FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 17, 2011 -
Frazer Consultants, a personalization, technology, and consulting company for the death care profession, recently announced an extensive upgrade to its funeral personalization software, Tribute Center.  Including several sought after new features, the just released upgrade enables funeral professionals the ability to better serve client families through enhanced personalization options.

Tribute Center upgrade includes the following new features:

Edit Funeral Webcasts
As part of the latest enhancement within Tribute Center, Frazer Consultants had added an editing capability for funeral webcasting.  This upgrade enables a funeral professional to edit a funeral webcast recording to eliminate any unwanted footage

Integrate Home Movies Into Video Tributes
Home movies have been popular with families for decades.  With smart phone technology and advancements in data sharing, it seems most everyone is creating and sharing home movies, short video clips, and family photos nowadays.  Now the Tribute Center upgrade enables a funeral professional to receive home video footage from client families, edit it down to highlight specific clips, and insert the recording to become part of a moving video tribute.

“It’s now no more difficult to include a home video into a tribute than it is a picture,” said Matt Frazer, Consultant with Frazer Consultants, LLC.  ”Pictures and videos are uploaded into the tribute video software the same, easy way.”

Add Scenic Intros and Ending Video Clips to Tribute Videos
Numbers new scenic video clips can now be integrated into a client families video tribute along with exclusively licensed music, and client families photographs and family videos.  These new videos can be download from the online Tribute Center library to be offered as a new personalization option for client families.

Generation & Printing of QR Codes
At the command of the funeral professional, Tribute Center will now generate a QR code and print it along with the selected theme and other personalized verbiage on custom funeral stationery.

“Using a smartphone to scan the QR code printed on the back of a loved one’s funeral stationery, client families will be able to view the tribute video dedicated to the deceased, read condolences, sign an online guest book, and view an online photo album right on their phone,” continued Frazer.

Export Tribute Videos to Digital Signs
Digital signage utilizes the latest technology displaying relevant, useful information in a format that attracts a visitor’s attention. Using Tribute Center, a funeral professional can now create a tribute video and export it to a computer.  From there, the file can be saved to a flash drive and plugged into any digital signage for viewing.  Previously, the tribute videos could only be burned to DVD or uploaded to the internet.  This new enhancement gives the funeral professional the flexibility to utilize the video in other ways.

Frazer Consultants primary products and services include interactive funeral home website design, funeral tribute video software, funeral webcasting, funeral candles, funeral keepsakes, funeral register books, personalized funeral stationery, and funeral holiday remembrance ornaments.  For more information, please visit http://www.frazerconsultants.com or call 866-372-9372.
