"Celebration" & "Funeral" are two words that are rarely associated with each other in the same sentence. The fact is funerals are intended to be a "celebration of a life well lived". With the demand from baby boomers and other consumer sectors for more personalized services in the rise, one company sets out to deliver. www.tributefunerals.com is a nations first and only online retailer dedicated to personalized funeral products. Now consumers can shop from the comfort and convenience of their own home when personalizing a funeral for a loved one. Up until now, consumers would have to go to a funeral establishment for a complete personalized funeral theme. As with any other special even such as weddings or anniversary parties, funerals take some planning. You would not wait until the day of the wedding to pick out a wedding dress or color scheme for the napkins, and funerals are no exception. The Federal Trade Commission has a consumer protection law in place, known throughout the industry as "The Funeral Law". This law prohibits funeral homes from refusing products purchased by consumers from alternate sources such as online retailers or casket stores. Most consumers do not excercise their right to this law. When the inevitable occurs, consumers usually head for the funeral home. With corporate funeral homes on the rise, most funeral homes only offer products that are on display from the manufacturers aligned with the mother corporation. Almost any funeral home in the nation will offer some sort of personalization, however most of them offer the same traditional casket and a video tribute or special gathering spot. Corporate funeral home entities consider the products offered by www.tributefunerals.com to be "Novelty" products and do not display them. Joe Parker, President & CEO of Tribute Funerals says: "The reason why most funeral homes do not display or show our types of products is because the corporation that owns the entity is aligned with a certain manufacturer in almost all cases. The reason I started www.tributefunerals.com is when my wife's grandfather, who is a highly decorated Korean War veteran, past away we tried to get a veteran casket and display photo's of him and his military friends along with his metals. The caskets we were shown had a small emblem corner piece and a small American Flag screen printed on the head panel. The funeral director suggested a "head panel" insert that was personalized and held a photo." " We purchased the casket from the funeral home and when we got home, I jumped online because I was not fully satisfied with the casket we had purchased. When I got online I found an "ARMY" casket and when I showed my wife, we both said that is what he should have. We were surprised that the casket was extremely reasonably priced. I called the funeral home back and spoke with the funeral director and he told us to come back down with a photo of the casket. When we got there, the funeral director told us that he could obtain the casket for us and went on to tell us how cheaply made the casket was. Then he offered to sell it to us for double the price I could pay online and I told him that I would get it myself." " I was able to find a wealth of information online about caskets and the funeral rule. It is because of the experience I had online that created a strong desire to start this company." I want people to have the easiest experience as possible when it comes to providing a theme Tribute for a loved ones funeral service. We are always looking for the best products in this segment and will continue introduce services that make it easier for people to complete their funeral needs online. Funeral Homes are a viable service that need to be preserved, especially on the private level, we are strong advocates of consumer pre planning their funerals."
