Questions
Before you buy
Does it work with our software?
Yes. The files are ordinary PDFs. They do not connect to your case management software, and they do not need to. Any computer, tablet or phone with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free, can fill them in. Most printers and print shops can print them as they are.
Is there a contract?
No. You pay once and keep the files. Seasons, the optional yearly set of new drawings, can be cancelled whenever you like, and you keep everything you already have.
How do we avoid spelling mistakes?
Your zip includes a proof sheet that lists every word we set for you, from your home's name to the Latin name of the plant. Check it once. Family details are typed by your staff each time, and Acrobat Reader underlines misspelled words as you type.
Who owns the files?
You do. Use them for every family your home serves, print them anywhere, and change any fill-in text. The only limit is that you cannot pass the files or layouts on to another funeral home.
Where does our logo go?
On the back, small, above a line that reads "Set for the family by" and your home's name. The front of every piece belongs to the family. Your home is recognized by the consistent ink, paper and plants across everything you hand out.
Why Helvetica in the fill-in boxes?
Every PDF reader has it, so the details print the same on any computer. The type around the boxes is set in the collection's own faces. If a family wants their name set in that type too, you can set it in the builder.
What paper should we print on?
Uncoated 100 lb cover in cream or natural, or cotton paper if your printer has it. The printer's specification in each collection spells this out, with trim and bleed.
We offer green burial. Is there anything for that?
The specification includes notes on plantable seed paper, and the plant sets are native to each region. Herbarium suits green burial families especially well.
Where do the plant drawings come from?
They are drawn by hand and are not in this first version. Until they arrive, the Herbarium collection is set with the specimen label alone, and it is complete as it is. When drawings are ready, they drop into your files.
Can we see it before paying?
Yes. The builder shows every piece in your ink and type, and the sample PDF is free. It carries a watermark and made-up details.
