Well our new WordPress sites are finally up and running. We have a new look for the cremation society as well as our funeral home. If you have a chance take a look at them… your comments would be appreciated.

This article appeared two days ago in the Shreveport Times.  It certainly speaks to our industries current situation with regards to the recession and the increasing trend towards cremation.

Our New WordPress Site

October 21, 2010

Well, our new site is almost up and running. We have hired one of the premier funeral home consultants and web marketing experts in our industry to build our new Lone Star Cremation Society and Mayfield Kiser Funeral Home web sites. As soon as we have our site up and running I will post the Link on this blog.

If there is one single question that we are asked more often than any other it is how many death certificates should a family order?  The easy answer is at least six.  The reason for this is simple, The State of Texas charges $21 for the first copy and $4 for each additional copy.  If a family does not order enough copies and has to reorder they will pay $21 again for the first copy.  They will also have to go to the County Clerk in Fort Worth or City Hall in Dallas.  If you have ever had to go to either of these offices you surly understand why ordering a few extra death certificates when you pay for your Lone Star Cremation just makes sense.

Thumbies

October 13, 2010

Combining the wonders of modern scanning technology with the ancient technique of lost wax casting, the prints are fashioned into artistic and intricately detailed jewelry. These charms are truly the ultimate keepsake gift idea for a loved one – or for yourself! They are a touching way to remember a parent, spouse, sibling, child, or friend and to keep their memories alive and close to you in your everyday life.  Thumbies are available for all our Lone Star Cremation customers and also our Mayfeld Kiser Funeral Home families.

Our parent company has recently invested in the technology to enable us to webcast funerals and memorial services from our Fort Worth Funeral Home. Sadly, most families experience this unfortunate reality. Many mourners are unable to attend funerals due to illness, travel expenses or simply living too far from the funeral service. Friends and family members not afforded this memory are limited to participation via the telephone, cards of sympathy and flowers.

However, today’s technology has changed the way distant friends and families can participate in memorial services. Live and on-demand funeral webcasting from Lake Shore Funeral Home, offers friends and family members access to special memorial services regardless of their location or circumstances. Lake Shore Funeral Home’s unique service provides friends and family members a secure and private connection to the memorial service via the Internet.
