Built for Families
f1Connect
We've researched and analyzed millions of people as they browse funeral websites to scientifically design the f1Connect website platform. Our solution focuses on what families are looking for in a way that results in driving business to your funeral firm.
Your website
Your website isn't designed for families, it's designed for you. Families don't find value in browsing countless photos of your location, nor will they base the decision to visit your firm on your history.
Online Obituaries
f1Connect
Our online obituary system features dynamic memorial websites that encourage visitors to connect, share, and heal while celebrating the life lived - all on your website.
Your website
Your website features static obituaries and a guestbook that doesn't allow the sharing of memories or celebrating the life lived. Even worse, your obituaries might direct to a third-party site.
Sympathy Gifts & Flowers
f1Connect
f1Connect websites feature a fully-managed Sympathy Store that allows visitors to send flowers and gifts to express their condolences. The Sympathy Store not only provides another convenient offering directly on your website, but pays your firm competitive commissions on each sale.
Your website
Your website probably doesn't allow visitors to send flowers or gifts to the bereaved. If it does, you're probably linking to a third party site that doesn't reward you for the business you send them.
Pre-Planning
f1Connect
f1Connect's strategic pre-planning system educates families on the many benefits of arranging their funeral in advance and makes it easy to do so online. Our clients have seen up to a 2000% increase in their pre-need leads.
Your website
Your pre-planning section consists of a simple form. By not optimizing your pre-planning strategy, you're missing an opportunity for revenue.
Education on the Value of Services
f1Connect
f1Connect websites offer service examples and ideas through interactive content that helps families understand the value of the services you provide.
Your website
Your website fails to showcase the services you provide in an engaging way that families understand.
Aftercare
f1Connect
f1Connect allows you to help families through their grief journey by subscribing to daily email affirmations, watching interactive grief videos, engaging in group grief support sessions and access to a library of grief resources. You're positioned as the grief expert in your community.
Your website
Your website directs visitors to other websites for grief resources, or even worse, doesn't have grief resources at all.
Creating Connections / Viral
f1Connect
f1Connect websites are viral by design. They contain valuable content and interactive features, including memorial websites, that families proactively share. We make sharing your f1Connect website easy through our social media integration.
Your website
Most families don't share your website with others because it's static and doesn't contain helpful information and resources. Even if families do want to pass your site along, your website has no sharing mechanisms other than manually copying the link and pasting it into an email.
Search Engine Optimization / Ability to be Found
f1Connect
We studied the terms families search for in relation to funeral services to scientifically engineer our f1Connect websites to ensure they are indexed to rank well within search results.
Your website
Your website provider doesn't keep up with new technology and doesn't know much about SEO. Your website is probably hard to find when prospective families query.
The Granny Test
f1Connect
f1Connect websites pass The Granny Test with flying colors. With years of research, we've created intuitive websites that are easy to navigate, even for a computer novice.
Your website
Most funeral websites are designed without the end-user in mind and do not follow current website standards, thus failing The Granny Test.
Design Library
f1Connect
We have a library of fresh, stunning website designs that comfort and soothe families while encouraging them to celebrate the life lived. Our portfolio of websites contains designs by world-class artists from companies such as Disney and Pixar.
Your website
More than likely, your website consists of drab, dreary colors that convey a sense of mourning. Your website provider hasn't updated their designs within the last five years.
You’re in Control
f1Connect
f1Connect's administration process makes it easy to control and update your website in-house- saving you time and money.
Your website
Many providers control your website updates and changes. If you do have access to your website's backend, it's often lacking capabilities that should be standard and difficult to use.
Website Set-Up
f1Connect
With f1Connect, it's easy to make the switch. Just choose us and we'll do all of the work.
Your website
Other website providers make you do the heavy-lifting to get your website up and running.
Grows with Your Business
f1Connect
f1Connect websites have the ability to grow and adapt to your business' always evolving needs. Our platform allows you to expand your website as your business grows by adding on additional features and applications.
Your website
Your website will always be as it is today. Most website providers don't give their clients the opportunity to upgrade or expand their site. When you want to add something new, you may be stuck investing in another redesign.
Product Range
f1Connect
From our f1Connect website platform to the LifeTributes all-in-one Personalization Software Suite, funeralOne has the solutions you need to attract families and create healing experiences while transforming your business.
Your website
Your website provider doesn't offer the all of the solutions your firm needs; you're stuck working with multiple vendors.
Support
f1Connect
Your business never sleeps - neither does f1Connect's Epic Support team. We're there for you 24/7.
Your website
It's likely that your website's support team sends your call to voicemail. You're lucky if you hear back.
