Funeral Printing Services in Baltimore
Tuesday, November 18th, 2014Losing a loved one is never easy. Planning a funeral can be even harder. Somehow you have to put aside your grief and plan a beautiful ceremony to honor and celebrate the life of your loved one. It’s not easy, but it is necessary. And there are so many things to consider, from meeting with funeral directors throughout Baltimore to funeral printing and, of course, covering the costs.
Planning a Funeral or Memorial Service
While a somber occasion, a funeral is an opportunity for family and friends to come together to remember and celebrate the deceased, while offering support and comfort to one another. Planning a funeral is a complicated process. Taking the following steps can help you through this trying time.
Honor the Wishes of the Deceased
Some people are very good at planning ahead, especially when they know the end is near. Some people will actually write down their wishes, while others will simply tell friends and family. Either way, it is important to try and honor these wishes as best you can.
Choose a Funeral Home
Contact several funeral directors throughout the Baltimore area to compare options and, perhaps most importantly, to compare prices. But know what you want before you call.
“If you just call a funeral home asking for the price of a funeral, you could be quoted a top-of-the-line service and get taken to the cleaners,” says Joshua Slocum, executive director of Funeral Consumers Alliance. “Just because funerals are emotional transactions doesn’t mean consumers should forget they’re also business transactions, but they do.”
Before you call different funeral homes to compare prices, it is important to know what you want. Will the deceased be buried or cremated? Will there be any special ceremonies? Some Fraternal Orders and the Military may provide special ceremonies for the funeral service. Will this be a large memorial service, or a more intimate affair with family and a few close friends?
You don’t need to iron out all the details, but you should have a general idea of what you want. Then, once you choose a funeral home, the funeral director will help you finalize your plans.
Who will deliver the eulogy? More importantly, who will oversee the entire ceremony? Will there be a guest book? What about pictures? And then there are printed materials to consider…

Funerals and memorial services are all about remembering the deceased. The best way to do this is to tailor the funeral to the deceased. This includes the printed materials: programs, prayer cards, memorial posters, bookmarks, acknowledgement cards, and more.

Sign Printing From Time Printers, Your Baltimore Printing Service
Tuesday, November 12th, 2013A business’s sign, poster or banner is one of the most important cosmetic details a business can have. Why? Because your customers will judge your business on the quality of the signage that you have up in your establishment. You want to make sure that only the highest quality of materials are being used in printing or making your poster, banner or sign. A bad or poor sign can cause customers to think less of your business and may actually cause you to lose out on potential customers.
We can print a poster which is a great tool for promoting a special event or sale. They are an inexpensive way to draw immediate attention to your current promotion. We offer a wide range of printing options including standard and wide-format, a variety of high quality paper stocks, and specialty finishing options. Here are some few poster design tips that will give you a more effective result:
- Keep your message short & simple – An effective poster doesn’t have an extreme excess of information. Only the necessary details and main message are required. A web site url where they can learn more can substitute for any wall of text you feel needs to be on your poster.
- Use tasteful fonts – Don’t use a complicated font or too many fonts on one poster. Both clutter up design and will make your poster hard to decipher. Using a font that makes sense with what event or organization you’re trying to promote. Using too many crazy fonts could cause your poster to be ignored. Simplicity in font usage is never a bad thing. Choose a simple color scheme that compliments the rest of the design.
- Choose a simple color scheme – A simple color scheme that compliments the rest of the design is usually what’s best. Complimentary colors and not too many conflicting graphics will also help getting your message across.
- Make everything symmetric – Unless an asymmetric design is the point of the poster, make everything symmetrical and have your information and images lined-up and spaced properly. A well organised poster is a well read one!
