Abstract

A system for applying a personal message to a heat resistant cameo that is intended to be included with a deceased person during a cremation process. The system includes a holder having a middle passage constructed and arranged to receive the cameo therein with the cameo having a predetermined inscription surface upon which a personal message can be inscribed; a transfer sheet with the holder retaining the transfer sheet and being constructed and arranged to stretch the transfer sheet over the inscription surface of the cameo; and a mask that is disposed over the transfer sheet. The mask has a middle hole therein that is aligned with the middle passage of the holder.

Claims

1. A system for protecting a remembrance stone or cameo that is in a crematory retort that holds a deceased person during a cremation process in which there is created a high temperature environment in the crematory retort in a temperature range of 1600°

F. (871°

C.) to 1800°

F. (982°

C.), the improvement comprised of including a sleeve having an interior surface and formed of a flexible sheet of a high-temperature fabric material that receives and seals, by means of a high temperature adhesive, about the remembrance stone or cameo, and further including an interior surface coating on the interior surface of the sleeve so that a chemical reaction is induced by the high temperature environment in the crematory retort, said chemical reaction occurring so as to alter one of the appearance, patina, and aesthetics of an outer surface of the remembrance stone or cameo.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is constructed of one of a treated fiberglass and a woven ceramic.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is constructed of a high temperature flexible insulating cloth.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is constructed of one of a vermiculite-coated material and a spun ceramic material.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the interior surface coating of the sleeve is one of organic and inorganic substances.

6. The system of claim 5 further including one of a binding agent and gluing agent which coats the interior surface.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is constructed of a silicon oxide-based fabric.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the interior surface of the sleeve is also coated with vermiculite so as to be able to withstand continuous temperatures of at least 1500°

F.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is sealed by means of a high-temperature adhesive in the form of a high temperature silica-based gasket cement.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein said sleeve is substantially cylindrical in shape and has an open end that is sealed by means of a thin elongated bead of a high temperature adhesive that extends across the entire open end.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the sleeve has an opening at opposed ends and a thin elongated bead of a high temperature adhesive extends across the entire open end at both ends of the sleeve.

12. The system of claim 1 wherein said sleeve has an open end that is sealed by means of a high temperature adhesive that extends across the entire open end.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein the sleeve has an opening at opposed ends and a thin elongated bead of a high temperature adhesive extends across the entire open end at both ends of the sleeve.

14. The system of claim 12 wherein the sleeve has an opening at opposed ends and a thin elongated bead of a high temperature adhesive extends across the entire open end at both ends of the sleeve.

15. The system of claim 1 wherein said sleeve is hollow and has an open end that is sealed by means of a high temperature adhesive that extends across the entire open end.

16. The system of claim 15 wherein the high temperature adhesive is formed in an elongated bead of the high temperature adhesive that extends across the entire open end.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein the sleeve is substantially cylindrical in shape with the open end formed at an end of the sleeve and the bead of the high temperature adhesive extends linearly across the entire open end.
