A. 12" is the "standard" length, however there is a 8", 12", 16", 21", 25", 30", 34" and 39" unit available.
A. It is very unlikely that a LOV Notes RECEIVER will ever be filled, and by following a few simple suggestions, there is a greater assurance that it will not be filled. Use biodegradable paper products; allow water to enter (Water is the main ingredient in the natural recycling process). Do not waste the space by adding envelopes. Simply fold the note. In the event that it does become full: uninstall concrete frame only; then remove the bits and pieces of recycled paper, and replace everything back to original working order. OR : Uninstall the frame. Cover receiver with dirt and reinstall the frame over a new Receiver. Thus not disturbing the contents.

A. Yes!
A. Only designed for notes or pictures.
A. The openings are slight. They are designed to receive a thin note. Most other objects such as leaves and small animals etc. cannot enter. However, the unit is designed so that water will enter. (Water is the main ingredient for natures recycling of the notes; as well as, "Creating room for more Notes ".
A. Yes! The receiver will drain as natural as the ground it is placed in. If your ground has a tendency to HOLD water; then enhance drainage by placing Gravel in the hole before setting the RECEIVER. [Be sure to keep proper depth of hole]. Then SURROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE RECEIVER with Gravel approximately 4 to 6 inches deep [The more Gravel the GREATER the drainage potential] (If you choose to, you can use all gravel).
A. Once the unit is properly installed: LOV Notes unconditionally guarantees the unit.
A. At the present time, we offer two colors. One has an assortment of brown shades; the other has shades of green. No two are exactly the same. (each one is individually colored).

A. A LOV Notes unit is perfect for the "pet cemetery" or at the home of a grieving pet owner. (A great way to remember that special pet friend).
A. The artwork on top of the bronze heart was created by a grieving artist as an expression, that LOV is stronger than death. The 3 creations are called "flutterflies". They are the mighty messengers of the heart, connecting us "spirit to spirit".
A. Cemetery fees vary from facility to facility.
The following Questions address the concerns of the cemetery: A. Cut at 1-inch increments. Examples: ~ 1", 2", etc. VERY IMPORTANT: If you need to shorten the receiver, always cut the bottom end. An 8-inch RECEIVER can initially hold 300 notes, if you need to cut the RECEIVER shorter than 8-inches we recommend offering a LOV Notes Home unit.
A. Then for the LOV Notes suggested retail price you may offer your client a LOV Notes Home unit, (or refer them directly to LOV Notes). They can take it to their home or any area of their choice along with the instructions on how to install it themselves.
A. Yes. The bronze is recessed into the concrete frame and the frame is flush mounted with the ground.
A. Yes. The concrete is as thick or thicker than is traditional at the cemetery. In addition, our concrete is reinforced and is produced by Automatic Wilbert Vault Company Inc. (Also: Sealed with Industrial sealer). (During the design stage of the LOV Notes unit the needs of the cemetery and groundskeepers were addressed.) Robin and Gary Parsons took the energy of their GRIEF and created "LOV Notes" to be used as a GRIEF-RELIEF tool, as an expression of the CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP ~ which gives everyone a tangible way to STAY CONNECTED to their loved one through a physical symbol. Allowing them the opportunity to write and express as they feel moved to. |
