Funeral Home Service and Online Obituaries

Today’s Families are Creating Online Obituaries

Traditional Obituaries

Obviously, the death of someone is a touchy subject, especially when it is a loved one.  As is the custom, death notices are produced by a family member, and submitted to the local newspapers for publication.  Along with the help of a funeral home associate, the family announces the loss of their loved one, and encourages well-wishers and friends to acknowledge the deceased, and provide information about memorial services.

The Advent of Digital Technology

We all know the Internet and the social media revolutions have rung the death knell for traditional newspapers.  Print newspaper sales are in deep decline, as advertising revenues have been diverted to other media.  Traditional obituaries are typically a revenue source for the newspaper editors, but the growing population of people today are not choosing to read the obituary section every day, as they have in the past.

As our population embraces digital technology and abandons traditional print media, there is a brand new market currently underserved.  Today’s world of memorial technology is moving rapidly, so this exponential growing need to access important information is every bit as pertinent.  The delivery system of the all-important and sensitive information contained in an obituary remains a large piece of our cultural fabric.  So if print is experiencing a slow and steady decline, then obituaries must go online.

Online Obituaries

Online obituaries provide the ability to send out a professionally-crafted, beautiful, full-color template.  These customized and personalized  templates on the Internet contain all of the pertinent data families and loved ones will need.  Some of the other valuable features and benefits can include a picture, and links to funeral flowers, new memorial technology, as well as social networks such as Facebook, etc.

More families are choosing to create and share their obituary online, and notify their friends and family electronically through email and social networking.  These beautiful remembrance pieces are tasteful, and provide all of the necessary information about funeral service such as the location and time, date, as well as where the memorial services or burial places will be held.

The need for sending a death notice via the Internet is growing, and most Funeral Home and Cemetery Directors are now recommending or providing this kind of valuable service to their families.
