Towards the later part of my father's career he worked with a company making wooden coffins and urns. Some where made specifically to not have any metal screws or fasteners and instead were made with wooden pegs and glue. Recently a friend of the family passed and they wanted her to be buried in one of these urns. Luckily they were able to find three. This example has a rose theme. I'm sure Mike would be honored to know they wanted to put their loved one to rest in one of his creations, and thank you for the photos.
