We also now have greater leverage on the product’s quality control, enabling us to extend the warranty from one to three years. The Ti- tan joins our growing array of made-in-the-USA PA sys- tems, lecterns, and multimedia furniture.” The Titan PA is designed and built for power, portability, convenience, expandability, and reliability. The 100 watt amplifier broadcasts strong, clear sound to audiences up to 2,500. The built-in UHF wireless receiver insures free- dom of movement up to 100 feet. The 96-channel receiver syncs easily to assure interference-free communication. “To coin a word that sums up all the Brilliantly Blue Ti- tan has to offer,” said Roth, “we would say it’s ‘blue-tiful’.” To learn more about AmpliVox Sound Systems’ prod- ucts, visit Ampli.com.

OGDEN,UT— Aftercare.com has joined the team at Tuki- os, the leading provider of tribute video software. Both com- panies have a very simple value proposition for funeral homes and will continue to lead in their respective categories.

They also have an automated texting solution that does the follow-up for the funeral director, creat- ing engaging conversations and driving customer reviews. Curtis Funk, the founder and CEO of Tukios, believes that this is an excellent step forward for both companies. “We are very excited to work with Ellery and the team at Af- tercare,” Funk said. “We have a very similar vision of creating software that does the work for the funeral director and we are looking forward to making the lives of our clients easier in more ways.” Tukios has over 5,000 funeral homes using their simple vid- eo creation software. As this number has grown, their cus- tomers have been requesting expansion. Ellery Bowker, the founder and CEO of Aftercare.com had this to say; “I believe that a lot of our success, and the success that Tukios has had, can be attributed to the fact that we re- ally put the customer first. We work with them and try to imagine ourselves in their shoes. Then we create simple solu- tions to heal the pain points that they are feeling.” Tukios is the leading Tribute Video Software in the indus- try.
