SARASOTA,FL— Back in
2015, research by busi-
ness advisory firm Deloitte
found, “Mass personaliza-
tion is set to become a re-
ality, with 36 percent of
consumers saying they are
interested in personalized
products or services.” Bo-
gati Urn Company has
launched an exclusive urn
collection to better provide
this growing personaliza-
tion culture with similarly
extensive options for after
death.
“In daily life, personal-
ization options range from
baby products to house
wares. We don’t think this
level of personalized detail
should cease once some-
one passes,” said Andrea
Bogard LeBlanc, owner
of Bogati Urn Company.
“In fact, the more person-
alization the better when
it comes to creating a final
memory for a loved one.
That’s why we created the
Bogati Exclusive Urn Col-
lection.”
The initial lines in the ex-
clusive collection are fo-
cused on the spiritual and
pet markets. With input
from both families and fu-
neral and cremation ser-
vice customers, Bogati’s
marketing team has hand-
picked images for both
themes. The spiritual line
features subtle scenes that
are universally recognized,
including Mary and Baby
Jesus, Older Jesus, Our
Lady of Guadalupe. For
youth urns, images such as
angels and Jesus with chil-
dren are featured. For the
pet line, the team has cho-
sen some of the most pop-
ular breeds to represent the
needs of the pet market.
“One of the benefits of
customization is we can
create products on de-
mand, so each line can ex-
pand as the markets dic-
tate,” said Scott Speicher ,
Marketing Director.
Both wooden and metal
urns are available for the
current themes. For now,
the metal urns are avail-
able in adult sizes with a
capacity of up to 200 cu-
bic inches while the wood-
en urns come in both adult
and youth sizes with capac-
ities from 45 cubic inches
to 200 cubic inches.
“When we looked at the
overall selection of urns
available today, we felt these
specific niches were really
underserved when it comes
to choice and selection.
That’s why we started with
them,” said Bogard LeBlanc.
“Our evaluation has proven
to be accurate. Initial sales
numbers show them to have
been very well received, es-
pecially in Hispanic markets
both inside and outside the
United States.”
Future Bogati Exclusive
Urn Collection themes will
to include sports, military,
and nature themed urns.
Founded in 2004 by An-
drea Bogard LeBlanc, Bo-
gati Urn Company offers
funeral homes and cre-
matories unparalleled ser-
vice and wholesale pricing
on an equally unparalleled
