The Best is Yet to Come

August 2019 Newsletter
Word to the Wise Newsletter

From time to time, we like to step back and take stock of where we came from, where we are, and where we’re headed. Little did we know when we started back in 2000 as a simple website that today, we’d be the leader in providing funeral-related information. Our website has served over 17 million users and more than 8,000 active funeral planners.

As thrilled as we are with how far we’ve come, we don’t plan to stop here. In the coming months, we’ll inform you about exciting enhancements to our planner and a more mature slate of product offerings.

As we work to make Funeralwise even more responsive to your needs, we want to take a moment to say something. Thank you! Thank you for taking advantage of our free resources, shopping in our memorial store, and asking questions.

So keep your eyes open over the next few months as we roll out awesome new features and products. We look forward to continuing to work with you to help you navigate the often tricky world of funerals and funeral planning.


OUR MEMORIAL STORE

If you haven’t seen our online memorial products store recently, it’s time to take a fresh look.

We’ve added new lines of urns for both people and pets, and we continue to add unique jewelry and keepsake items monthly.

Besides urns, our store carries a variety of keepsakes that are perfect as gifts for yourself or a loved one. And don’t forget to use our special THANKS10 discount code.

CALCULATING FUNERAL COSTS

We recently released a new version of our Final Expense Calculator for people who don’t yet use our Wise Planning System.

This important tool gives you a real-time estimate of how much money you will need at end-of-life. Give the calculator a try, and feel free to share it.

If you already use our planner, you can access the calculator from within your plan.

FUNERAL FOOD

Whether it’s a sympathy meal or a dish for a funeral reception potluck, a home-cooked meal lets others know we’re thinking of them and want to help.

There are hundreds of delicious funeral recipes appropriate for sharing, but without a doubt, Funeral Potatoes is the rock star of the funeral food world. That’s why we’re showing a little love to this all-time favorite.
