<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>A typical memorial program may contain:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Name, dates of life</div><div>Photo</div><div>Obituary</div><div>Program of Service</div><div>Location of Service</div><div>Inspirational Quotes or Sayings</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>But, at Forest Laurel Design: Memorial Services Division* you can have it any way you want it! I can go anywhere from Typical (yawn) to Cutting Edge (whoa, I've never seen one quite like that!). </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>So, how do the people nearest and dearest to Bruce see this piece? Traditional, arty, elegant, fun, classic, FUNKY? Is it something to keep, frame, or otherwise save?</div><div>And, what would you like the content to be? (If this is all too much, I can always wing design and content—just note I would probably lean toward the arty and fun for Bruce). And lastly, how much do you want to spend (I've ball-parked some prices below)?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><b>Other possible content:</b></div><div>Photo(s), collage</div><div>Bruceisms (sayings)</div><div>Message or tribute from family or friends</div><div>Song lyrics</div><div>Claims to fame (obituary. I really don't like that word. Can we use something else?)</div><div>Flying Toasters (I'm pushing for this one)</div><div>Other works of Bruces' art</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><b>Format ideas</b> (approximately priced in quantities of 250):</div><div>8.5" x 11", folded in half - color, color one side, b&w one side - $160; All B&W - $40. <i>Kinkos.</i></div><div>5 x 8" postcard, color one side, b&w one side - $110. <i>PSPrint online.</i></div><div>Greeting Card Style, 10 x 7" (folds to 5 x 7") color outside, B&W inside, scored but not folded - $160. <i>PSPrint online.</i></div><div><i>(If anyone has a vendor they would like me to check with, let me know.

I'll need that Highway font too, if that's important. I may need the image with the highway sign on it too for it all to make sense. Flying toasters, anyone? Is one (or more) of the famous "Closed" pictures funny or morbid?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks, Laurie</div><div>cell 252-2225</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">* I kid you not. Not many folk know about this facet of my business (I just remembered it myself). I was contracted by Hildebrand Industries (one time largest casket maker in the US) to paint pictures of people (and pets) who passed and to teach other people to do the same in their company using a software application called, Painter.</span></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></body></html>
