Bogati Urn Company Debuts Two New Catalogs SARASOTA,FL— Bogati Urn Company is ex- cited to announce the debut of two new - and greatly expanded - product catalogs for urns and cremation jewelry. Each new volume now mea- sures in at 8.5x11 inches, offering easy storage in a notebook, or on a shelf or display table. Volume 19, released in 2018, featured both urns and cremation jewelry. By contrast, Volume 20 now showcases Bogati’s most popular urn de- signs, including wooden oak tower urns from Vietnam with wood appliques; lightweight resin urns with a high-gloss finish in purple, blue or red inlaid with various designs; and several new photo urns that customers can personalize with Company’s marketing and promotions director, Kimber Dudek. “With a high-gloss finish and professional photography, we think we’ve achieved just that: an attractive picture book for any show- room or arrangement room.” Print versions of the new catalogs are avail- able by calling 941-751-3382 or requesting online at www.bogatiurns.com/catalog. An on- line version of the catalog is also available there by clicking on the cover image. Founded in 2004 by Andrea Bogard LeBlanc, Bogati Urn Company offers funeral homes and crematories unparalleled service and wholesale pricing on an equally unparalleled variety of urns and related products. Its original lead crystal line has expanded to feature a diverse and hand-se- lected product line from trusted manufacturers and skilled artisans worldwide. Its inventory now includes hundreds of memorial urns for adults, children and pets in varying materials, including glass, marble, wood, porcelain, brass and metal. Custom options are also available. Bogati Urns is headquartered in Sarasota, FL and is a proud member of several industry organiza- tions, including the Association of Independent Fu- neral Directors of Florida; Florida Cemetery, Crema- tion & Funeral Association; Cremation Association of North America; and Pet Loss Professionals Alliance. their own photo or choose from our selection of pho- tographs, poetry or origi- nal artwork created by Bo- gati artists. Along with just a sampling of pet related urns and cremation jewelry on the last three pages, Vol- ume 20 is a perfect overview of Bogati’s offerings for fam- ilies to peruse. As for cremation jewelry, Volume 19 featured just 32 pieces while 2019’s 9x6-inch standalone jewelry catalog featured significantly more. Since then, Bogati’s jewelry product line has rapidly ex- panded right along with the demand in this ever-growing category. So the new crema- tion jewelry catalog reflects this marked growth with hundreds of necklace, brace- let, and keychain designs showcased. The company’s jewelry packages, which in- clude 12 pieces of jewelry all of a similar theme (Vet- erans, Birthstones, Spring, Summer, For Mothers, For Fathers, Dog Days and Cat Crazy) in a complimentary glass-top linen display box with clasp, are also highlight- ed in the new version. A separate wholesale price sheet will accompany both catalogs so funeral/crema- tion personnel can set their own pricing for the items fea- tured inside. All Bogati prod- ucts can be viewed by indus- try professionals at www. bogatiurns.com while www. oururncatalog.com is avail- able, without branding or pricing, so funeral homes and crematories can share Bogati’s complete product availability with the families they serve. “It is our goal to offer fu- neral homes and crematories catalogs that not only show them, the professionals, what we have to offer but which also serve as show pieces they can confidently put right in the hands of the families they work with,” said Bogati Urn
