Mary wants to give her husband that wonderful funeral she and the family need
to give but the money has to be saved somewhere for the burial. It happens
everyday and everyday the right casket or something has to be compromised
because there is only so much money and the costs for the cemetery have to
be covered.
There isn’t a Funeral Director anywhere who doesn’t agonize with this
dilemma of serving the family but having to watch while the right funeral
gets compromised because the family faces the cemetery costs on a limited
budget. So, the perfect casket can’t be used or visitation is shortened
or something that would truly make the funeral perfect can’t be done.
The family is embarrassed. The Funeral Director is saddened to see the
disappointment in their eyes.
The
Final Arrangements Network, the Internet’s premiere death care
consumer information organization, has done something to change this
scenario. Final Arrangements has recently begun several services that when
used can save a family up to 50% to 60% of the cemetery costs, literally
thousand of dollars. Thus, leaving more funds for the Director to work
with to create that perfect funeral Mary and her family want and need to
have.
The
Final Arrangements Network, as custodian of The Cemetery Registry, the
Internet’s national private owner cemetery property multi-list service,
has recently introduced three enhancements to the Cemetery Registry that
if used would offer a way for a director to help a family take care of the
cemetery part of the funeral for much less.
THE
IMMEDIATE NEED DESIGNATION - Final Arrangements’ private owner
selling clients are now encouraged to do the leg work concerning property
transfer so that their registered cemetery property can carry the
Immediate Need designation. This important notice on a listing means the
seller has made sure that if their property were needed immediately,
because of a death, the transfer could take place in the 24 to 72 hours
necessary to consider the property, just as the family would, if they were
dealing with the cemetery directly. The savings are enormous as most
private owner property offered in The Final Arrangements Network’s
Cemetery Registry carry savings from 20% to 60% for the very same type of
property available from the cemetery.

THE
BUYERS SEARCH – Anyone looking for property or trying to keep
abreast of availability in any City or Cemetery in the U.S. can now get
personalized updates of private owner cemetery property for sale as they
become available. A Funeral Director can keep informed of the property
being sold in his area by private owners and be ready when a family needs
it to help save them on the cemetery costs to enhance the funeral
services. These search updates come with all the necessary contact,
description and pricing information and more importantly those with
Immediate Need designation are duly noted.
THE
SELLERS ALERT – There are 1.5 million plus cemetery property
private owner sellers in the US. A Funeral Director can now receive the
latest information on buying and selling activity in any area, city and
cemetery in the US and Canada via email. Once an Alert has been started;
the types of properties being sought or sold along with pricing and
locations are compiled for each client who has begun a Seller’s Alert
Tracker. Periodically clients receive the latest information The
Final Arrangements Network has for their particular Alert. The nice
part of these tracking alerts is they are each customized by the client
himself or herself and can be changed anytime the client wishes to.
“These are tools we hope the funeral industry will use to help their families to
create the very best services. If we can help a funeral director save,
just one family in need, enough money to enhance a loved ones funeral even
a little, we have done our duty.” Said Final Arrangements Networks’
Corporate Communications Director, Lori Campbell.
“Funeral Directors can help us, as well, by forwarding private owners who they
become aware of who may have property they can add to The Cemetery
Registry. We have more Buyers looking for property than we have property
to offer them. It could be a wonderful public service for those in need
and a great two way street between us and the funeral home professionals
we try to serve.” Said Campbell.
Final Arrangements does not charge for the services. The Seller Alerts and Buyer
Searches registrations can be done, easily, online at The
Final Arrangements Network site.
