This is 🔥
Ryan & Dave, thank you for sharing this valuable information. As a Deathcare Professional I really appreciate the insight and expertise. Keep up the good work 👏 Blessings to you both!
What is PRIDI?
*Plastic Tupperware*
$300????? man the funeral industry is weird, most cemeteries require urn vault and this is obviously capitalizing on that. you couldn’t convince me that this is worth even close to $300. it’s PLASTIC for christ’s sake. get real you greedy bastards and make things affordable or it’ll bite you in the ass.
Does this software support just plots or does it include crypts and niches too?
Way to go, Toby! So proud of you and excited to see Charity Box take off.
😀 pr໐๓໐Ş๓
Is there a video showing how it works? Today we took a couple out to the cemetery, they picked plots, we marked them off map, created contracts, etc.. we need software! St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Redding, CA. thank you! God Bless your business
Yes, there are videos to see how it works. Here's one you can check out which is a part of our self-training and implementation video set (ua-cam.com/video/P-0PhNFsTEc/v-deo.html). Watch it and if you want to see more, you can contact us via our website at everark.io for a more detailed demo.
thank you for uploading this video, interested in CANA and mortuary science
I will try it...... vs cardboard.
This guys is awesome! I love how he fully explains things! Plus he also remembers to do a lil product plug to I ain’t even mad. You go dude, live you life.
ok so i will not use anything with cucumber melon scent ever again because it is a reminder of embalming fluid😣😡
lol... Pierce Chemical sells that nonsense scented fluid..
We sold because Aurora was the smallest company we owned and it was not worth the time we were putting into it
So grandma is going to reek of cucumber?
If anyone ever figures out the actual benefit of scented embalming fluid, I'd love to know... as I have yet to understand the thought process behind a fluid that smells like Mellon to mask the HCHO
Nope They sold To Matthew Int Casket Div AKA York Casket York Pa . I Know I work there and make parts for their caskets and ours
What is this man talking about? He gives no details of what the title of this video means.
I have tried it and I never got the results I was trying to achieve. Yeah it smell nice but its lacking the preservation power of other chemicals I have tried. I will stick with Fridged.
Try Champion...
My experience with Tributes.com. I left a message for a dead friend and they never posted it. That's bad enough. Then, a week later these bastards send me an email thanking me for the message I left and, by the way, am I interested in blah blah blah? I checked 2 months later and still my "Tribute" is not there. Assholes. Thumbs down.
guy recommended by funeral home 250 bucks for 60 pics 3 songs
that's awful
I hope all of you understand the NXT fluid is NOT safer it only mask the HCHO and is just as harmful. Come on... Give me a break.... It is not lower exposure, it just smells nice.. Geez.. You would think NXT would be something that was Next Generation like safer for the embalmer. Hey!! It can still harm you and you can still get Cancer, but you won't realize it.... I hope that Pierce Chemical will not try to trick embalmers with smells of nice things. I hope that embalmers are not fooled by this cheap party trick.
As a student in mortuary school, I am doing my clinical embalmings at a funeral home and the funeral director uses this stuff and I was amazed by it. It smelled good and it still did the job. I think this is absolutely genius !
I hope that the scents added by Pierce Chemical did not make you think that the HCHO was less present and this masked HCHO, thanks to Pierce will defiantly kill you.
Actually your missing the mark in regards to the use of QR Codes on memorials, first of all the internet will be around for a very long time. With smart phones, tablets it is easily accessible and is always in the control of the family who sees the information or not. As a marketing tool for enlisting discounts on a purchase, is downright disrespectful. I for one believe it is time to leave a legacy in remembrance of a loved one, utilising technology in a respectful and meaningful way.
Really appreciate your web show!
You must have content for the video... See: Amazon #1 top Selling book How To: Organize Your Photo Library - In 7 Easy Steps Order information: Hard Copy: amzn.to/1caCJSL Kindle Version: amzn.to/19Ewgib Self promoting... Yes... Sorry... BUT I sincerely believe that every Funeral Director in the industry should provide this as a tool to help folks cope with grief from the loss of a loved one. Please let me know your thoughts. PIMCoach.info@gmail.com
I saved $3000 when I bought my casket from best price caskets in Dallas. BestPriceCaskets. Their 18ga metal caskets were $995 instead of $4000 at the funeral home. 972-620-2699. They ship everywhere in the USA.
A Funeral is a sad time I use to work in funeral home and I have had a lot of lost and it is sad funerals are not fun and its not funny. Yes you have to be there for the family's they look to the staff at the fumeral home to helpe tham and to get thoug with they are going though. What the chat room or thing you where on that you talk abouth ? The family do and shod get what they want for there ove ones. What state are you from ?
You got the message! at the end of the day it comes down to servicing the family and they are truly pleased Thanks for the review we appreciate it!!
well said !!!
You look fine!
I like the concept. I look forward to seeing this as an emerging app on FB.
We personally strive for the personalization aspect to each service, we think the atmosphere itself should really help tell the story of the persons life. It's not unusual to see hay bails stacked to the ceiling or even a golf cart now and again.
I think your right about the tombstone stuff. Just think, who has a 5 inch floppy drive now? I know where there are some 11 inch disks that no one could possibly read now. Or even operating systems. Maybe MS? Most are gone with the wind. Even paper documents, like books are now crumbling to dust. But you can still read the stones that the Pharaohs inscribed that were made 3000 years ago. Are we really that much more advanced?
Ryan, I agree with you that there are some short term marketing purposes for QR codes but for long term memorialization I don't think that it is a good idea either. We have created a QR Code Generator and URL Shortener if anyone wants to try it. See the video comment that I have added.
