I'd drop the emphasis on "*last*" look -- it's defeatist, and as prominent as
the site is, combined with "beancounterthink" (not to mention
"perezalldigitalkodakthink"), can *easily* be construed as a tacit go-sign
from "the customers."  ("Look!  They're already resigned to the loss!  
We're good to go!  Heck, they're already rolling out the Virtual Funeral
for the damn stuff!  We'd better kill that sucker ASAP before they change
their minds!")

Think about it.  This ain't even "Psychology 101" -- it's more like
"Introduction to orientation for 'Should I Consider Auditing a Mental
Health/Counseling Minor?' Three Week Program."

Since you're "rearchitecting" the site on an ongoing basis (to coin a
phrase) I would URGE you to change the basic premise -- from a "Worshipful
Funeral Dirge" to a "Plea for Clemency."

It ought to be fairly simple to use the same (photographic) material as
*proof* that the product SHOULD be kept alive (and beyond that, (*gasp*)
EXPANDED!  Let's see that Kodachrome 100 with the T-grain emulsion put into
production!  Or, let's see an annual run of K25, using one of their small
coating machines (the ones they use for test runs while working up a new
emulsion).
