A new type of temporary grave marker has arrived and is forever changing the funeral industry.
Temporary grave markers are used to help a family employees locate new burial sites until permanent markers can be installed. They are designed to be durable for all types of weather and placed on new graves immediately following burial. Depending on the type of permanent marker that has been selected by the family, and how long it will take to construct, some grave markers will remain for up to twelve months.
Historically, temporary grave markers were simply a necessary funeral product, not something the family would even be consulted about or concerned with. The funeral director or cemetery workers would place the grave marker on the plot once the burial had concluded. Usually, the temporary grave marker consisted of a simple plastic stick which held a card. The card had the name of the deceased, birth and death dates and perhaps a plot number. This information was either handwritten or typed on to the card and was used to indicate the burial place in the cemetery.
A new type of temporary grave marker has recently been made available to funeral professionals and client families. Unlike any other grave marker, this patent pending, innovative marker enables a funeral professional to offer client families a more custom temporary grave marker with a few added benefits.
Not only can the standard information be included on the marker, this new temporary grave marker can be personalized in-house by the funeral professional with or without photos using free funeral software. Any custom message the family wishes to add can also be included on the back of the marker. Additionally, there is enough room for additional pictures, a prayer, poem, scripture, or famous quote – which can be selected from an extensive online library. But, what’s really different and innovative about this new funeral product is that once the permanent grave marker is created and installed, the photo frame portion can be removed and presented to the family of the deceased as a lasting keepsake.
Client families and the funeral industry are rapidly becoming aware of this new, patent pending type of grave marker and are asking for samples, as well as placing orders for immediate shipment.
As funeral software evolves, funeral professionals are able to create many funeral personalization products, like these temporary grave markers in-house. With no long term contracts, no upfront costs, no equipment to buy and no support fees, the choice between using this type of software and outsourcing is simple. In-house personalization software makes sense.
