    Hi

    i need help finding a sign name thats orginal .....we recycled this year a life size gemmy talking skeleton and a fellow haunter was nice enough and did a voice track for me for him like he is selling his tombstone and coffins....

    i was thinking of ED's Gravestone (Edmond was my dads name) on the sign, but i am open to suggestions ......

    Without hearing the syntax or demeanor of the vocals...

    You could go the "greasy salesman" route:

    "Honest Abe's Used Graves" or "Coffins 4 Less"



    Or use actual retailers for inspiration. I would reccommend using the same fonts and color schemes as the real stores:

    "Grave-Mart" or "Tomb Depot"

    I like what Mindcrime said - use actual stores for inspiration...

    those are good ideas.....it is a small hanging sign above his sales both so not a big space to write alot of words.....i am in a french speaking country here so since all my stuff is in english i try as possible to make it understandble so a name like bury-sentials they (people visiting) wont get it even if i do lol....so i need it simple.....i like the honnest abe aproach.....

    the text the skeleton speaks is "Welcome to our graveyard , i have been waiting for you , i've got this nice tombstone just for you , i just need to write your name on it , .....now .....why not try one of our coffins while you wait for your tombstone......their very comfortable ....is it the right size (and laughing here) .....you may rest in peace now (laughing)

    he sais it like an italian mafia voice type lol.....and he is dressed in black velvet suit with hat and velvet tiger print accent on his hat and suit....he looks very sharp....

    thanks Dusza , thats awsome ......we went with the english version since he speaks english but i might do another sign in french with more text and indications like prices etc.....and have a skelly hold it or something ....

    i was actually thinking of also putting up a skelly that as a big nail and hammer in his hands like he is engraving a tombstone as well ....
