When a death occurs, there nothing one can say or do. Young or old, there are no "right" words. Our presence speaks volumes as well as our assistance to see that things get done, meals are provided and, most importantly, a shoulder and ear to listen.
Many find comfort holding our Memorial HoldingCross™. It is handrafted from American Soft Maple wood. It is laser engraved with the follwing ...
... and until we meet again
may God hold you in the palm of His hand
We chose American Soft Maple for our this cross. It is a very hard wood that grows in the Pacific Northwest region of Oregon, Washington and Canada. It is only slightly softer than the Hard Maple of the East Coast. When polished it looks like marble or a river rock pebble. It is creamy in color, smooth and comfortable to hold.
The simplicity of this gift blesses adults and children. Names and dates can be laser engraved on the back side should you choose. This can be done now or later. For any custom engraving, please add “One Side Custom Engraving” to your order. This will allow you to enter the specifics of the engraving. (Please note engraving on the blank side is an additional fee.)
Our Memorial Engraved HoldingCross comes with a simple yet meaningful card to compliment the cross and the engraving. On the left inside panel is a short prayer. The card is blank on the inside right panel for your very special message. Your card is tucked together with an envelope in a cellophane package to keep the card clean and ready for you.
As with all of our crosses, there were no stains, lacquers or preservatives used to finish your cross; only a natural oil which is hand-rubbed and polished to enhance the woods natural beauty. When you hold our crosses, you are “feeling” the wood and “seeing” the wood as God created it. No two are alike as boards will vary in color and graining due the environmental conditions it was produced. The shine on the cross is related to the amount of “resin” in the make-up of the wood itself. The more resin the higher the shine.
Crosses are handcrafted in our Palestine, Texas (USA) facility offering the highest quality. Crosses do not require polishing. Holding your cross will allow the oils from your hands to go into the wood and create a soft, patina glow. Never use oil or olive oil on our crosses.
Price noted is for 1 HoldingCross including the complimentary NoteCard sharing 10 scriptures related to being Loved.
Thoughts on Engraving : This wood works well with engraving and is a favorite for custom laser engraving as the etching burns into the wood and has a nice contrast to the pale color of this wood.
Each cross comes in an organza bag with a StoryTag telling the name of the wood and a StoryScroll which contains suggested prayers, CareGiving stories and other information. We do not offer seconds or damaged crosses. Our crosses are all first quality and handcrafted in our shop by our family.
NOTE : The HoldingCross watermark in the picture does not appear on the crosses. The picture is marked for proprietary reasons. ------------------
