Tribute Funerals.com Helps Comfort Consumers by offering complete personalization tribute theme products from the comfort of home
United States of America (Press Release) September 3, 2007 --
Tributefunerals.com is a national online funeral casket and urn retailer that specializes in providing consumers with personalized funeral options for less.
The National Funeral Directors Association has an article published on their web site that talks about the growing consumer demand for more personalized funeral services. Funerals are intended to be a celebration of a life well lived and that is the primary reason for consumer demand to personalize funerals. People want to pay a tribute to their loved one based on what their loved one's passions and hobbies.
Corporate Casket Companies are very much aware of this and do very little for personalization of their caskets. Some have head panel inserts or changeable corner pieces that are intended to be personalization features.
Funeral Homes are also becoming corporatized and as a result become more disconnected from consumers needs and are driven solely on revenues rather then service.
Casket Companies and Corporate Funeral Homes both know that the majority of consumers have a tendency to tune death out and make arrangements at a time of need. This means that a family will enter a funeral establishment after a death has occured and this is when they choose their products.
Consumers shopping under duress do not have a lot of time to make decisions and funeral homes know that they have to purchase a product. Most consumers will not "shop around" when it comes to choosing a funeral product.Tribute Funerals main focus is to alleviate shopping under duress by allowing consumers to shop from the comforts of home for a complete personalization package.
The consumer can complete a transaction online and the products will ship directly to the funeral home.
Consumers will not need to worry about making an "on the spot decision". The simple fact that a funeral establishment is a business is always in the back of a consumers mind.Shopping from home allows consumers to take a break from choosing a product.
For the most part consumers are not aware that they have the right to choose funeral products from other sources, other then the funeral home. The Federal Trade Commison protects consumers from funeral establishments refusing products that they find elsewhere.
The FTC Consumer Funeral Law prohibits funeral directors from refusing casket and urn products from outside sources such as www.tributefunerals.com. In addition the law has more specific rules about causing any added duress of making the consumer present for delivery of the products to the funeral home.
The FTC law does not currently cover burial vault choices and cemeteries are free to refuse a burial vault purchased by a consumer. Burial Vaults are the outer container that will house the casket at the cemetery. Currently the vast majority of cemeteries require an outer burial container and most of them have a minimum requirement of concretet construction.
Tribute Funerals is currently working to change that requirement of concrete as plastic burial vaults are a viable option that is refused by most cemeteries. Plastic Burial Vaults are more cost effective for consumers. Plastic or PVC based products are replacing concrete products in several other industrial applications such as water and sewer pipes as well as septic tank applications, but not burial applications!
Dr. Alan Wolfelt, an expert grief counselor says:
"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".
