Trigard Memorials design tip of the week

If you do not want an accent option on your Classique memorial, please write NO ACCENT in the design box on the order form so we know that section wasn't overlooked.

Ready to transition to upgraded brochures?

More than a year ago, we started offering a new style of brochures for our products. After great responses to the redesign, we are going to transition to the new style and discontinue the smaller, bifold brochures. 

Although the new literature is bigger, there is no price increase.

There are many advantages to the redesigned brochures: 

• The larger size (8 ½" x 11") means each brochure includes more samples and bigger pictures.
• Infant/Child, Medallions, Pet Memorials, and Veteran Companion brochures are one page, front-and-back. Paragon®, Classique, Portrait, Collage, Gallery, and Memorial Rock brochures are two pages, front-and-back, allowing for even more photos.
• The brochures show each series in multiple styles, including ground memorials, urns, and niche/crypt.
• You can still mail the brochure in a standard business envelope by folding it in thirds.
• You can also hole punch the brochure to use in a presentation binder.

If you haven't seen the current brochures, head to the Product Literature portion of our website to preview the PDFs. You can call customer service at 800.798.4900 to order copies to distribute to your customers.

Memorial Rocks can honor loved ones after scattering

Do you know a family that scattered their loved one's cremated remains and is now without a place to share memories and remember?

A Memorial Rock could be a great solution. While our rocks are available with a compartment to hold cremated remains, they can also mark a special space after scattering. 

Having a hard time explaining the importance of a place to share memories? Consider sharing Blake's Story, a video available on our YouTube channel.
