Just as I was writing my latest blog post (an update on the worldwide press exposure &#8220;Schoedinger Funeral Homes&#8221; received), it was brought to my attention that yet <em>another</em> one of our clients was featured in several national and local news stations including USA Today. This is remarkable. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s nearly everyday we hear about another success story. I can&#8217;t even express how happy we at funeralOne are to be part of our clients success! And let me tell you, I&#8217;m obsessed with building success for our clients. </p>
<p><span id="more-232"></span></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s success story is about the <em>Wakeman Funeral Home</em>. Brothers Rodney and Brian Wakeman state that webcasting with funeralOne&#8217;s <em>Life Tributes</em> software is &#8220;almost foolproof&#8221; 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.</p>
<p><strong>See for yourself what the Wakeman brothers are saying about funeral webcasting with funeralOne.</strong> Here&#8217;s just a few of the featured articles:</p>
