Arlington, VT, May 29, 2012 -  Holyland Ash Scattering was started in response to the public’s desire to have their sacred earthly remains scattered to the four winds. The company has now made it possible for funeral homes to profit by offering professional scattering services. A new website www.holylandashscattering.com will help guide and educate families. Funeral Directors struggling with declining revenues due to the rise of cremation, now have a unique opportunity to help those that they serve by offering a very  special scattering service. Holyland Ash Scattering has developed a private memorial scattering garden in the Holyland. They will take care of all of the details to arrange safe and secure shipping of the ashes to their office in Israel. The ashes will then be scattered in the most spiritual place in the world. Overlooking the Sea of Galilee, in the hills where Jesus lived and taught, their private memorial garden is a sacred place for a secure, final disposition for all time. To further commemorate the sacred scattering ceremony, the company professionally videotapes and preserves this event on DVD as well as a You Tube download, to give  your client families added piece of mind,  and as keepsake to watch and share with friends and family. A handsome framed certificate of scattering is also included as an heirloom gift from your funeral home.

• Cremation is increasing at an alarming rate, reducing funeral service revenues. Partnering with Holyland Ash Scattering is one way to help reclaim some of your lost revenue while distinguishing your funeral home and your product offerings.
• Many families are choosing cremation and more than half of them are considering scattering. You can assist them in providing a professional scattering service that will make the event more meaningful and spiritual, while taking away the burden of trying to figure out the perfect sendoff.
• Baby Boomers are seeking new and innovative ways to memorialize their lives and passing. They have already embraced scattering as their preferred choice. Now you can offer them the option of being returned to the earth in this special place that marks the birth of civilization.

Our Memorial Scattering Garden

Ash Scattering Society LLC has over twenty years experience working in the funeral service industry. We understand the shrinking margins that funeral home’s face today. We know today’s client families demand up to date options. General Manager Jeff Staab say’s we have developed this service based on 3 core principles:

1. 1. Comfort: Funeral Directors can provide added comfort to their client families by offering the best possible option for scattering their loved one’s ashes, utilizing the most professional and caring people to perform the service.
2. 2. Confidence: Often client families are not comfortable handling the scattering of ashes. Plagued by the desire to do it right and not knowing the options is the main reason so many put it off indefinitely. As a result the liability of storing ashes often falls on the funeral home. Offering a professional service will help give families the confidence they need, knowing they made the best choice.
3. 3. Closure: Making the choice to use a professional scattering service and returning their loved ones to their spiritual roots will provide the much needed closure for client families. Eliminating the need for second guessing and guilt about doing the right thing is a gift that Funeral Directors can give their client families.

The Process:

• Holy Land Ash Scattering  partners with Funeral Directors in offering the best scattering options to their client families and compensates them well for their recommendation.
• Holy Land Ash Scattering takes care of shipping the ashes and then performs a dignified scattering ceremony in our own private memorial park in the hills overlooking the Sea of Galilee; an area rich in history & spirituality.
• Holy Land Ash Scattering will also assist in decreasing funeral home’s inventories of ashes. The families you have served in the past can now be given an option. Remove your funeral home from the liability of storing ashes indefinitely. Even if they do not choose our service, you have opened the door to discuss other options and hopefully get them out from under your roof!.

Who We Are:

• Ash Scattering Society LLC is the industry leader in Ash Scattering worldwide. They are the most trusted, professional and experienced service provider in the funeral service industry.
• They use  proven marketing strategies and apply them to funeral service for an optimal outcome. They make it easy for funeral professionals and supply all the needed professional marketing materials and documents to offer their services. Services are very affordable to client families and provide a new and needed stream of revenue to Funeral Directors.
• Their first brand is the Holyland. This was the obvious first choice due to the high percentage of the Christian market who embrace this sacred location. They will be launching other unique brands/locations, utilizing both sea and sky scattering services. Future brands will include sports venues, golf courses and women centric locations. All brands will be professionally managed with a focus on quality, integrity and trust.

Providing client families with cremation choices is what you do. Partnering with Ash Scattering Society LLC gives you the ability to offer families the best scattering option available.

Funeral Software Enhances Prayer Cards

Prayer cards were once a standard, one-size-fits-all item.  A name and some dates were all the personalization available.  Today, prayer cards have become much more. With funeral software for funeral professionals, more personalization, means the can now truly be meaningful keepsakes. 

Whether you call them "prayer cards" or "memorial cards" or some other term, these small cards that are imprinted with your loved one's birth and death dates, along with other elements that you choose, are beautiful mementos.

Prayer cards were once imprinted with a prayer and a sacred picture, and personalized by adding a name and date of death.  Choices were very limited and, although the cards might have been beautiful, they were all much the same. 

Today, with funeral software that allows a funeral director to add personalization, a prayer card can be imprinted with text, a photo of the deceased, prose, or poetry.  The selection is only limited by the imagination. 

Now a prayer card really can become a very fitting keepsake for mourners to carry away from a viewing or funeral service.  It's the personalization that makes the difference.

This new funeral software also enables a family to select a theme that can be used throughout their funeral stationery selection.  Available are themes to match every hobby, occupation, interest and religious affiliation. Along with the choices of photos and text, the funeral director can embellish prayer cards with a variety of fonts and other design elements, in colors that complement other funeral stationery or that stand alone.  This unique theme selection isn't available with all types of funeral software, only the best funeral technology companies have a wide selection range - so be sure to be on the lookout for that!

Adding a personal favorite quote, a photograph of a loved one and coordinating the theme of the entire line of funeral stationery, today's funeral software allows for visually-pleasing placement of the elements used for the prayer cards.  Center a photo or artwork, and arrange the text around it in a flowing, circular pattern.  Choose several photos and place them at the top and bottom, with text in the center of the card.  Print both sides of the card, with a sacred picture on one side and text with a photo of your loved one on the other. Again, the possibilities are only limited by the imagination.

Imagine the impact of such a personalized prayer card printed with a child's face and poem, or a card bearing a photo of a loved one above her favorite prayer or sacred text.  Whether the prose or poetry derives from a specific religion, or is non-specific yet spiritual, a personalized prayer card is a beautiful, uplifting tribute to a life.

Truly personal and meaningful, such prayer cards will be treasured and reread, cherished by those who receive them and who remember the life they represent.

Creating Meaningful Funeral Stationery

Today's funeral stationery items are highly personal.  Take advantage of this growing trend and give your clients the special, meaningful products they want.

Funeral stationery is one of the ways in which a funeral home can add a special touch to a family's experience.   With funeral software programs that allow you to add themes, scanned photos, images, and text, you can create unique and personal items such as funeral register books, prayer cards, memorial folders and even keepsakes.

You clients can choose one photo to be printed on all of their stationery items, or they may decide to use a different photo, or even multiple photos, for one item.  Possibilities for design are limitless with hundreds of themes to choose from.  But, online theme views make it easy for families to make a selection in the comfort of their own home.  Once they've made their selection, they give you a call and you can quickly and easily create more meaningful funeral stationery in-house.

Types of Funeral Stationery Available for Personalization

Funeral register books tell visitors that their presence will be noted. A register book that has been assembled with attention to every page, featuring photos, quotations, poetry, prose or sacred text, gives the impression that the book will be looked at repeatedly. A visitor who signs such a book will no doubt feel that his name will be viewed repeatedly, as well.

Insert a different photo for each page and, accompanied by a quotation or line of sacred text, the book becomes a unique representation of the person who has passed away.  Visitors may spend time browsing through the book, taking comfort in the images and messages it contains. 

Prayer cards, when printed on both sides, can create a large impact in a small space.   Photos of the deceased, accompanied by prayers, sacred text and poetry, can be arranged in a variety of ways to create a visually-pleasing and meaningful keepsake.  Bookmarks can also be created using advanced funeral software.  These are a practical and useful gift for mourners to take away with them.

Memorial folders can also be personalized with photos, images and text.  Although more secular in nature than prayer cards, they serve a similar purpose.  They carry a message representing the character or outlook of the deceased, and can be used as mementos for distribution to mourners.

A funeral service program or memorial service program lists the main event of the funeral service itself.  These programs feature a front and back cover, along with several inner pages.  The front cover may feature a photo of your loved one, along with the date, time and location of the funeral service, while the back cover may contain a poem, quotation, or prayer, as well as a personal message from the family.  Inside the elements of the service are listed.

All of these funeral stationery items can employ a theme that ties them together visually, such as an occupation or hobby.  However you choose to create them, they are very personal mementos for every person who receives them. 

Frazer Consultants primary products and services include interactive funeral home website design, funeral tribute video software, funeral webcasting, funeral candles, funeral keepsakes, funeral register books, personalized funeral stationery, temporary grave markers and funeral holiday remembrance ornaments.  For more information, please visit http://www.frazerconsultants.com or call 866-372-9372.

Video Tributes Honor the Deceased and Comfort the Grieving

The photographs taken of a person over a lifetime can provide a heartwarming pictorial biography and are often displayed during viewing and funeral services.

A video tribute offers the same visual experience and so much more. Set to the family's choice of music and imagery, DVD video tributes tell the story of a departed loved on in an elegant presentation that celebrates an ended life and comforts those left behind.

Beholding images of a beloved family member or friend has been proven to have pain-reducing effects. In much the same way, the display of photographs of a recently deceased love one during viewing and/or funeral services provides comfort to grieving friends as they share memories to celebrate the life of the departed. A DVD video tribute complete transforms this experience with an individualized and moving presentation that can be reproduced for anyone whose life was touched by the deceased.

Using the video tribute software is simple and funeral home professionals will find it easy to make world class videos for grateful client families. There are just 3 steps in the entire process: import, edit and burn the DVD. In fact, the most difficult step may be collecting photos from families who request a video tribute yet are overwrought with grief and slow to collect the content.

At this point in the process, client families will need to make the music selection, choosing their own or using one of many funeral songs and instrumental tunes available through an online library. The scenic background, or theme, is selected with hundreds to choose from. The theme selected will set the tone for all of the funeral stationery as well as the tribute video. The DVD video tribute is not only limited to photographs, but can include video clips as well. The family can provide home movies or a tribute video clip can be selected from another online library that houses more than a hundred of clips from moving waterfalls, flowers, sunrises and sunsets, farming and forests, to name a few.

Once the video and static images are provided by the client families, the high speed scanning technology will allow your funeral home to scan one photo every two seconds. Import the files and begin editing, which is far less daunting than it sounds. You can easily add professional motion effects and arrange them so each image comes to life. The video tribute software automatically sets transitions and syncs music. Now the DVD is burned and the file can be uploaded to the funeral homes website.

Just as each life is unique, each video tribute uniquely pays homage in a beautiful presentation that is easy to create and duplicate.
