Why should you have a web site?

At lightning speed, the funeral home industry is embracing new technology and reaping the benefits of expanding into the online world.

From e-mail to information gathering the computer has become one of society's most used methods of communicating. And its use continues to grow exponentially.

Today, the funeral home without a web site may well find itself outpaced in the search for new business, and even in trying to maintain the customer base they have traditionally had for generations.

Here are a few of the reasons:
  1. Online obituaries provide your community with ease of access to valuable information, such as, visitation and service times and interment locations. This is beneficial since you don't have to spend your time repeatedly answering those questions by phone.
  2. Online obituaries can be retained until you decide to remove them.
  3. You can market monuments and other merchandise on your site.
  4. You can explain life or burial insurance policies that you offer.
  5. Prearrangement information can be gathered online. Funeral details can be carefully arranged so that they are exactly what the deceased would have wanted. And that removes a burden from the survivors.
  6. Benefits from paying funeral expenses in advance can be explained on your web site in a friendly, easy-to-understand format.
  7. A page describing the history of your funeral home, plus photos, can be part of your web site.
  8. Your staff and their credentials can be introduced to the community.
  9. Domain names, such as www.yourfuneralhome.com, have become a standard part of a progressive business's address.
  10. In addition to the benefits above, a web site could be your cheapest and farthest-reaching advertising.

What we do:

First, we will ask for your input to help us understand the mission of your funeral home.
Then, in our partnership effort to make your web site something you will be proud of, we will ask your participation throughout your site's development.

A professional copywriter — collaborating with you — will write your text so that your web site says exactly what you want.

And a professional graphic artist will do your layout work.

We provide a Hosting Service for your site at a very reasonable cost.

What we don't do:

We do not create your web site from templates. Working with you, we will make your web site unique and memorable. And we will help you pick an appropriate domain name and see that it is registered as yours.

Reflections

Advertising is a great expense to any business. That cost makes it imperative that you seek the highest return possible on your investment dollar. No other advertising medium has the breadth of exposure that your web site will have.

We look forward to working with you during the creation of a powerful new asset for your funeral home — and for your community.
