Obviously, the idea behind the creation of Custom Crosses was to fill the needs of those who wanted a memorial, perhaps by the roadside, for their loved ones. But, as this project developed, we discovered many new possibilities, several suggested by customers and others, that open a whole different set of possibilities. We've showcased these below, and you may have other ideas.

Roadside Memorial:  

Easily our most popular to date, this 36" model has been used extensively for auto accidents including every age group, though  recently, we sent one to New York to commemorate the loss of NBC Journalist Richard Bloom in the war with Iraq. The roadside model comes standard with Reflective graphics.

Child Memorial:   Generally we use the smaller 18" model for this, though you may want the 36". In a tragedy involving a child, I can only imagine the heartache and our prayers are with you.

Pet Memorial: Given we've referred to our dog, Bear, as our 'youngest' for several years now, coupled with the fact that I remembered the little cemetery in my childhood in the back yard for every animal I had raised and lost growing up, this seemed like a pretty good idea. Typically, people use the 18" model for this purpose.

Grave Markers:   We live in a small town that has numerous little cemeteries around the community and many gravestones have disappeared over the years except in our older folks memory. Many have begun the process of marking some of these with Crosses. Also, instead of the small metal marker on graves of those folks who can't yet afford a big stone marker, or are awaiting delivery of one, this makes a nice alternative.

Decoration Day Memorials:  In our area, every May, the local churches have their own 'Decoration Day's that allow us to commemorate our loved ones by reuniting our immediate and church families and visiting and decorating their last resting places. Our Cross, with a few flowers added perhaps, make a great addition to this celebration of their life.
