Funeral Webcasting Connects Families Across the Miles

From elderly, immobile relatives to brothers and sisters serving overseas, funeral webcasting provides a much needed and unique experience for the bereaved.  Hosting an online funeral gives your client families the ability to be at a funeral service, even when it’s not physically possible to be there in person.

The loss of a loved one or friend is a difficult and stressful time. A funeral service allows the 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 work related or health issues, the shear distance from the funeral service, military service overseas, or the high cost of travel.

Funeral webcasting has enabled many people to participate in services that in bygone ages, they would have had to miss.  With a few simple pieces of equipment – a tripod, wireless microphone, USB video capture device, an HD camera and funeral webcasting software, your funeral home can offer this value added service to your client families. 

Webcasting capabilities include both live and delayed streaming.  If a family member or friend is unable to watch the online funeral at the exact time of the service, he or she can choose to watch it at a time and place that’s convenient for them.  The online funeral will be password protected so it’s not an event open to the public, but invited guests have the ability see the other guests, listen to the entire service and say their good-byes to their loved one.

As a funeral professional, your job is ever growing and demanding.  Learning and using new technology can be frustrating; however, funeral webcasting software companies can provide help twenty-four hours a day from set up, to launching the webcast itself and even saving and burning the recorded service to a DVD.  This exceptional technical service can assistant you no matter what level of computer, internet and video equipment knowledge you may have.  You never need to feel alone or nervous when you are about to launch a webcast.

Print Customized Funeral Stationery On-Demand

If you’re like most funeral directors, you’ve known the frustration of using pre-printed funeral stationery.  Re-orders need to be managed and timed perfectly so that you wouldn’t run out of a particular selection.   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.  What a nightmare!

A better option is print on-demand funeral stationery.  With funeral stationery software, a funeral professional has the ability to use blank stock and create a completely customized, complete line of funeral stationery.  Simply select which type of stationery to be printed, choose a theme from the hundreds available, enter the appropriate information, and then enter the number you wish to print.

Hundreds of background themes are supplied on the software to reflect hobbies, professions, military or community service, and religious preferences.  Adding photographs, custom messages and obituaries completely personalize the funeral stationery.  Once designed and printed, each custom piece of funeral stationery is well coordinated with each other.  The theme carries through the entire service and can even be used as the background for a DVD video tribute, intro and ending of a funeral webcast and on a funeral keepsake, such as a funeral candle.

With print on-demand funeral stationery software, you can also print the exact number of prayer cards, or funeral programs needed.  If more guests arrive at the memorial service than planned for, printing a few extra funeral programs or other funeral stationery is no problem at all.  Just open the funeral stationery software program put the blank paper in the printer and hit the print button.  Print on-demand gives the funeral director total control.

In today’s world, it’s critical to provide your client families with the latest options available in terms of technology and services.  Families have other choices for where they purchase their funeral stationery; some even decide to do it themselves.  By providing them with a highly customized and complete funeral stationery package at an affordable price – their decision is easier and they are more pleased with the service you offer.

Online Funerals for Those Who Cannot Attend a Funeral Service

Online funerals are a perfect way to allow friends and family members who cannot attend a funeral service to feel that they are a part of the life celebration.  They also can help alleviate any feelings of guilt for simply not being at the funeral.  Likewise, client families gain a sense of relief knowing that all those who loved the deceased are able to join in and witness the last event to be held for the loved one who has slipped into death.

There are many reasons that can impede someone from being able to attend a funeral service for a loved one.  Military personnel deployed overseas, work commitments that cannot be changed, weddings and other long planned events are just a few of the numerous explanations that prevent funeral attendance. 

Being unable to be present for a loved one’s final sendoff can have deleterious consequences for both the absent mourner as well as the bereaved family.  Deep feelings of guilt and regret can trouble the person who can’t attend. Feelings of anger and resentment, along with a feeling that the departed was not cared for can trouble the client family.  However, with amazing technology that broadcasts an online funeral across the globe, everyone the family designates can attend a funeral online.

In order for you to offer this service to your community, you will of course need funeral software that allows you to manage this process.  With a simple video package which includes a tripod, HD camera, wireless microphone and a USB capture device you can be up and running in a matter of minutes.

In addition to being a convenient offering in its own right, the best funeral webcasting software includes live and delayed streaming capabilities.  This feature enables the viewer to attend the funeral service live, or enable them to watch it later at a more suitable time.  Global distribution that includes many servers that simultaneously stream the event ensure that it can be viewed from almost anywhere the internet reaches. 

When you think about it, there seems to be no good reason to prevent you from supplying this service.  Why risk losing potential business when the funeral home down the street begins to offer the latest technology?  After all, an online funeral benefits everyone – you and your funeral home, the friends and family who cannot attend, as well as the family who is sending off their loved one.

Personalized Temporary Grave Markers Can Have a Permanent Impact on Your Business

No longer do you have to install impersonal and unattractive temporary grave markers.  A new funeral product serves its intended purpose while having long-lasting value to your client families and your future business.

With new options in temporary grave markers, you now have a much better product to offer to your client families.  The functional yet unattractive temporary grave markers of the past are no longer necessary as a new, fully customizable choice is available to you. 

Since many deaths are unexpected, there is no time to plan for the production of a permanent headstone.  Even for those who die as a result of extended illness, the hopeful nature of humans often delays the real planning necessary to order a headstone until the very end.  For this reason, temporary grave markers have historically been necessary for cemetery workers as well as family members to identify a gravesite.  Impersonal and utilitarian temporary grave markers have net this need, but with funeral software that allows personalization of many funeral products, even temporary grave markers can reveal the nature of the departed. 

A removable photo frame forms the basis for this funeral product and once a permanent grave marker has been installed, can be kept by the family as a keepsake.  There are over 500 themes to choose from to represent the deceased’s interests in life and by adding a photo and verbiage selected by the family, a keepsake is created. 

With easy to follow templates you simply choose a theme befitting any occupation, hobby or interest, drag and drop a photo into the identified area and copy and paste a prayer, poem or obituary.  Then print, tear along the perforated edges and laminate with the provided laminated pouches.  Insert into the acrylic frame and attach to a reusable metal stake.

Such minimal effort yields great rewards in terms of a completely customized funeral product that has long lasting value.  For the client family, a loved one’s grave is marked by an item that will touch them as they are able to gaze upon a photo of their loved one.  Because the photo frame is so appealing, they will wish to keep it after the permanent grave marker is in place.  For your business, the availability of an attractive item that is rarely even thought of until death will increase your reputation as an all-inclusive, client-focused funeral home.

This patent pending product is just one of many funeral products that you can create yourself in-house with funeral software that allows you to personalize stationery, keepsakes, remembrance ornaments and more.  By applying a consistent theme to all items you can establish an individual tone for each client you serve.  This tone will be present at the service and among keepsakes and funeral stationery kept by client families for many years to come.  Each time the item is brought out, your business will be remembered with gratitude and as a result, more business will come your way.

How Funeral Software Has Changed the Funeral Industry

Funeral software has enabled the industry to give its client families the chance to remember their loved ones as they were in life – through unique, personalized funeral products.  This all-in-one software also gives the funeral professional the ability to create these products easily and in-house.  It’s a win-win for all.

Within the last decade, the funeral industry has been completely transformed with the invention of funeral software.  The changes are far reaching and have made a monumental impact on the feel and tone of funeral services.  The customization options available now through the use of funeral software gives the funeral professional the ability to hold a service that consists of a wide variety of items that are personalized to present the true nature of the life being mourned.

Most people believe that a funeral is an opportunity to provide connection with the deceased and these detached, common items hardly fulfilled that need.  With funeral software, you have the opportunity to customize not only stationery, but funeral webcasts, tribute videos, temporary grave markers and keepsakes. 

Consider the days of stock funeral stationery.  A limited number of generic designs were available to choose from and most registry books, prayer cards, memorial folders and programs were highly impersonal.  Now, from the moment a person enters the funeral or memorial service, the essence of the deceased is evident with a personalized funeral register book that contains photographs and favorite quotes or bible verses. 

Memorial folders and funeral programs also contain the same theme, different images and other quotes or sayings that were meaningful to the deceased. 

One of the most requested items, the DVD tribute video, provides a moving focal point that combines photographs, videos, and cherished hymns.  The same theme that has been used on the other funeral products can be selected and incorporated into the video tribute. The result is a completely personalized service that pays homage to the life of the one who has left us. 

Funeral webcasting, the ability to broadcast an online funeral throughout the world for those who can’t attend the service, is another groundbreaking achievement.  Imagine the grief of one overseas who can’t be physically present at the service.  With funeral webcasting software you have the capacity to allow them to participate, alleviating them of guilt and providing them with a sense of closure.

Funeral keepsakes such as candles, holiday remembrance ornaments and bookmarks all can be personalized with the same images and themes used on the other funeral products for the service. 
As with all industries, the funeral industry continues to grow and evolve.  Don’t get left behind by not embracing the technology that can transform funeral services and your business.

What Can Software do for the Funeral Industry?

Client families have been snapping pictures of their family and friends for decades.  More recently, almost everyone has access to some type of video recording device – for most; their phone is also their camera and camcorder.  The world is evolving and technology is readily available to everyone – including funeral directors. 

Advancements in technology span the globe and touch the lives of almost every conceivable industry, even the funeral industry.  Funeral software now enables families to connect in ways never thought possible, even in death.  Funeral webcasting makes this possible.  A funeral director, using a simple video set-up can broadcast a funeral or memorial service over the internet.  Guest can be invited to a password protected viewing should they not be able to attend in person.  The experience is amazing and the benefits to both client families and your funeral home are tremendous.

Another age-old funeral tradition is the poster board.  These too are being left behind as new technology to create DVD tribute videos takes their place.  Historically, the poster boards displayed photographs of the deceased and special family moments in happier times.  Created to evoke memories of the deceased and remind everyone of the place their loved one had in their lives, poster boards can’t do what a video tribute can.  A DVD tribute video is a moving tribute that combines pictures, videos, music and words to tell a loved one’s life story.  Tribute video software enables the funeral director to easily assemble these cinematic quality movies in-house.  The resulting videos are amazing – almost like watching the story of someone’s life unfolding before your eyes.

In addition to creating DVD tribute videos, funeral professionals can also utilize all-in-one funeral software for personalizing a full range of products from funeral stationery to funeral candles.  The software gives the funeral director the power to provide client families with professional quality items that are under the directors’ complete control from development to the presentation of the final product to the family. 

The funeral stationery software permits the funeral director to easily create and print custom items with a matching theme to add that personal touch.  The same theme can be used on all funeral products from the DVD tribute video holders, to guest register books, memorial bookmarks, the funeral webcast and even the thank-you cards.  No specialty pre-printed stationery is needed.  Using blank card stock for each item to be made, the custom funeral stationery can be created using the pre-formatted design templates in the software and then printed onto blank card stock from the funeral homes own printer.   With this flexibility, the funeral director can also print as many or as few as they wish.  Software of this kind includes over 500 themes to allow client families to choose an occupation, interest or hobby that exemplifies the life they’re honoring, making each item particularly meaningful.

Each day, thousands of funeral home professionals put their confidence in new technology and funeral software.  Isn’t it time you discovered the power of software built with the funeral professional in mind?

Personalized Funeral Stationery Software

Memories are kept alive by funeral stationery that is customized to represent the interests and pursuits one devoted their life to.  Personalization with funeral software will help funeral directors offer this special gift to their client families.

Appropriate funeral stationery recommendations can be difficult for the funeral home professional and making selections can be overwhelming for client families.  Historically, pieces have been chosen ad hoc with no consistent theme unifying them and little to no personalization for the families.  This leads to a variety of stationery pieces that do nothing to honor the deceased’s interests or unique personal attributes, creating an impersonal, sullen event.  However, with funeral stationery software that contains a large variety of templates, themes and easy to follow production instructions, funeral directors can now offer their client families the very best selection of stationery customized to best represent their loved ones.

Themes have been expected of weddings, baby and bridal showers, birthday parties and now the same can be said of funeral services.  If the deceased was a lifelong tennis player and known among all who knew him as a tennis enthusiast, why should that be left out of his funeral service?  A professional reporter who has travelled extensively to provide objective reporting on world events should certainly be remembered and honored for the commitment to that harrowing profession.  With funeral stationery software that allows for customization of all types of stationery, that is now possible.

From the moment a guest enters the funeral home and signs a personalized guest register to years after the service when lighting a funeral candle with the same theme, keeping all stationery items consistent will help recall the essence of the deceased.  Memorial folders, bi- and tri-fold programs and prayer cards customized with the departed’s most cherished hobby will always serve to remind those left behind of that person’s spirit and how he or she chose to spend life.

Continue the celebration of life after the service with matching acknowledgement cards and bookmarks reinforcing the same theme.  Tribute videos, most often shown at the service or family gathering afterwards, utilize the same theme and can be reproduced for distribution to a larger audience or uploaded to the web.  Each and every time a piece of stationery from that person’s funeral service is seen by friends and family, the true life spirit of the departed will be recalled. 
As funerals evolve from somber events to joyous celebrations of life, it only makes sense to offer funeral stationery that upholds this type of tribute.  Personalities are not remembered by stock cards with impersonal photos and minimal information.  They are remembered and kept alive when the items that they were sent off with are true representations of how they lived.
