Give Without Thinking of Bronze Plaques
When you receive a gift how do you feel? Surprised, excited, happy, grateful, proud, appreciated, loved. Giving, otherwise known as charity, is a virtue. It is easier not to give, because it doesn’t require anything on your part. But when you do, it’s like loving. Karma returns to you, and if you don’t believe in [...]
Give Back, Become Part of the Tree of Life
“Have you reviewed all the documents?” “Yeah.” “How much are we leaving to the university?” “Almost half.” “Good, Dad would’ve been happy about that.” “Yeah, he loved that school. He told me that when he was younger and he walked through the halls and gazed at all of the memorial plaques with the faces of [...]
Bronze Plaques Are Not Third Place
Bronze is a strange metal. It is shiny and valuable but because of it’s relative worth when compared to silver or gold or platinum it is sometimes seen as lesser. In engraving though you can rarely do better than bronze. Sure we’d love to give everyone a white gold plaque and then hang that outside [...]
Memorial Plaques, How We’re Remembered
Memories are strange and often unknowable things. Science at this point has very little understanding of our memory. It might seem obvious but they have even less information about how our emotional memories work. That said people go through great pains to define how exactly they will be remembered. It’s important to feel like your [...]

How Should You Honor Someone?
If you have a cause, and someone has been kind enough to support it, you should by all means find a way to thank them. You could send flowers, chocolates, take out an ad in the paper, give them a shout-out on your Twitter (don’t do just that last one; it’s lame) — or you [...]
What Exactly Is a Tree of Life?
The term “Tree of Life” can mean a lot of different things to different people. For example, it has a number of religious connotations — for Judeo-Christians it’s a tree in the Garden of Eden; for those who practice Kabbalah, it’s a mystical symbol which describes the path to HaShem; for Mormon’s it’s a symbol [...]
