MODERNIZE
Y O U R E X I S T I N G C O A C H
When it comes to your funeral fleet, clients of the deceased expect new
vehicles to be a part of their memorializing time. As you know, most of
your coaches have very low mileage, along with a pristine interior. The only
giveaway to its age is the older model/body style of the exterior.
Wolf Limo Conversions understands this, and provides you with a beautifully
enhanced - Modernized Exterior Body Conversion. Simply put, we use your
existing funeral coach, then apply our exclusive exterior conversion
process with precision artistry. Once completed, your older transport will
then sparkle as a late-model gem!

Bogati Urns Donates Portion of May
2017 Sales to Southeastern Guide
Dogs, April to Parkinson’s Foundation
SARASOTA,FL— Losing a loved one is
never easy. When that loved one is a furry
family member it’s certainly not any easier.
Now imagine if that furry family member
was a dog that also “facilitated life’s journey
with mobility, independence and dignity”
as a guide dog for the visually impaired and
veterans. That loss would be especially dif-
ficult. It is in honor of these dogs and the
special bond they create that Bogati Urn
Company will donate 10 percent of select
pet-related items in its catalog sold during
Guide Dog Awareness Month (May 2017)
to Southeastern Guide Dogs.
“The number of lives changed by the
Southeastern Guide Dogs is definite-
ly something to celebrate and recognize.
We are proud to call them neighbors and
do our part to help them fulfill their mis-
sion,” said Andrea Bogard-LeBlanc,
owner of Bogati Urn Company.
That mission includes serving more than
450 graduates across the United States and
placing more than 100 dogs each year. All
dogs and services are provided at no cost
to recipients with the organization receiv-
ing no government funding.
During the month of April, Bogati Urns
donated 10% of selected item sales to the
Michael J. Fox Foundation, in honor of
Parkinson’s Awareness Month.
Founded in 2004 by Andrea Bogard-
LeBlanc, Bogati Urn Company offers fu-
neral homes and crematories unparalleled
service and wholesale pricing on an equal-
ly unparalleled variety of urns, scattering
tubes and related products. Items eligible
for the 2017 donation program can be
