gold star families

The heroes collection is designed specifically for funeral homes. There are 2 different versions. Version 1 includes 6 different versions of the poem A Hero’s Welcome. There is a version for Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Police and Firefighter. Note all combinations of uniforms are not possible. All figures are male based on availability of figures. Version 2 is an assortment of service related prints. This includes three versions of A Hero’s Welcome and three additional service related prints. Each print is 11×14 and signed by Robert Longley.

Other Memorial Prints

Personalized versions are also available. But based on timing and needs of the family, having a version ready for a funeral or memorial service is often the primary concern. In this time of Covid where flowers and services are scaled back, A Hero’s Welcome makes for a more permanent memorial for families of those in uniform. Each pack is $199 and includes shipping in the Continental U.S. For ordering contact us directly.

the Hero Collection

The Heroes Collection is designed so funeral homes would always have an appropriate memorial gift available when someone in uniform leaves this earth. I’ve had the pleasure of having my work used in the funeral and memorial services of over 500 people in uniform. Some have been people I’ve known, most I never knew. Some even died before I was born. In 2020 a casualty of Pearl Harbor was finally identified and returned home to be buried on his 100th birthday. A Hero’s Welcome was read at his service. Where time may be less of an issue, personalized version of existing prints are available. Custom poems are also available but usually not within the planning window for most funerals or memorial services.
