Clip Art Casket

Creating a Web site or marketing material for a cemetery, funeral home or pet cemetery business calls for the use of clip art caskets, funerary, grave markers as well as other symbols of the trade. Webmasters and business owners want to use clip art that is tasteful, avoiding art that looks scary or too much like Halloween decorations.

The Internet is one of several places to find clip art caskets and other funerary images. There are several Web sites that offer free or low-cost clip art that you can download to your computer. Some sites offer clip art collections that end-users will have to clip and manipulate so that individual items are singled out. A sampling of the sites offering funerary clip art include the following:

• Dreamstime offers clip art that costs as little as $1 per item, and collections of clip art can cost as much as $15.
• iStock sells a variety of clip art either as single items or in collections. Prices vary greatly depending upon the artist and the number of items in a particular collection
• Microsoft offers plenty of clip art options for the site owner or marketing specialist. Most clip art items can be downloaded for free.

Clip art can be found on CDs and DVDs, depending on how the person marketing them is selling them. Fun clipart is often found on the flip side of movie DVDs; just make sure that you follow copyright usage instructions before you add it to a public brochure or advertisement.

Many retail stores offer clip art discs in their crafts section of the store. This is one way to get a lot of clip art for a fraction of what you would pay downloading it from paid sites on the Internet. The average cost for one of these discs is $15 for hundreds of clip art pictures.

Books with clip art in them aren't as popular as the Internet sites, primarily because you have to scan the pictures to your computer. These books can be found on Internet book sites or at your local bookstore. Check out the craft book area to find clip art titles.

Businesses can use clip art in a variety of ways. Primarily it will add interest to anything you choose to incorporate it in. Many businesses use clip art in the following ways:

• Brochures: Clip art used throughout brochures can highlight items of interest and break up large blocks of white space. Use clip art sparingly though in order to avoid looking too much like a child's comic. Always keep your brochures business-like.
• Newsletters: Using clip art in newsletters always adds color and interest to what you are trying to say. Clip art can be used to illustrate issues or simply to add a little color to the top, middle or bottom of a newsletter.
• Advertisements: Businesses can use clip art in their online ads or those that appear in local newspapers and phone books. Choose the right clip art to represent your business and avoid ones that are too cute to be business-like.

Using clip art caskets, tombstones, urns or flowers can enhance the printed materials your business uses. Consider using these types of pictures, instead of expensive professional photos, on your next newsletter, brochure or advertisement.
