Back then they took photos of the flower arrangements, even in the casket, and gave them to the family as a memory. They're literally chromes, the raw film, cut and placed in an elegant card.

I plan on using their services when my time comes, I remember some gorgeous dark oak Tudor style chairs that I coveted,when I attended funerals of neighbors and friends there.But I think I will follow David Bowie’s excellent example and skip my own funeral with direct cremation.Patricia Kennealy Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208243811708249314noreply@blogger.com
