Is Mother Nature affecting your sales?

Drew Edwards,
General Manager,
Sunset Funeral Homes

Trigard Memorials is located in the Midwest and our winter weather has been plentiful this year. We have had above average snowfall and sub-zero temperatures. So, for those of you experiencing warm or even mild weather, consider yourself lucky.
 
Before the snow from one wintery storm melts, the next is rolling through. Everything from clearing roads in our cemetery, to setting vaults and digging graves requires twice the effort with the same results.
 
Walking people through the cemetery to show them examples of bronze memorials isn't an option, but it doesn't stop us. At our local funeral homes and memorial park, we understand the cemetery is the last place people want to be in sub-zero temperatures, so we adapt. We have wall displays for our bronze memorials conveniently located in our cemetery offices, as well as our funeral homes. And, we give our sales team the tools they need to work around Mother Nature's plans.
 
If you are interested in helping your funeral homes sell products during inclement weather, call our Customer Service team at 800.798.4900 for pricing and details. Until then, think spring!

Product highlight: Memorial Rock

 
Our lightweight memorial rocks provide a lasting tribute to a loved one while enhancing the landscape of a home or cemetery. Cremated remains can either be placed inside a compartment in the rock or a space can be dedicated in a loved one's honor after burial or scattering.
 
Memorial rocks are crafted from molds based on natural rocks. The forms are lined with concrete and painted in one of three colors. Families can choose from six styles, then personalize the tribute with a bronze plaque in either oxide or Brilliant Impressions® full-color.
 
Call 800.798.4900 to learn how Trigard memorial rocks can provide a place to share memories for years to come.
