A Legally-Authorized decision to keep and preserve the man’s genitals as “Intimate Mementos” must first be made.  Specific, written directions from either the deceased, or from the Executor of his estate, providing for the [red]harvesting, preservation, transport, plastination, and eventual display of the deceased’s penis, testicles, scrotum, and if desired, the pubic scalp, must first be completed.[/red]  We will need an original copy of this as evidence of authorization for us to do the work.

hmmmm. The founder must be from Ted William's family.

1. A Legally-Authorized decision to keep and preserve the man’s genitals as “Intimate Mementos” must first be made.  Specific, written directions from either the deceased, or from the Executor of his estate, providing for the harvesting, preservation, transport, plastination, and eventual display of the deceased’s penis, testicles, scrotum, and if desired, the pubic scalp, must first be completed.  We will need an original copy of this as evidence of authorization for us to do the work.

2. Service Contract:  We will provide you with a copy of our Service Contract form, which when completed, directs us to provide the plastination process service, and includes the details of the work requested.  For example, you will specify the kind and style of the keepsake’s display base, the pose to be set, and so on.

3. Along with the signature of the Estate Executor, or other individual who has full, legal authority to direct us, a 50% Deposit is payable.  (We MUST have both the signed Service Contract, and General Written Directions as mentioned in paragraph 1, above, BEFORE we can begin any work.   The Deposit is payable no later than 30 days after our receipt of the signed Contract, and of our receipt of the actual subject genital specimen.)  The total fee for Plastination Services is $2,400 (US).   The Deposit which is payable up-front is therefore $1,200 (US).   The balance needs to be paid upon or before the completion of work.

4. The genitals, i.e.: the entire penis (preferably, including the root and “bulb”, which are the internal parts attached to the body), testicles, scrotum - and, if you prefer, the pubic scalp - are harvested as quickly as possible after death.  Excess blood should be immediately worked and rinsed out of the penis and testicles, and the anatomical specimen placed into a heavy-gauge plastic bag.  A safe preservative called “Formalin” is injected and/or poured over the genitals in the bag, and the bag sealed and placed in a heavy Rubbermaid container, which is then placed inside a heavy cardboard container, along with dry ice.  (A local medical professional or someone from the funeral home can perform this service.) The cardboard container is sealed, a shipping label applied, and the package is sent to us by overnight air.  

5. We will call you and confirm the arrival of the [red]package[/red]. [rofl2]

6. Upon arrival of the package, the plastic bag containing the genitals is removed, the genitals rinsed and inspected again.  We will then begin the preservation and plastination process.  First, more Formalin is injected into the specimen, then if possible, the penis is engorged with Formalin and an attempt is made to erect it to the degree the Executor has requested in the Service Contract.   After a week of “fixing” the genitals with a steady flow of Formalin, which serves to further preserve and protect them, the chemical process of actual plastination begins, which lasts anywhere from 60 to 120 days.

7. When plastination is fully complete, [red]the genitals are set on a stone or hardwood base, and posed for shelf or wall display (vertical or horizontal pose)[/red]. [:O]   The “Intimate Mementos” are given one last inspection, then carefully packaged and shipped.  Final payment of the remaining balance is due at this time.

8. We would appreciate you notifying us of the safe arrival of your INTIMATE MEMENTO.  By this time, we will have invested hundreds of hours of careful, compassionate, meticulous work into them, and we want to know that you are satisfied!  We would like you to be as proud of your INTIMATE MEMENTO as we are!  We also would very much like to hear from you again in the future, as we would like to stay in touch with our growing “family” of INTIMATE MEMENTOS, and their new homes!

Who'd want that on the mantle?

[LOL]

The resulting Intimate Memento  is sterile, non-toxic, very durable, and safe to handle and display as you see fit.
