deceased individual permanently in an attractive urn or similar container.
According to one aspect of the invention, an urn or hollow container can be formed in any desired shape, such as a statuary urn, to serve as a permanent memorial to the decedent. Suitable curable resin materials for the urn achieve a bronze, metal, ceramic, stone, or wood surface look. The cremated ash remains are mixed with the same curable resin material and the mixture is poured into the shell of the sculptural urn. This mixture is allowed to cure or solidify, and then any remaining space can be topped off with the resin. That is also allowed to cure. Favorably, the sculptural shell has an open bottom, and the same is inverted for this procedure, and then set right side up when complete. This technique results in a statue including the preserved remains, that serves as fitting tribute to the decedent and also beautifies home or garden.
