Valerie Saxer PRESS RELEASE STARDUST ART is an original, artistic way to memorialize your departed loved one or beloved pet. Longtime artist, Valerie Saxer, has designed a vibrant collection of giclee paintings that she respectfully enhances with a small portion of cremains, providing an extraordinary visual reminder of your loved o...ne for your home. The collection is offered on medium weight canvas, in eight color combinations and three sizes, completely personalized for you. Each piece is framed.A new addition to the line is “memorial photo enhancements”. Keepsake art will be created onto medium weight canvas by reproducing a cherished 3 by 5 photo and then enhancing it with a tiny portion of your loved one’s cremains.Another option for families wishing to honor their pets, is a canvas enhanced with “paw prints” of our earth friendly compound and a small amount of cremains.Valerie Saxer is a former nurse and currently a hospice volunteer and artist. She is working with the funeral industry nationwide and is a member of C.A.N.A. We strive to be as earth-friendly as possible, and use “green” or environmentally friendly products. Perhaps they are not stars, but rather the stardust in the heavens, shimmering to let us know they are still with us. Please visit www.stardustart.net to see how the artwork is created or further information on ordering. Custom sizes are also available. STARDUST ART L.L.C.

Cremation Association of North America Check out our new poll, Did you attend the NFDA Convention in Boston?

John

John Am at the NFDA Convention this week. Great turnout, great exhibit area and a number of productive meetings. Interest in cremation is VERY high. Mike Nicodemus had over 100 at his session on litigation issues at 10:00 AM Sunday morning, and Bill McQueen's session on Advanced Cremation Arranging has likely twice that num...ber -- it is standing room only for his session!

New members, stronger relationship with NFDA, and a very positive response to the CANA message -- all good!

Thanks, Jessica. We were honored to be part of the program...and what a great program it was, especially with the inspiring remarks of Coach Jack ("We Are Marshall") Lyengal to set the tone.
