Mark Smith of McAlister-Smith had this to say about Frazer Consultants and Tribute Center, ”Part of our process at McAlister-Smith for evaluating whether we wanted to change our memorial personalized stationery items that we were using was certainly looking at the profit margin on those items. We did have certain benchmarks on those margins that we needed to achieve and yet we wanted to make sure the end result was a quality product at a reasonable price for the consumer so that we were passing on that value to the consumer. With our due diligence that we did with evaluating the products and services that we were using compared to those that Frazer Consultants brought to the table, at the end of the day McAlister-Smith felt there was much more value that we could get the end user, that being the customer, a highly customized product, unique and fitting to their loved one that they were remembering and allowing us to achieve the margin that we needed to achieve with those products and offerings thus making it a triple win, great for Frazer Consultants, great for McAlister-Smith, but most importantly great for the customer.”

“I love, love the library of stylized scriptures and poems because I can virtually find everything there and if I can’t find it, all I have to do is pick up the phone and they’ll make it for me, and you can’t ask for much more than that.

The first funeral we used it on was huge. It was the former Corner of one of the counties we served, a beloved gentleman and we knew we were going to have an enormous turnout. And, he was very special to us because he was a dear friend of ours as well as someone we did business with so it meant a lot to us to make all of the products, the tri-fold, the thank you notes, the video as poignant and as meaningful as we could.

I had a dual role that night because I had prepared everything, and then I was in the room kind of walking through the room greeting people. At one point I was I was standing watching the video and there was a lady next to me, she had the tri-fold out and she was looking at the TV and looking at the tri-fold. She didn’t know who I was. She didn’t know I was on staff. And she looked up at me and looked back down and said, ‘I just can’t believe how special this is.’I shared that with the whole staff because it was just - it still gives me goose bumps. She was just so touched. That’s what made it really special for us.”

Every day, thousands of funeral home professionals rely on Frazer Consultant's Tribute Center, here’s what one customer had to say:

Gail Swan of Maclean Funeral Home had this to say about Frazer Consultants, “Our daily operations are to serve the families who put their trust in our funeral homes to care for their deceased loved ones. Our relationship with Frazer Consultants started back five years ago. We were purchasing his memorial keepsakes angels. Our families just love them. We have been using them ever since.

We’ve had many people call us who have heard about these angels that we haven’t even served and asked if we’d be willing to give them one or sell them one. Well, of course, we give them one because these angels do what they’re supposed to do – they bring a little peace to a troubled heart.

I think the angels that we’ve purchased from Matthew and the memorial booklet in the tribute center is just a wonderful, wonderful way to give to a family a package that is so meaningful to them and it helps to ease a bit of pain at a time when they need that.

We have recently, this spring purchased his memorial booklet packages, we only bought a small supply - we started off small just to see how our community would accept them. Our families are really, truly blown away. Recently we served a family and they came back to us and they said, we couldn’t image we’d receive such a beautiful package all together and there are so many formats and so many different choices to choose from for the individual deceased persons. So, we are looking forward to a very lengthy relationship with Frazer consultants.

I would recommend doing business with Matthew and Frazer Consultants because they make it so easy and they provide such wonderful products to serve your families with.”

That they would always be fresh that I wouldn’t discover that I had over ordered on something that nobody else was ever going to use. What sold me was the type of things our administrative assistants, the people in the trenches, face everyday.”
