The Progression of DVD Video Tributes

DVD video tributes are not the simple slide shows of yesteryear. Gone are the days of a slide projector and dull images silently flashing on screen at a funeral or memorial service. Client families are looking for professional quality tribute videos and they're looking for their funeral director to provide them.

Thankfully funeral software has been evolving. What's better is that the technology is so advanced, there's no need to learn how to use some high tech editing program.

Innovative software has turned the DVD tribute video process into a simple three step process that may sound complex, but is ultra easy due to advanced funeral technology. With as many or as few pictures the family would like to use, a funeral professional can quickly scan the photos, add some special effects like music, transitions, or picture touch up and then burn the tribute video onto a DVD.

The professional motion and other effects can be easily added to each photo in seconds, bringing life to every image. Furthermore, using a complete music library with exclusively licensed music will produce a DVD tribute video that will amaze you and your client families.

This type of robust funeral software practically creates the DVD tribute videos on its own with minimal input from the funeral professional. Using these menu driven applications, professional tribute videos are being created in-house by funeral directors across the country. Making these personalized tribute videos is so easy that anyone, no matter how pressed for time, can do it using DVD tribute video software.

Death care professionals can also offer to place the tribute video on their website so that it can also be shared online. By simply uploading the tribute video to the web and linking it to the funeral home's website, client families can view the video tribute from the comfort of their own home.

DVD Video Tributes are a special way to honor and celebrate a loved ones life. They are a wonderful opportunity to help client families remember their loved one who has passed away and an excellent opportunity for a funeral director to provide an outstanding service.

Tribute Videos Tell a Life's Story

Tribute videos are an important part of a funeral or a memorial service. They can even be a fitting keepsake to tell a loved ones life story and capture memories forever.

A tribute video is an amazing way to honor a loved one and to celebrate their life. Nothing can replace the precious moments shared with family and friends; however, creating a DVD video tribute with a collage of photos set to music and blended with special effects can capture those memories forever. Once compiled, these moving DVD tribute videos provide not only a visual reminder of a beloved one after the memorial or funeral service but they can also be played during the service as well.

Funeral homes can now create DVD video tributes in house using photos that the deceased family and friends provide. Advanced funeral technology and software makes this once time consuming task a quick and easy process with world class results. Now importing pictures for the DVD tribute video can be completed at a rate of one photo every two seconds. Additionally, professional motion effects, moving video clips and beautiful music can be easily added to create a personal memorial video that can tell a life's story, over and over, just by clicking the play button.

The key to creating a top notch tribute video for a client family is to find software that is one-hundred percent dependable. Other features like full network capabilities, live preview, fast compiling and burn time, and professional effects will be items that death care professional will be sure to look for in their software as well. Additionally, the tribute video software should be capable of automatically setting transitions, sync music, and create a stunning DVD menu at the click of a button. Furthermore, a software that offers no long term contracts, no upfront costs, no equipment to buy and no support fees, would be one that most funeral professionals would be interested in finding.

Because ease of use is possibly the most important aspect, a software that can capture all of these features in an application that's easy to use, will be the clear winner. Tribute video software should be so robust that it practically creates the video tribute by itself. Using an application with a simple, menu driven and a user friendly interface, yet one that is advanced enough to give the flexibility of high end special effects is optimal. Find this software and the death care professional will be able to import, edit, burn and be done.

However, the best part of being able to provide loved ones with a DVD tribute video is the lasting effect it will have. Client families will be amazed with their tribute videos and remember that their funeral director was able to provide them with a keepsake that they can treasure forever.

They also have a beautiful selection keepsakes and the technology to create personalized funeral stationery and funeral candles.

Funeral Webcasting Equipment Guide

More and more funeral homes are starting to provide funeral webcasting for good reason. However, a lot of funeral homes that have never offered funeral webcasting don’t know where to begin. We typically see the biggest barrier to funeral webcasting is the setup of equipment. Funeral homes simply do not know what to do or where to start.

Today, we are going to teach you the main funeral webcasting equipment that is needed for a fixed camera system that would mount to the ceiling of the chapel. First, we will start with the list of equipment, and then explain what each piece of equipment does and how it connects to each other.

Our Suggested Funeral Webcasting Equipment List:
• Camera: Axis 214 Day / Night PTZ Network Camera
• Decoder: Axis P7701 Video Decoder
• Midspan and Splitter: Axis T8123 Midspan and Axis T8126 Splitter
• USB Capture Device: Kworld USB Video Capture Device
• Cable: Cat5 network cable (standard network cable)
• Laptop Computer
• Software (my favorite: Tribute Center)

Axis 214 PTZ Network Camera:
Let’s first start with the Axis 214 camera and talk about why we choose this particular camera over all the others. First, the name says it all, “Axis”, Axis seems to be the clear leader in the IP Camera industry and from a software providers perspective has the best drivers to work with.

Second, the Axis 214 camera can zoom in from over 150 feet and does not lose any quality. On top of that, it is one of the best IP cameras we have seen in low light conditions. There are several places on the internet you can buy this camera, the going price seems to be around $1,300. So as you can imagine, when you install the Axis 214 camera into your funeral chapel for funeral webcasting, the two main things that stick out the most is the distance the camera can zoom and the quality the camera can perform in bad light conditions. Not to mention the camera is a PTZ Camera (pan / tilt / zoom), that means you can control the camera with your computer mouse. What is really neat, is that you can create presets on the camera that allows you to zoom into specific spots within the chapel. For example, the most popular presets would be a close up of the podium, a wide angle view of the entire funeral chapel, and also a more close up view of the casket.

Axis P7701 Video Decoder:
The Axis Communications AXIS P7701 Video Decoder allows for live video feeds received from the IP Camera over a network to be displayed on analog equipment (your computer monitor). Really, the only important thing to know about the Axis Video Decoder box is that the network cable plugs into it from the camera.

Axis T8123 Midspan and Axis T8126 Splitter:
The Axis midspan and splitter I think is one of the coolest technologies. This allows the funeral home to not have to wire a power source right at the camera. Basically, the midspan injects power into the network cable, and then the splitter splits out the power and data at the camera. This really helps a lot of funeral homes so that they don’t have to hire an electrician to come in and wire an additional power source at the camera.

USB Capture Device:
The Kworld USB Capture device is what you plug into your USB port in your computer. This is what allows us to pull the video and audio signal from the decoder box then insert it into the pc and have it all make sense. Allow we use the kworld usb capture device for most funeral webcasting setups, there are several others to choose from as well.

Network Cable:
You will need to purchase a fairly long network cable depending how far your camera is from your computer where you will be using the software. Most funeral homes typically will buy a 50ft or 100 ft cat5 network cable.

Laptop Computer:
Most funeral homes have decided to buy a laptop that is dedicated to funeral home webcasting. Typically, the laptop will be setup in the “media room”, where the sound system is located for the chapel. The advantage of setting the laptop up in the media room is that we can then also tie your existing sound system into the funeral webcast. Generally, you only need to run a simple audio cord from your sound system to your usb capture device. If you are in the market to buy a new laptop, I might recommend the following for minimum system requirements:

-Brand Name: Dell or HP (just my personal preference)
-Windows 7
-Minimum of 6 Gigs of RAM
-Firewire and HDMI ports

Funeral Webcasting Software:
The Tribute Center is an all-in-one-suite that can not only do funeral webcasting, but also tribute DVD’s and personalized printing. By bringing together all three technologies, it really makes the funeral home more efficient and simplifies personalization for the entire staff.

The reason why the Tribute Center funeral webcasting software is on top of every other solution in the funeral industry is as follows: the only funeral webcasting software that allows for basic video editing right from the application; the only funeral webcasting software that has a personalized online player with over 450 themes to choose from; the only funeral webcasting software that uses the latest media encoder from Microsoft; the only funeral webcasting software that allows you to use multi camera setups; and last but not least, the only funeral webcasting software that is using a tier one content delivery network that has global distribution.

Now that we have given you a general overview of the equipment and software needed, we will now show a small diagram on how the equipment is connected inline:

Camera | Splitter | Network Cable | Midspan | Decoder | USB Video Capture Device

The above is an example of how the equipment is setup starting with the IP Camera. I know for most people that are looking at this for the first time, they probably feel pretty overwhelmed. However, let me tell you, it’s really not as bad as it may look. Once you get this hooked up for the first time, you really never have to mess with it again. Frazer Consultants will be here every step of the way to make sure you funeral webcasting system is setup properly and becomes a huge success.

How Funeral Candles Have Evolved

The flame of a funeral candle burning in a chapel draws mourners in to it's glow. The comforting flicker, it's symbolism of a warm embrace and the light itself inspires hope for the future. To some, the memorial candle even becomes a representation of the spirit of the person who has passed away. Obviously, funeral candles are a powerful part of any funeral or memorial service.

Historically, funeral candles were nothing more than ordinary candles perhaps with a ribbon attached or placed in an elaborate candelabra in a prominent place for the ceremony. However, mourners desire to more completely celebrate their loved ones life has pushed the funeral industry to move to create more personal keepsakes. The days of plain, white candles with a simple ribbon are a thing of the past. Families want more out of their tribute candles.

The challenge to meet or exceed client families wishes lies within the hands of the funeral director. Caught between helping a family craft their loved ones life celebration into everything that they imagined while controlling time and cost constraints, funeral directors need help. Using top notch funeral technology to assist them in performing tedious tasks, is an excellent solution. Instead of personalized keepsake candles becoming a dreadful chore, it's an opportunity to make a lasting impression on a family.

The creation of these personalized funeral keepsake candles is easier than you might think. There's no need to place an order with another provider and wait for your personalized items, hoping they come in on time and with no mistakes. The keepsake candles can be easily created in-house with just a few keystrokes.

Innovative software has turned the funeral candle personalization process into a very simple process. Using nothing more than a computer, a standard ink-jet or laser printer, and specially formatted perforated sheets, their creation is simple.

Funeral Stationery Thank You Notes

Funeral stationery and ancillary items like thank you notes are an important part of a life celebration.

Sending thank you notes following a funeral or memorial service is a time honored tradition. Thanking the people who came to the service, sent condolence cards and funeral flowers can also be part of the healing process. Thank you notes give the bereaved a chance to once again share their memories of the deceased with others and remember them in a special way.

To honor the deceased in an extraordinary way, each piece of funeral stationery can mirror the individual qualities that made that person distinct. Each prayer card, funeral register book and even the thank you notes can be reflective of the life that was lived. Creating personalized funeral stationery that matches the interests, hobbies, occupation, or religious background is now possible.


While many thank you notes are standard from funeral home to funeral home because of the limitation of pre-printed funeral stationery, creating thank you notes from blank stock is much less constraining and the results are astronomically better.

Thank you notes and other funeral stationery can now be created using hundreds of different pre-designed and pre-formatted templates. Utilizing blank stock, a laser printer and some easy to use print-on demand software, death care professionals are able to create personalized keepsake items that tell a life story.

Everything needed for a personalized service from start to finish can be printed in-house with no need to inventory the generic, pre-printed stock of the golden days of funeral stationery. With the latest funeral technology you can print what you want, when you need it, directly onto blank stock -- quickly and easily.
What makes an individual unique should be part of their life celebration. There's no more fitting tribute than personalized thank you notes and other unique funeral stationery.

For the highest quality funeral stationery and largest selection of thank you notes, funeral register books, memorial folders, prayer cards, book marks and funeral candles, all available at affordable, fixed cost per page printing on-demand, call Frazer Consultants, 866-372-9372.

The prayer card templates allow funeral professionals to print eight per sheet, creating almost one hundred prayer cards requires only a dozen sheets of paper. What makes the prayer cards unique is that they are printed from completely blank stock.

Using a standard laser printer or office color copier, the designs are not limited in any manner. There are many different themes, images and backgrounds that come pre-designed so that the entire prayer card is unique, not pre-printed. While many prayer cards are standard from funeral home to funeral home because of the limitation of pre-printed funeral stationery, creating prayer cards from blank stock is much less constraining and the results are astronomically better.



Creating special, keepsake prayer cards is not as difficult as you may think. Funeral software templates make the process much less time consuming. All you need to do is select a template and click a few buttons. Technology driven programs can help funeral homes with many tasks. Making personalized and unique funeral prayer cards and other funeral stationery is no exception.

Unique Funeral Programs and Stationery

Funeral programs and stationery should be reflective of the deceased's life. Death care professionals should recognize that client families no longer will accept limited, generic and pre-printed options.

Funeral programs and personalized funeral stationery are a wonderful addition to any funeral or memorial service. Providing client families with the option to choose from hundreds of themes can set not only the funeral program apart, but your funeral home as well.

A family mourning the loss of a loved one strives to create a service filled with memories and fitting tributes to honor and remember the deceased. Client families are looking to create funeral programs, keepsakes and other funeral stationery that visually speaks to them about their loved ones life. If Dad was a nature buff or Mom was into photography or worked with computers, families want ways to be able to express those qualities graphically in their funeral programs. Including the exact things that made their loved one special makes for a truly memorable life celebration.


Having generic stationery and funeral programs in this day and age is unacceptable. Pre-printed funeral stationery definitely cannot offer the options and reflect the individuals unique qualities. Thankfully funeral software and funeral stationery is progressing along with client families needs and wishes.

Funeral programs and other funeral stationery can now be created using hundreds of different pre-designed and pre-formatted templates. Taking blank stock, a laser printer and some easy to use print-on demand software, death care professionals are able to create a funeral program that reflects the interests, hobbies, occupation or religious affiliation of the deceased.


Using the most robust funeral software program that allows death care professionals to provide not only affordable and easy to create options, but also imaginative funeral programs is an ideal solution. Plus, when other funeral stationery such as funeral register books, memorial folders, prayer cards, book marks, dvd packaging and funeral candles are created using this same software, the overall finished presentation of keepsake items is remarkable. Each life can be celebrated for the specific qualities that made them special using unique, personalized funeral stationery.

Client families want options. Shouldn't you be prepared to provide what they want?

Funeral Web Design

Creating a funeral home website design that is simple, intuitive, and interactive will set you apart from the competitor down the street.

Partnering with a professional company that has experience with funeral home websites is key to creating a website design that is sharp in appearance, yet easy for client families to navigate. Using an industry specific company that solely concentrates on the funeral industry can provide a high quality product that has been tested by hundreds of others.

The basic components that are a must in every funeral home website are:

• Obituaries
• Online Video Tributes
• Online Pre-Arrangement Form
• Online Guest Book
• Contact Page
• Resource Page
• Social Media Integration

Enhancing a website with other interactive options such as memorial, visitation, service and cemetery information is also a good idea. The more online information a funeral home can provide to families and friends of the deceased, the better.

Other features some funeral homes are selecting are:
• Single or Album Photo Upload
• Pre-Planning Module
• Obituary Notification System
• Virtual Showroom
• Online Guest Book
• Pre-Planning Information
• Content Management System
• Community Events Calendar
• Map and Directions
• Contact Form

Selecting the most fitting modules for your website will greatly impact the overall design of the funeral homes website; however, it's extremely important to find a total solutions provider. Not only should a funeral home website design company create a great website, but they should also be able to register a domain, set up email, ensure search engine submission and optimization and provide statistical reports.

For a funeral home website design solution that empowers the funeral professional and delivers an interactive experience to the families they serve, contact Frazer Consultants. Their funeral home website designs can help set your funeral home apart from the competitor down the street.

Funeral Home Website Design and Beyond

A funeral home website design company should be able to not only create a great website but also be a total solution provider.


If you are looking to enhance your funeral home website, its important to find not just a good designer, but a total solutions provider. While selecting the most fitting layout and content for your website will greatly impact the overall experience for client families, finding a company that can do more for your funeral homes site is an ideal solution.

A funeral home website design company should not only create a great website, but they should also be able to understand the industry and what vital components each website should contain. The partner company should also be able to register a domain should a funeral home not already have one and provide hosting services if necessary. They should also be capable of setting up email and ensuring search engine submission and optimization.

An essential part of the equation some funeral home website design companies fail to include in a funeral home website is the ability to track the statistics on the site. Knowing how many visitors "hit" the funeral home website, what pages they visited and how long they stayed is valuable data to collect if a funeral home should wish to do some web marketing.

Once up and running, a funeral home has the ability to turn a funeral home website into a revenue generator selling advertising, affiliate programs and/or creating an online gift shop. The possibilities are endless.

However, finding a total solutions partner for your funeral home website design is key to putting this plan into motion. By partnering with a professional company that has experience with funeral home website designs and all the other vital components can help set your funeral home apart from the competitor down the street.

How Does Your Funeral Home Website Design Rate?

A funeral home website can be the first interaction with a client family. How does your website design rate?

Having an internet presence is extremely important in today's day and age. At the same time, having a website that is modern, interactive, social media connected, easily communicates your messages and presents your products and services to client families is even more important. If your website is more than a few years old or non- existent, your funeral home is missing many opportunities.

Some funeral home website designs are not including even the most basic components. Does your website contain obituaries, online video tributes, an online pre-arrangement form, online guest books, a contact page, map and directions, a good resource page, and automatically connects to your face book page?

Imagine yourself as a visitor to your website. Isn't this the type of information you'd want to find? Ask yourself, "What's missing?"

Enhancing a website with other interactive options such as memorial, visitation, service and cemetery information is also a good idea. Additional features, including photos of the deceased or the ability upload an entire album of photos for the family with their loved ones online tribute is also a popular choice. The more online information and access to the products and services a funeral home can provide to families and friends of the deceased, the better.

Once up and running, a well designed funeral home website has the ability to turn into a revenue generator by selling advertising, through affiliate programs, pre-planning, and creating an online gift shop or virtual showroom. The possibilities are endless.

The bottom line is that a funeral home website should create a simple, intuitive, and interactive experience for client families. Partnering with a professional company that has experience with funeral home website designs can enhance the way your client families interact with you. But, recognizing that your website needs help is the first step.

For a funeral home website design solution that empowers the funeral professional and delivers an interactive experience to the families they serve, contact Frazer Consultants. Their funeral home website designs can help set your funeral home apart from the competitor down the street.
