Memorial Cards


Hello
I have not seen an e-mail from you about Mrs. Santoro's memorial cards, and I was not sure how to best communicate, be it by e-mail, text, Facebook, or this blog.
The company through whom I had Anne's memorial cards done,  has all of a sudden fallen off the face of the Earth. They were called Memorial Cards Inc. A quick Google search will show you that they were one of the stronger results when looking for memorial cards. (And of course were the most cost effective!)

www.memorialcardsinc.com/
Memorial Cards Inc. offers beautiful, custom funeral card designs that pay a loving final tribute to the life that is being remembered.

But evidently in just the last few months they went out of business.
 Looking at the other options I find :

Tiny Prints- 
 www.tinyprints.com
$49.75 for 25
- $1.80 per memorial card for 50 ( so $90 for 50) 
 as far as I can see they are not laminated, just heavy card stock.  I do have a 25% off coupon so actually more like $68 for 50. But I don't know if they will let you combine the free shipping offer with the 25% off offer.

Memorial Prayer cards.com
 http://www.memorialprayercards.com
$1.45 per card , and they ARE laminated, more like Anne's. Minimum 50 so $72.50 for 50 ( always free shipping)
 
Funeral Prints .com
https://www.funeralprints.com/prayer-cards/
Laminated, minimum of 50- $84 , free shipping

Personally I think the back of card image selection is better with the latter 2  (but Tiny Prints has a nice beach scene if that appeals).  The decision for the back image would be religious (Jesus, Mary, Angels, stained glass, etc.) semi religious (candles, doves, etc)  Nature- winter, beach, favorite flowers, birds,  etc. or locations such as lighthouse or Italy. 
Let me know what you and Joe are thinking.
