connection,” stated Boots. “She provided in-

spiration and the barn acted as a great stim-

ulus; C. J. Boots is indeed fortunate to have

this creative relationship with Jennifer.”

This uncommon arrangement has resulted

in five new models to the C.J. Boots’ Craft

Casket line:

Harvest Pine

, a solid pine facetted

top casket featuring a rough barn finish and

rose-tan crepe interior with barn scene head

panel;

Going Home Pine,

a solid pine round

top casket offering a satin finish and white

crepe interior with bird images on the lugs and

a head panel offering birds and the words, Go-

ing Home;

Whitewash Oak

; a solid oak facet-

ted top casket with a rough barn, white wash

finish and a white crepe interior with a Lived,

Laughed, Loved head panel;

Antique Pine

, a

solid pine flat top casket with a satin finish and

rose-tan crepe interior with a baker pipe head

panel; and

Chamberlain Popular

, a solid hard-

wood round top casket with a satin finish and

champagne linen interior with a doric head

panel. A beautiful unique antique blue color

adorns the exterior of this casket.

Spitz’s influence can best be seen in the An-

tique Pine, Chamberlain and Whitewash

Oak models. Each of these caskets offers an

exterior with a distinctive distressed wood ap-

pearance and other unique design features.

“I’ve always had a great deal of respect and

admiration for funeral directors and the fu-

neral profession,” commented Spitz. “I look

forward to assisting Chris with the design and

look of additional caskets in the Craft Casket

line that can help play a role in the memorial-

ization process for grieving families.”

sans and the use of state-of-the-art woodwork-

ing machinery, C.J. Boots Casket Company

manufactures only the highest quality solid

hardwood, veneer and cremation caskets. In

Capsule Urn Featured in New Film

The Book of Love

VANCOUVER,WA—

Modern urn maker,

Capsule Urn LLC,

was selected to pro-

vide product for

The Book of Love,

origi-

nally titled

The Devil and the Deep Blue

Sea,

an American film directed and rewrit-

ten by

Bill Purple

from an original script

Robbie Pickering

and was recently fea-

tured at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival.

Six major motion picture movie starts,

Maisie Williams,

Jessica Biel, Jason Sudei-

kis, Mary Steenburgen, Orlando Jones,

and

Paul Reiser

star in this film. The entry to

the plot of the movie revolves around Ja-

son Sudeikis character, Henry, who is a

widowed architect that strikes up a friend-

ship with Millie (Maisie Williams), an in-

dependent but troubled teen. Hoping to

find her long-lost father, Millie asks Hen-

ry to build her a raft that can sail across

the ocean. After agreeing to do so, the un-

likely duo embarks on an incredible ad-

venture that deepens their bond and lifts

their spirits.

Capsule chose to allow their product to be

included in the film because they believe be-

lieves it will raise awareness of their contem-

porary memorials and the meaning they can

offer to families who have lost a loved one.
