Funeral Homes

Welcome – This page is for all the Funeral Homes that have the insight to make use of this site as a resource for their widowed clients.

Preplanning can be a hard sell to your clients because their income is often pegged for other needs.  But nothing explains the benefits of preplanning as well as widows.

Some preplanned their funerals as couples and they talked about the stress that it took off them.  They had planned it together so there was no running around the day of death trying to get everything done.  Others did not preplan and their stories were about hardships both mentally and financially.  They didn’t know what their spouses wanted and made decisions too fast – decisions that could not be taken back.

Sure the expense of the funeral and having it paid for is a relief but its more than just money.  There is a sense of peace knowing that the decisions were made when there was time to think things out, when they could do it together and that is priceless.

Mary Francis has mapped a journey that none of us wish to embark upon; widowhood. This book chronicles the experiences of sixteen women who have made that journey revealing the host of emotions and challenges they encountered along the way. If you’ve been widowed your journey will be unique, but I believe you will find comfort, strength and inspiration in the courage that is the common thread here.  In the equally brave act of sharing their stories, these women have offered a gift to those who will follow in these difficult footsteps.

This book program is about supporting the wives on a practical level as it educates them on how widows deal with the loss of their husbands.  It also supports widows on an emotional level as they learn tips and advice when they are alone and trying to get back on their path.

Funeral Homes make an appointment to do preplanning with a couple and give them the book as a thank you gift for taking the time to hear about their different plans.  Once the wife reads the book it seals the deal because the wife has learned about the importance of preplanning from real stories.  These stories speak to the couple on a practical real life level that makes it a today issue and not a maybe sometime in the future issue.

Funeral Homes also give the book as a gift to a new widow.  It is their way of reaching out to her and giving her emotional support through other widows who understand.   Many widows after reading the book come back to do their own preplanning because they don’t want their own children to have to make decisions while under stress like they did.

Funeral Homes often stamp their name and address on the inside of the book and believe us when we say that this book is a pass around book.

Preplanning is an important part of your business and we appreciate all the support Funeral Homes give to the families and widows.  Please pass this website address on to your clients as a resource site for information and links to learn how to get rebalanced.  We offer a blog, a newsletter, resource pages and a page of other resource websites all for free.

Knowledge is the key to opening their minds to the importance of preplanning and this book program is where you get that key.  Funeral Homes that connect with their clients on an emotional level as well as a practical level see an increase in their preplanning sign ups.  We thank all the Funeral Homes in the United States and Canada for being part of this book program.  It’s a win-win for both the Funeral Homes and for their clients.
