So without further ado…
Your Questions on Funeral Website Redesign…Answered:
Q: Can I keep my website address?
Answer: Yes. You’ll keep your website address and add functionality, all at the same time!
Q: Will the layout I choose for my firm remain unique, or will my local competitors be able to use the same one?
Answer: Yes, your website layout will be unique to your firm. funeralOne has many different layouts to choose from, and once you decide which one fits your firm’s needs, it will no longer be available in your market.
Q: Does f1Connect offer online obituaries?
Answer: Yes, your online obituaries will be displayed in social memorial websites. A social memorial website is dedicated page that is automatically created within your firm’s website that functions as a permanent memorial for a loved one. Memorial websites serve as a central location for family and friends to view their loved one’s obituary information, check service and event times, and celebrate the life lived by sharing memories, condolences, leaving virtual gifts, and more.

Answer: No, we have reconstructed our memorial websites’ donation model, giving you two different options to choose from. You now can choose either the donation model or the fully funded model.
