Dr. Troyer Offers Online Community Grief Program for Funeral Homes Dr. Jason Troyer MARYVILLE,TN— Recognizing the chal- lenges funeral homes face when offering grief support and grief groups, Dr. Jason Troyer has launched an online grief pro- gram. The GriefPlan Online Program is a series of over 60 videos and 50 activi- ties that help the bereaved heal, remem- ber, and rebuild after loss. Funeral homes can sponsor the program for their com- munities and have unlimited numbers of people enrolled. Dr. Troyer also includes regular Facebook posts to promote the program on behalf of the sponsor. “This program is ideal for funeral home owners who want to provide grief support to their entire communities, but don’t have staff with the time and expertise. Es- sentially it is a turnkey grief program with built-in publicity,” said Dr. Troyer. Dr. Troyer is a grief expert and former psychology professor who provide Face- book services, presentations, and grief support materials for funeral homes and cemeteries. He also works as a community engagement consultant for Smith Funer- al & Cremation Service and Grandview Cemetery. For more information, visit www.JasonTroyer.com or call 865-748-0582. Glass Remembrance introduces MemoriMetals MemoriMetals Geode MemoriMetals Crystal PATASKALA.OH— Glass Remem- brance is proud to introduce Memo- riMetals. Both the MemoriMetals Crystal and Geode creations are metal rainbow-colored and grown with love. “This line of metal crystals, a complete departure from our glass line, are made with the same care and quality,” says owner Leatrice Guttentag. The natural process makes each item unique with its own shape and color saturation as each metal crystal is grown from the cremated remains of loved ones. The MemoriMetals transforma- tion and change creates a message that helps to adapt with calm assurance. The MemoriMetals Crystal is an orig- inal crystal lattice structure formed with the cremated remains deep inside. It has a unique shape and rainbow pattern housed under a beautiful glass dome. The minimum size of the crystal is 2” across. The glass dome (4.5” h x 4.75” w) has a black wood base. Engraving on the dome is available. The MemoriMetals Geode is a met- al hemisphere that opens to a rainbow display of crystals formed inside. Each Geode is a one-of-a-kind home as in- dividual as the cremated remains it sur- rounds. The Geode measures a mini- mum of 4” across by 1.25” deep and comes with a black wood stand. An en- graved nameplate is available. The turnaround time for the Memo- riMetals line is the same as the entire Glass Remembrance line which is 4 weeks. The addition of the Memo- riMetals line adds another great option for families in the ever growing crema- tion market. To learn more, visit www. glassremembrance.com .
