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…

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.

Regardless of who you decide to partner with for your webcasting needs, I wish you the best of success. I hope that the information I have shared with you has helped make your decision easier.

It’s nearly everyday we hear about another success story. I can’t even express how happy we at funeralOne are to be part of our clients success! And let me tell you, I’m obsessed with building success for our clients.

Today’s success story is about the Wakeman Funeral Home. Brothers Rodney and Brian Wakeman state that webcasting with funeralOne’s Life Tributes software is “almost foolproof” and streamlines the process of uploading and viewing webcasts. In one case, they even talked about helping a U.S. soldier pay his final respects to his grandfather all the way from Iraq.

See for yourself what the Wakeman brothers are saying about funeral webcasting with funeralOne. Here’s just a few of the featured articles:
