Press Release Body = National Press Release September 3,2007
Most of us do not associate the words \"celebration and funeral\" in the same sentence. Fact is, funerals are intended to be a celebration of life.
Dr. Alan Wolfelt, a noted grief counsilor, writes:
When you are planning a funeral, personalizing the ceremony should be a priority. Think about the special qualities of the person who died and what he or she meant to others. Consider his or her passions, hobbies, pastimes, likes, dislikes. How can you capture this unique life? Be as creative as you, together with your family, friends, funeral director, and the person who will lead the service, brainstorm how to remember and honor the person who died. -- from Funerals: A Consumer\'s Guide
This article taken from the National Funeral Directors Association, says:
The Public's New Perception of Funeral Service
With the rise of the baby boomers, funeral service consumers are making funeral decisions based on different values than their previous generation. Boomers and seniors have a strong commitment to and appreciation for the value of funeral service and are seeking a meaningful service that provides a connection to their loved one, and a celebration of the life that was lived. Many consumers also are seeking products, services and experiences that are different than those that have been included in the traditional funeral service. Their decisions are more event-based than product-based.
With funeral home\'s and product manufacturers increasingly becoming corporatized, these services, are for the most part over looked.
Consumer\'s have a tendancy to wait until the inevidable happens. At that point consumers under duress will most likely head stright for a funeral home to make arrangements.
This is critical . The Federal Trade Commission has a consumer protection law that prohibits funeral homes from refusing products purchased by consumers from alternate sources.
www.tributefunerals.com is a national online retailer that caters to personalized funerals. Consumers can purchase a complete personalization package from the comfort of their own home, and have it delivered straight to the funeral establishment of their choice.
This means that consumers can take their time when making a decision or picking out a theme for the funeral service. Think of a funeral like a wedding or any other special event. You would not wait until the wedding day to purchase a wedding dress, rings or pick out a theme for the invitations.
Funerals are a very intimate event and should be properly planned. Purchasing a pre arranged funeral service is one of the best things consumers can do. This way they pick their own theme. The first step in this process should be to shop for products from any source including funeral homes and make informed decisions about their product and service purchases.
\"The average retail casket price for a median or intermediate casket, is anywhere from $1800.00 up to $3000.00 and beyond. A completepersonalized themed TRIBUTE FUNERAL package, including delivery can be purchased from www.tributefunerals.com for $3000.00 or less in most cases, all from the comfort of home.\" ---Says www.tributefunerals.com President and CEO, Joe Parker.
Parker goes on to say: \"Tribute Funerals is the only retailer of it\'s kind in the nation, and our goal is to give people a complete personalization package, with themes for any lifestyle including, Military,Religion,Civil Service,Baseball,Golf, Hunting and fishing. We are a one stop shop that allows consumers to pay homage to their loved one with products as unique as the personality of the loved one that they are celebrating.\"
\"My wife\'s grandfather was a highly decorated Korean War Veteran, and his funeral was a Theme Service and I remember people in attendance we\'re talking about him and how the service was so tastefully done to suit his personality. They we\'re also laughing and remembering the good times they shared with him. They were not saying,\"he is in a better place now. or He is not suffering any more, which to me sounds like a remeberance of the final days. That is exactly what consumers are trying to avoid when bidding a loved one farewell.\"
\"We are proud to offer a special package for our Military Veteran Hero\'s, who preserve our freedoms, by providing them with a casket that reflects the branch of service in which they served and a free personalized flag display case.\"
