Immortalize Robert

My name is Travis and this is my dad Robert.

He has been sick for some time and passed on July 5th 2023.

We would like to immortalize him in a fashion fitting someone who dedicated his life to the instruction and practice of HEMA style sword fighting, to have his remains forever incorporated into a blade.

His wishes are to be cremated and have his ashes scattered appropriately.

After discussing it with him, he has agreed to have some of his ashes used as a portion of the carbon needed to smith a sword.

This of course requires both the process of cremation itself and the rites thereafter to have this completed.

I am able to cover most of it, but am looking for a little help to secure this being able to be done in a timely manner and create an heirloom that can be passed down through the generations in our family to remember him, his life, and what he taught us.

With your help you can make this idea and dream become real and help an old practitioner continue to live after his life is over.

Thank you.
