The Neptune Society has begun a National Advertising Campaign in USA Today. Clearly the independent cremation giant is trying to cash in on skyrocketing  rise in cremation across the United States. This advertising may also attract  the growing number of Funeral Consumers who want to pay less for Funeral Goods and Services.

“Just what kind of dead guy will you be—the afterlife version of a Hummer, resting under a giant marble monument to your fabulousness, or an eco-friendly pile of ashes that can easily fit into an old flower vase? If you’re interested in the latter, the Neptune Society would like a word. For the first time ever, the country’s largest independent cremation company has launched an ad campaign in USA Today with the tagline: “Think outside the wooden box!”via www.brandfreak.com

The ad will be running once a month for the rest of 2010 in USA Today.

The Neptune Society was fined last year by the State of Colorado for violating laws in Funeral Sales. They do have a history of such matters so don’t fall for their pitch “Think Outside the Wooden Box”

Taking Chance is a Must See Funeral Movie for Every American family.  It was aired last Saturday night and has gained wide military exposure.

It is movie making at it’s best. It is funeral information of the Highest Caliber. It screams about the casualties of America’s War dead. It bleeds your heart. It Promotes Respect. This according to a USA Today Article.

“There is a power and beauty to restraint that seldom finds its way onto TV.”

“A small, almost perfectly realized gem of a movie, Taking Chance is also precisely the kind of movie that TV should be making. Its story — a real-life example of the military’s little-publicized policy of providing a uniformed escort for every fallen soldier — is too small for a wide-release feature film, even with star Kevin Bacon attached.

And yet it’s a story that should be seen in every American home, and one that, if you don’t know it, will leave you wondering why you don’t know it.”

Military Escorts are quiet unsung heros. So are those who have died for your freedom. You  may view the trailer to this movie with some unique personal commentary here. (You Tube Trailer) This is a  great flick on the courage of military escorts and America’s War Heros. The highest funeral cost  is the death of the person involved.
