Whether you like Howard Stern or not, it is great to see how Funeral Webcasting with funeralOne is making the news…

“Let’s say you can’t get to a funeral, but now you can participate. I like that.” – Howard Stern

That’s not all… As I’m writing this blog post, I’m receiving phone calls and messages that this story is currently being featured on: Imus, ABC, Fox, and as you now know… Mr. Howard Stern…

I just put this video together to show everybody how easy it is to start offering funeral webcasts to your client families.

What to look for in a webcasting provider
1. Make sure they’ve been around for at least 3 years. You don’t want worry about disappointing a family by finding out your provider is out of business.
2. With technology being the way it is, make sure it’s affordable. Closely compare all the companies out there.
3. Make sure your provider is focused only on the funeral profession. It’s no different than choosing a doctor who is a specialist.
4. Try to avoid signing a contract. What if you have a problem? You don’t want to be locked in. Things change; that’s life. You need to be flexible!
5. Make sure it’s easy-to-use! Ease-of-use is everything.
6. Find a provider that puts the webcast on your website. You don’t want your families going to another company to find your webcast. You deserve all the credit!
7. Make sure they have 24/7 Support! It’s technology. Problems do happen. Good companies just fix them :).
8. I HIGHLY recommend working with a company that will offer you a FREE trial first.

I say, “YES!”

Many of the directors I’ve talked to recently have shared that they’re doing more cremations and making less money. In other words, they’re working harder, and earning less.

It doesn’t have to be that way. If you give me a bit of your time, I’ll show you how your firm can bring in $750 more per arrangement, easily, and creatively. Not only that, your client families will rave about your innovative products and services.

In fact, you may already have all you need to get started. If you’re a subscriber to The Director, American Funeral Director, or the ICCFA Magazine, you’re one step ahead of the game. That’s because we’ve included a free copy of Life Tributes, the world’s first and only personalization software suite, in the January issues of each of these journals.

I want you to experience for yourself what over 4,000 leading funeral professionals have already discovered. Prove to yourself just how profitable it can be to easily provide your client families with the highest quality in personalization services and products.

If you’re anything like me, when a new issue of your favorite trade journal arrives, you scan the cover and toss it on your desk. Whatever you do, don’t do it this month - open it - to learn how you can beat the recession.
