Years ago, I had suddenly lost someone very dear to me. It took me a long time to adjust to the pain, especially on special holidays. I thought if I placed a greeting card at the headstone, it would make me feel better. I created one for his birthday, and for the first time, I didn't feel so alone. I decided to start making cards to help others express their continuing love for their passing beloveds. These biodegradable, flower seeded greeting cards are to be displayed at the cemetery headstone/ memorial sites/ gardens. The cards were created to be not as sad but more acceptable that our missed beloved is gone and still be able to acknowledge special occasions like we use to when they were here with us...plus keep it earth-friendly.
The closed card is to be placed into the provided "easy display-wooden stand" to keep the personally written message between the griever and the missed beloved. Plus, take home and plant the perforated bottom strip from the flower seeded, biodegradable card, with hopes of a flower to bloom as a memorial of your loved one.
We will love & remember them forever.
This is how Pushing Up Daisies Cards ® came to bloom.
You don’t feel so empty leaving the cemetery…The pain is not as deep.
