Our Story
After searching in vain for the perfect urn for his mother, our founder took matters into his own hands.
A worthy tribute for a doting mother
With any loss of life, loved ones and family members are thrust into making arrangements, while also grieving. When our founder, Lawrence Gowin, lost his mother after an unexpected illness, he found himself yearning for an appropriate tribute to the dedicated mom who brought joy to so many.
The usual, generic, mass-produced urns for cremation left him feeling flat. He and his wife, Heather, started Gowin Memorials because they believed people deserve better than an anonymous box, and it’s their passion to bring these exquisite tributes to you and your family. Read more of his story.

Our Customers Celebrate Life with Art
I found Fine Art Memorials when we were going through our preplanning. What a great idea! I've now got a sculpture that reminds me of my fly fishing on the hutch that I can enjoy until the Lord calls me home.

This was such a nice way to honor my husband. We had so many friends and memories with our Corvette.
