About Strawberry Designs
Strawberry Designs, believes that printing in-house via funeral home or church are relics of the past. Today’s digital printing should be left to companies who specialize in and execute full-time the art of digital printing and design.  Just as individuals select a physician who specialize in a specific field, funeral homes should do likewise.  Having a printer who specializes in funeral programs enables the funeral home to have a strategic partner that is competent in that particular field also allowing the funeral home to do what they do best which is to provide a memorable funeral. Last, selecting a specialized funeral program printer is just smart because it is cost effective and it provides a higher level of service than the funeral home is able to provide.  Strawberry Designs provides full color, full bleed customized funeral programs that parallel greeting cards along with accessories such as register books with watermark images of the dearly departed, thank you cards and casket panels, just to name a few. More importantly, Strawberry Designs collaborates with the funeral home to be their marketing component and distribute marketing pieces, which is far more effective than any direct mail marketing and or electronic advertising. Specifically on the back of each funeral program, there is a full color image of the funeral home, its address and additional contact information.
