Bellevue, WA December 1, 2004 -- A memorial frame with a classic look and modern features was released last month by First Class Framing, a Bellevue area picture framing company which has brought framing to the 21st Century and to the Funeral industry with its innovative designs and E-Z mount photo system.

It is a unique Memorial Frame, said Shar Calder, President of First Class Framing, because bereaved family members now have access to a custom quality picture frame offered at a funeral home allowing them a quick and E-Z system to display photographs of a loved one at a wake or funeral service.

As funeral planning unfolds, many families in the process of organizing a funeral will discover they have a need to display the memories and life achievements of the individual they wish to honor. Due to, understandable time constraints and other priorities, a family usually opts to assemble a quick, makeshift remembrance board or table with photos of the dearly departed.

First Class Framing wanted to give consumers a permanent, custom quality alternative by providing an, affordable Memorial frame that is available to clients on their initial visit to a funeral home, Calder said. We accomplished this by developing the E-Z mount photo system and by building ready-made, suede matted frames that feature pre-cut photo openings to display photographs.

These innovations allow family members to quickly mount 8 standard sized photographs of a loved one using the peel-and-stick photo mounting tabs provided with each frame. The frame also includes a free custom engraved plaque ordered directly from the company, which further adds a timeless permanence to each frame, explained Calder.

The entire line of memorial frames are built from the highest quality materials in the framing industry and feature acid-free suede mat board, UV protected glass and a built-in photo door. This new family heirloom will help protect photographs for future generations to enjoy.

The Memorial Frames can be viewed online at www.firstclassframing.com and have a MSRP of $159.93. These frames can be seen in the December issues of American Funeral Director and Mortuary Management, leading funeral trade magazines.

First Class Framing is a Bellevue, WA internet-based framing company specializing in top quality suede matted theme frames to display all of lifes special memories and will ship frames anywhere in North America. www.firstclassframing.com
