Funeral Home Uses New Software to Enhance Arrangement Conferences

FuneralKiosk software allows a funeral director to guide a family through a very personalized tour of products from any manufacturer. The quality of the images and the ease of use focuses the arrangement process.

Plymouth, MA (PRWEB) September 6, 2007 -- Kathy Cartmell-Sirrico has helped many grieving families create truly personal funeral services to honor and remember their loved ones. Over the years, as more options for funerals and funeral merchandise have become available it has become difficult for the funeral director to personalize the process to cut down on confusion. As a result, funeral homes like Cartmell's have done an excellent job of focusing on the family in order to deliver the right funeral for the right need.

"With the rise of the variety in funeral options, we were looking for a way to easily show the options available to our families," said Ms. Cartmell-Sirrico. "The family already has enough decisions to make, so if we can ease their choices and make the process comfortable, it's better for all concerned. One solution we've adopted is a new service offered by FuneralKiosk, Inc. of Needham, MA."

FuneralKiosk allows funeral directors to create a customized electronic display of products that can be easily shown on a very high-quality display screen. "FuneralKiosk allows a funeral director to guide a family through a very personal tour of products that are available. It's a much better experience for the family than flipping through big catalogs of products," said Sean Sweeney, President of FuneralKiosk, Inc. "What makes us really stand out is the quality of our presentation - you feel like you can reach out and touch the merchandise."

"Behind the easy-to-use kiosk is sophisticated technology", said Sam Levine, the Chief Technology Officer for FuneralKiosk. "For example, we have developed a proprietary algorithm that automatically selects the best pictures to display for each product. We have also assembled a world class database of funeral merchandise for display"

"With this service, I can now offer a more intimate and personal presentation for the family and help them better understand their options with the local setting and service that our customers have come to rely on in their most difficult times," said Ms. Cartmell-Sirrico.
