At the heart of the software is the administrative
or “back-end” area
called Web Director. This area will allow your staff multi-tiered
access
to add, delete or make changes to the website.
Web Director lets you add, modify and send obituaries to
newspapers,
print and email obituary proofs for family approval, view
pre-planning
accounts, add or modify products, services, staff, helpful
resources,
location information, and view and export newsletter subscriptions.
Access can be granted for each category to block users and
allow
limited or full access to features.
The online preplanning system is like no other. It allows
users to create
a preplan funeral account and store the information for
future access.
As the user builds their funeral plans, the software gives
them a running
market value for the services. The software tailors questions
as user
choices are made.
To record their prearrangements, clients can:
* record their family information
* choose a disposition option
* decide on visitation, funeral, graveside and memorial
services
* choose pallbearers, soloists and clergy
* choose their scripture, music and florists information
* upload a preferred photograph to be used in their obituary
* and more
From Web Director, your staff is notified by email when
a user
creates a new account and gives your staff access to view
and print the pre need information.
Site users can view obituaries with photographs of the deceased.
Service highlights include the date, time, location and
a map to
the service. Users are able to search past obituaries and
send
condolences to family members.
Staff members are given an array of options to help simplify
the obituary writing process. From Web Director, a staff
member
can create, edit or delete an obituary or even transfer
a preplan
arrangement directly to the obituary section. After entering
the
personal and service information for the deceased, Web Director
will automatically generate the obituary. Photographs can
be uploaded
and are automatically converted to web usage formats and
sizes.
Obituary proofs can be printed that includes a sign-off
area for
the family to approve before the obituary is published.
When the
obituary is ready to be sent to the newspapers, the software
allows
staff members to generate an email with the photography
attached in a print ready format and emailed directly to
the paper.
The staff directory features contact information, biography
and a picture of your staff members. The directory can be
divided for multiple funeral home locations and a searchable
area
allows users to find staff member information easily. From
Web
Director, the information can be easily added, modified
or deleted.
Photographs can be uploaded and are automatically converted
to web usage formats and sizes.
A products and services area allows guests to browse through
categories like caskets, vaults, keepsakes and more. Photographs
can be included with each product listed and the products
can be
searched. Descriptions for each product and pricing is also
included.
Staff members can access this section through Web Director
to add
products, modify or make them unavailable to users without
deleting them from the database.
The helpful resources section includes several features.
First is a
list of local resources including area cemeteries, churches,
florists,
lodging and memorial options with contact information and
a
map of their location. This area is searchable. A document
library
allows users to download PDF files of important forms. Users
also
can find out more information on anatomical donations and
institutions in your area that accept these donations.
