Why should you have a website?

According to Nielsen//Net Rating, 142,406,616 people in the United States used the internet during May 2004.
Websites for Funeral Homes realizes that in that massive number were friends and relatives seeking information about the funeral of a loved one.
With a website you can easily provide that information.

Here are a few other reasons:

Online obituaries provide your community with easily accessible information. Including the times of visitation and service can save you answering many phone calls.
Online obituaries can be retained until you decide to remove them.
You have to be certain the information you provide to the community is accurate. Posting your own obituaries gives you the opportunity to verify information until you know it's accurate.
You can market monuments on your site.
Prearrangements can be done online. Funeral details can be carefully arranged so that they are exactly what the deceased would have wanted. And that removes a burden from the survivors.
Information about prepaid services can be posted online. This gives the customer an opportunity to pay for funeral expenses ahead of time and avoid the inevitable increase in cost.
A page describing the history of your funeral home, plus photos, can be part of your website.
Your staff and their credentials can be introduced to the community.
Domain names, such as www.yourfuneralhome.com, have become a standard part of a progressive business's address.
In addition to being a powerful benefit to the community, a website could be your cheapest and farthest reaching advertising.

What we do:

First, we will ask for your input to help us understand the mission of your funeral home. But we accept the responsiblity of having a professional copywriter write your text, and a professional graphic artist do your layout work.
Then, in our partnership effort to make your website something you will be proud of, we will ask your participation throughout your site's development.
But, our involvement doesn't stop there.
We will arrange a Hosting Service Provider if you don't have one. We will put your site online and provide you with instructions and training in its use.
And we will remain available to answer any questions you might have.

What we don't do:

We do not provide "do-it-yourself" websites, where you pick from a few templates to build your own site and then write your own text.

We do not make your website simply a few pages off our domain. Instead, we help you pick an appropriate domain name and walk you through registering it to yourself. That means that name becomes your property for as long as you register it, and you will be reminded that it's time to renew your registration.

We do not sub-contract any work, and there are no hidden charges. Everything we do in the process of developing your website is original and done in-house.

Reflections

Advertising is a great expense to any business. That cost makes it imperative that you seek the highest return possible on your investment dollar.

Consider the cost of reaching everyone in your community through newspapers or TV or radio for one week. What would that do to your advertising budget?

Now imagine reaching everyone in your community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at a fraction of that cost.

We look forward to working with you during the creation of a powerful new asset for your funeral home, and for your community.
