Loving Eulogies Strengthens Ever Growing DCIS Alliance

Loving Eulogies agreed last week to become part of what is proving to be an ever-expanding list of very select, consumer oriented, Internet companies comprising what is being called the Death Care Internet Services Alliance (DCIS Alliance).

Loving Eulogies provides consumers with professional and yet highly personalized services to help individuals and families create memorable eulogies and tributes for families tasked with saying goodbye to a loved one at the time of death.

DCIS, the Death Care Internet Services Alliance, was begun in early 2005 by its current director Robert W. Ward, founder of The Final Arrangements Network, a consumer death care information organization, to address the millions of consumers looking for quality information about death care, cemetery property as well as funeral and cremation services using the Internet.

“It was a thrill for me to know we were going to get Ms Shepardson’s Loving Eulogies organization as a member of the Alliance. The professionalism combined with their personal services’ touch makes Jan’s Loving Eulogies a perfect fit for us. We are constantly looking out there on the Net for those special companies that have the consumer paramount in that organization’s mission statement and their ability to deliver quality services and products to those consumers at one of the worst moments of their lives, the loss of a loved one. Loving Eulogies fits our criteria to a tee.” Said DCIS director Ward.

“Loving Eulogies is always anxious to partner with credible agencies who allow respectful and affordable options at the time of death” said Jan Shepardson, owner and author of www.lovingeulogies.com.

“As an internet based business, this help is there when it is needed most – 24 hours a day – 7 days a week – and personal, prompt help is always available just a click away.

“We look forward to a long relationship with DCIS and are thankful to Bob Ward and his company for allowing us to partner with them.”

A DCIS invitation for membership apparently is not easily obtained. When asked what determines who gets invited to become a member, Ward stated, “The Alliance’s criteria, to extend a membership invitation, are fairly specific. We look for death care service companies that serve the consumer and use the Internet as a key tool in that service. These companies must be providing services and products that have the consumer in mind and go that extra mile in services to provide more that just an easier way to make a credit card transaction, so typical of the current state of death care services prevalent on the Internet today.”

“There is a real need for synergy in the death care industry and this is the beginning of it.” DCIS's director had said in an earlier interview, explaining why the alliance was begun in the first place.

Ward went on to point out that, “The consumers have already begun changing their interaction with our industry and we are just trying to catch up with them.”

“They, the consumers, expect access to precise information on funeral homes, cemeteries, cremation, genealogy, obituaries, eulogies, etc. when they need it. Loving Eulogies fits in so perfectly because of its attention to one of the most difficult of duties for a family at the moment one of their loved ones has died, the Eulogy to honor a loved one’s life.”

“Consumers are learning, hopefully through our efforts at DCIS, that this intensity of information resources is available to them and is only a click of their mouse away on the Internet. This alliance with Loving Eulogies and our previous alliances with our other member organizations, as well as, those to come will hopefully satisfy that expectation from the death care industry.” Ward added.

Members of DCIS include such Internet high profile companies such as The Final Arrangements Network, referred to as “the Library of Congress of Death Care” by one Insurance Company executive, has been providing consumers with information, guidance and education on funeral, cremation and cemetery service final arrangements for several years and is the custodian of the Cemetery Registry database of cemetery property for sale in the US and Canada by private owners.

Internet marketing company, New Concept Consultants’ The Cemetery Registry is also a DCIS member. TCR besides offering final arrangements planning information along with caskets, urns and grave markers for sale, is also the official public Internet access to the database, that bears its name. The Cemetery Registry database itself, through its staff of cemetery property specialists, maintains oversight on thousands of US and Canadian registered cemetery properties for sale as well as offers from consumers to buy. In addition, TCR offers funeral and burial goods for sale including; caskets, cremation urns, grave markers direct to the consumer.

Throughout the year DCIS membership has steadily been growing and now includes such consumer oriented organizations as the Internet’s ObituaryCentral.com and its sister website ObitLinksPage.com. Both have been mainstays of the Internet for several years. These highly visible portals provide the consumer and industry professionals with vast resource capabilities in the areas of obituary, memorial and tribute publishing and research; genealogy investigation; funeral and cemetery services market by market search.

Another DCIS alliance member is publisher MCR. MCR is best known for its widely circulated consumer funeral-planning guide Let The Choice Be Mine, one of the most thorough and easy to use, personal funeral planning books available to consumers. Thousands of copies of the guide are in circulation and used by funeral homes, churches, attorneys, consumers and service groups throughout the world.

“We are just so thrilled to know Jan’s Loving Eulogies could spare some time to help with DCIS’s mission to inform the consumer.” Director Ward concluded.
