Funeral Webcasting

The loss of a loved one or friend is a difficult and stressful time. A funeral service allows a mourner a sense of closure and it enables them to honor and celebrate the deceased's life. It is a special and sacred event for all survivors. Unfortunately, many bereaved are not able to attend a funeral or memorial service due to health issues, the shear distance from the funeral service, or the high cost of travel.

Today, the latest funeral technology offers friends and family members access to these special events regardless of their circumstances or their location. Through funeral webcasting, the bereaved can view a memorial at anytime, anywhere in the world, in the privacy of their own home.

Funeral webcasting enables family and friends to take part in their loved one's funeral or memorial service despite illness, finances, or distance. It gives mourners who can't travel the opportunity to watch the service live, just like they were there or watch it later at their convenience.

Recently improved technologies, less expensive broadband, and deployments of the military to Afghanistan and Iraq have all lead to an increase in the use of webcasting. Now survivors who cannot attend a service in person are not just limited to sending sympathy cards and funeral flowers, they too can have closure.

Frazer Consultants' world-renowned Tribute Center software enables funeral homes to offer funeral webcasting using a simple video package including, HD camera, tripod, wireless microphone and USB video capture device. With no long term contract, no upfront costs, no equipment to buy, and no support fees, Frazer Consultants pay-as-you-go system is an ideal solution.

What Funeral Webcasting Could Have Done For My Family

Growing up as part of a large, tight knit family, we were always there for each of life's special occasions. Whether it was a birthday, a graduation, wedding, or funeral, the family came together to celebrate, reminisce and laugh. It's what got us through good times and bad.


As an adult, I find my family fractured. Not in a family fight or disturbing way, but just broken up over the shear distance we now live from each other. Gone are the weekends at the lake in Pennsylvania, the family reunions down the Jersey Shore and the convergence on a banquet facility for a special event.

The main interactions we have now are virtual. My close knit family is now my virtual one. The cousins with which I skipped rocks with on the lake, threw Frisbees with on the beach, and drank root beer straight from the keg and laughed and laughed and laughed again with -- are now avatars and text messages.

In many ways having a virtual family is definitely better than losing touch. I still see the pictures from birthday parties, new additions to the family tree and will occasionally be reminded of an adventure my cousins and I had during our youth. Our chats are sometimes reduced to 140 characters, but sometimes that's part of the fun.

Several years ago, when I heard my favorite Aunt had only hours to live, I booked a flight home. I didn't make it in time, but I was there with the rest of my family for her funeral and it was beautiful. The church was packed. My Uncle delivered her eulogy. There wasn't a dry eye in the building.

What was missing though, was my Father, her only brother. Having been ill for quite some time he didn't have the strength to attend. The flight home, the long drive to the country and the stress of the funeral would have been too much for him to bear. So, as we sat together as a family in a small country church in Northeastern Pennsylvania, my Dad sat at home in Florida -- alone with his memories of his sister.

Had funeral webcasting been available, my Dad would have been able to say good-bye. He would have been able to see our family together and had been a part of that special day. He would have loved the eulogy as it was filled with special memories and funny stories.

I think missing the funeral was something that weighed heavily on him. He often would say with regret that he wished he wasn't confined to the house and could have been there. I wished he had too. The family needed him and he needed us.

The best place on the web to learn more about funeral webcasting is Frazer Consultants. This company has a solid reputation of developing high performing and reliable technology for the deathcare industry. They also have a beautiful selection of funeral keepsakes and holiday remembrance ornaments.

Waunakee, WI., November 16, 2010

My Father Was Unique, Shouldn't His Funeral Stationery Be Too?

Being raised in the Northeast as part of a large Irish family, the number of relatives I had always astounded my friends. By relatives, I don't just mean people that shared my last name or ones that could be plotted out on a family tree. I had a significant amount of closely related relatives. Here's what I mean, my Mother had one-hundred and thirteen first cousins. Her parents had many brothers and sisters. My Grandmother was one of thirteen and my Grandfather was one of seventeen. My sister and I, in comparison, only had a few first cousins, just eleven.


Overall, our family was huge but we were close, in proximity and in our personal relationships. My relatives held reunions almost yearly and there were several more times during the year we'd all gather, mainly for funerals.

Over the years I began to collect mementos, pieces of funeral stationery, from the funeral services, and there were many. My Grandparents', as well as their brothers and sisters were reaching their 80s. For what seemed like my entire teenage years, my family seemed to be gathering for nothing but wakes.

Now, as an adult, I have this collection of funeral stationery --basically, a box of family history. From prayer cards to memorial folders and bookmarks, I have it all. But, what's odd is how much of it looks alike. Sorting through the box recently, I noticed three or four common themes, obviously preprinted, stock paper with a relatives name, birth date, death date, a verse and sometimes the date of the service. These printed pieces of stationery are not personal, they are cookie-cutter designs.

My own Father's prayer card is among the stack. In 2008, when our funeral director showed us the selection of funeral stationery, my Mother, sister and I, truthfully weren't thrilled at the selection, but what could we do? We had to have them, so we selected a version with seagulls on the front with the words, "Going Home..." It wasn't because of my Dad's fondness for birds, the ocean, or because he considered dying, "Going Home". It was basically the best of the worst, although we wouldn't admit it at the time. Had our funeral director given us a larger choice of themes, this one wouldn't have been looked at twice.

What would my Dad have wanted? Truthfully, he probably wouldn't have cared. But, my Mother, sister and I cared and wanted to have the most personal funeral and mementos possible. We wanted to celebrate his life. He was unique, he had special interests like coins and history, golf and amateur radio. If only our funeral director had something more personal, my Father's prayer card wouldn't be just another piece of paper in the stack.

Frazer Consultants offers a complete, fast and easy solution to personalized stationery. With access to over 450 predesigned and preformatted design layouts, Frazer offers a high level of personalization to funeral home client families'. Templates for virtually every interest, hobby, occupation, and religious background are included in the Tribute Center software.

Unique Engagement Rings From Hair

An engagement ring symbolizes a couples unique relationship and commitment to each other. New technology allows for the creation of the most personal and unique diamond engagement ring by using locks of hair from the bride and groom.

Many couples prefer unique engagement rings because they are considered the best representation of the couple and their new life together. Gone from the norm are the plain bands and colorless solitary settings. Brides and grooms are moving towards non-conventional settings, cuts and even colors.

In light of this evolving trend, a scientific process that has been around since the fifties is coming to the forefront. This particular process can provide a really unique way to create a diamond that could forever change engagement diamonds. Using this methodology, not only can scientists create genuine diamonds up to two carats in size in a laboratory setting, but they can also alter the chemical composition to be able to create gems in almost any color. And finally, but possibly the most unique factor is that the diamond that is the result of this process originates from hair.

To start the process, when the bride and groom each get a haircut, they can send the trimmings to a diamond creation laboratory. The sample will then placed under high temperatures and high heat, replicating the natural growth cycle of an earth mined diamond. The only difference is the source of carbon. In nature, the carbon is taken from the earth, in a man made custom diamond lab, it's taken from the personal carbon source.

These hair diamonds can be grown to the engaged couple's exact specifications of color and size. When the growth phase is complete, the diamond can be cut, polished and mounted in a setting according to the couple's wishes.

In approximately 70 days, depending on the carat size desired, the hair has been completely converted to a genuine, flawless diamond. No two will be alike because they contain the essence of a couples love, together forever in a precious stone.

With the ability to create a diamond from hair, a whole new level of personalization has opened up affording couples the most unique of engagement rings.

Fancy Colored Diamond Engagement Rings

As non-conventional engagement rings are becoming the norm, technology is helping couples create the diamonds of their dreams. Read how scientific breakthroughs can have wonderful side effects, including the development of fancy colored diamond engagement rings.


Historically, a groom wishing to present his bride the diamond of her dreams, mainly concentrated on the size of the stone. In some instances, he may have had some diamond education and learn about cuts and clarity. However, more frequent than not, the diamonds being purchased were colorless white ones.

As more non-traditional couples are now selecting rings together, new trends are emerging. Couples are moving away from conventional settings, cuts and even colors. The freedom of creating their own personal diamond allows even greater possibilities of individuality.

Trends are emerging that with brides being able to provide input regarding their diamond engagement ring, they are selecting non-traditional, fancy colored diamonds more frequently. Unfortunately, the cost for these colored diamonds can rival their beauty.

Fortunately, a scientific process that has been around since the fifties can provide a couple the colored diamond of their dreams for a more affordable price. Using this methodology, not only can scientists create genuine diamonds up to two carats in size in a laboratory setting, but they can also alter the chemical composition to be able to create gems in almost any color - blue, red, cognac, yellow-green and even white.

Another interesting component of the technology is that scientists can use a personal carbon source, such as hair, in the growth process of the diamond. In nature when a diamond is created, the carbon is pulled from the earth. But, these clever scientists have found a way to really personalize these man made diamonds even further. Brides and grooms go off and get a hair cut and then send in the clippings to use in the high heat, high pressure process.

In seventy days or less, not only will these fancy colored diamonds be a symbol of a couples unique style because they will be customized according to their exact wishes of color, cut and size. But, the diamond that they will have created for them will forever contain their personal essence as well.

Who says scientists aren't romantic?

How Funeral Stationery Has Changed

New funeral technology affords relief to deathcare professional allowing them to offer a high level of personalization with easy to use software and a low cost print on-demand program.


Funeral stationery is evolving. With new technology advances, personalized funeral stationery has made huge strides. Deathcare professionals now have the ability to offer client families almost an unlimited selection for a truly personalized and complete set of funeral stationery. This new technology has eased the worries of cost, inventory concerns, difficulty of production and timeliness for funeral homes as well.

Traditionally, a funeral home would purchase pre-printed paper for the stationery. A funeral home may have only had a few options for families to choose because of the cost to stock and inventory each design and each individual item. Re-orders had to be managed and timed perfectly so as not to run out of a particular item. To add to the issue, suppliers required minimum orders, which meant large, expensive outlays. Managing the inventory, repetitively inputting the deceased's information for each piece of stationery, and controlling costs consumed large blocks of time.

The pre-historic days of funeral stationery are gone for good. Today, funeral stationery can be quickly and easily printed on-demand from blank, perforated stock using software driven templates. Now, client families are able to choose from a wide variety of personalization options and funeral homes no longer need to inventory pre-printed stock. Everything needed from register book pages, memorial folders, prayer cards, acknowledgements, bookmarks, signs, dvd packaging, and even candles can all be printed in this manner.

Not only does the new funeral software include over 450 predesigned and preformatted design layouts, the software is also compatible with certain funeral home management software, such as SRS Computing. Therefore, funeral home client families' receive a high level of personalization with templates for virtually every interest, hobby, occupation, and religious background included. Funeral homes are able to input the deceased's information one time and the stationery software does the rest.

Using the funeral homes own printing equipment, or a fixed low cost-per-page program, this print-on-demand stationery, is specifically an attractive feature not locking a funeral home into printing a particular sum if it isn't necessary. With this type of specialized software, a funeral home can print only what's needed, when it's needed and know the result will be the most professional, low cost, and fully customized funeral printing available.

Funeral stationery, has always been an important facet of the funeral service. The stationery not only serves as a keepsake for those who were present at the service, it also allows funeral home client families' to better honor, celebrate, remember, and tell the life story.

Personalized funeral stationery allows families to better honor, celebrate, remember, and tell a loved ones life story.


Funeral stationery, no matter what form it is in, is an important facet of the funeral service. The stationery not only serves as a keepsake for those who were present at the service, it also allows funeral home client families' to better honor, celebrate, remember, and tell the life story.

Funeral stationery is not what it used to be. Traditionally, a funeral home would purchase pre-printed paper for the stationery which meant stocking inventory of each design and each individual item. In many instances, to control costs or because of a supplier policy, deathcare professionals would need to order a minimum number of each item. The expense to house and maintain this inventory meant the number of selections were limited. A funeral home may have only had two or three options from which families could choose.

Today, because of technology advances, deathcare professionals and client families not only have a vast assortment of personalization options to choose from, but there's also no need to inventory pre-printed stock. Funeral stationery can now be printed on demand from blank, perforated stock using software driven layouts. Everything needed from register book pages, memorial folders, prayer cards, acknowledgements, bookmarks, signs, dvd packaging, and even candles can all be printed in this manner.

More deathcare professionals are choosing to use the faster and easier way of creating high quality, personalized funeral stationery through the use of these design layouts.

Funeral Web Design

Creating a funeral home website design that is simple, intuitive, and interactive will set you apart from the competitor down the street.

Partnering with a professional company that has experience with funeral home websites is key to creating a website design that is sharp in appearance, yet easy for client families to navigate. Using an industry specific company that solely concentrates on the funeral industry can provide a high quality product that has been tested by hundreds of others.

The basic components that are a must in every funeral home website are:

• Obituaries
• Online Video Tributes
• Online Pre-Arrangement Form
• Online Guest Book
• Contact Page
• Resource Page
• Social Media Integration

Enhancing a website with other interactive options such as memorial, visitation, service and cemetery information is also a good idea. The more online information a funeral home can provide to families and friends of the deceased, the better.

Other features some funeral homes are selecting are:
• Single or Album Photo Upload
• Pre-Planning Module
• Obituary Notification System
• Virtual Showroom
• Online Guest Book
• Pre-Planning Information
• Content Management System
• Community Events Calendar
• Map and Directions
• Contact Form

Selecting the most fitting modules for your website will greatly impact the overall design of the funeral homes website; however, it's extremely important to find a total solutions provider. Not only should a funeral home website design company create a great website, but they should also be able to register a domain, set up email, ensure search engine submission and optimization and provide statistical reports.
