To protect its tropical rainforests and still create jobs in a growing furniture industry, Indonesia plants and maintains large plan- tations of teak and mahog- any trees, harvesting a lim- ited number of the trees each year and immediate- ly replanting the areas har- vested. Lyle’s personal and business relationships with the business managers in Indonesia assured a regular supply of urns and a high level of quality control. When Lyle and Diane took over the business in 1991, the name of the com- pany was changed to Pacif- ic Traditions. After Lyle re- tired in 2003 andDiane was named to a judgeship on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, they passed the business to their daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and David Lyon, in Fort Smith, AR. David and Kathy operated the busi- ness for several years. In 2009, once their sons com- pleted college, they sold Pa- cific Traditions to Rich- ard and Sharon Purcell, long-time customers and owners of Holcomb-Hen- ry-Boom-Purcell Funer- al Homes & Cremation Services located in St. Paul, MN. In October 2009, Lyle Brenneman accom- panied Richard and Sha- ron Purcell to Indonesia to meet the producers and set up a production agreement, continuing the long-time company relationship.

The release of a new barcode tracking mobile app that is integrated with Passare’s arrangement application allows funeral home staff to scan barcodes assigned to decedents, locations, and personal effects quickly and easily using a mobile device. The new Trade case type will allow customers to track trade work including trade embalming, removals and cremations. Their partnership with The Domani Group offers a streamlined process for automatical- ly enrolling families served into the Domanicare service, a text messag- ing-based aftercare program. The Barcode App is available to Pas- sare subscribers at no additional cost. “Many of our funeral home custom- ers were spending a lot of time man- ually tracking decedent transfers us- ing a very time-consuming process,” said Passare CEO, Jay Thomas. “It’s a process that is inherently flawed, and can lead to errors, which opens up a firm to liability. Passare’s app gives funeral homes a scalable model for establishing a very reliable chain of custody system that ensures that they are offering the highest standard of care to the families they serve.” The app allows funeral home staff to scan barcodes as- signed to decedents and personal items and tie those bar- codes to a person, a time, and a location using the phone’s map coordinates. Funeral homes can also assign scanna- ble barcodes to locations such as prep rooms, viewing rooms, or refrigeration units. Unlike any other software or app in the funeral profession, Passare’s app allows fu- neral homes to track any disposition type and provides access to vital tracking information anytime, anywhere, using any device. “Our customers who have tested the app are telling us that it has made their lives so much easier,” said Chris Baber, vice president and chief product officer. “It adds another layer of protection to an organization and gives families peace of mind about the transfer process. The best thing about this latest version of the app is that it in- tegrates with your entire case management system in Pas- sare. So, any time you need to know the location of a de- cedent or his or her personal belongings, you can go right to that case and find the information you need in the app or in the main platform.” “The new Trade Case type feature has been designed for funeral businesses that provide outsourced trade work to other funeral homes,” said Thomas. “The required infor- mation on these cases is much different from your typical funeral case, so we’ve created a dedicated type of case to help funeral businesses track these types of cases.” Trade cases can be tracked individually and used for custom reporting to help funeral professionals under- stand business trends and prepare for the future needs of the business. “The trade case feature has been a major request from customers who perform trade cases and even from pro- spective customers whose sole business model is based on trade work in the funeral profession,” said Chris Baber , vice president and chief prod- uct officer. “We are proud to be the funeral profession’s most ad- vanced case management sys- tem, which now includes this key piece for tracking, managing, and reporting on trade cases.” The Domani Group partner- ship allows mutual clients of Passare and Domani an auto- mated report set up that sends contact information for family and friends on archived cases to Domani to be enrolled for fol- low-up through Domani’s text messaging service. “We began talking with The Domani Group several months ago and working together just seemed like a win-win for everyone, especially our mutual clients,” said Thom- as. “Domani is offering some very exciting features for their text-based aftercare program, including Google review generation and a free online grief platform for families, Domani for Grief. We are excited to be part- nering with them to make this service even more acces- sible for our clients.” “The beauty of this automation is that it essentially runs itself,” said Baber. “If you are a client of Domanicare, we can help you set up the report and then you never have to think about it again. It just runs on a schedule, a set it and forget it type of thing. But you can rest assured knowing that each family you have served will be receiv- ing follow up through Domanicare.” In addition, The Domani Group is offering Passare cli- ents a free 60-day trial of Domanicare for those who are not currently receiving the service. Passare is the funeral profession’s only funeral home col- laboration software with integrated business management tools. Through Passare, funeral directors can connect and communicate with families and access case information anytime, anywhere, using any internet-connected device. Offering unlimited users, un-limited devices, unlimited updates, and 24/7 customer support, Passare is helping funeral staff to save time, streamline processes, and spend more quality time with the families they serve and with their own families at home.

NORTHBROOK,IL— AmpliVox Sound Systems now has 360 Spin Images for many of its leading products, enabling customers to interact with products online, almost as if they were actually holding the products to closely examine them. The new images let you spin the product around to see all different sides, and to zoom in on important features, such as product controls. This is especially helpful when evaluating the features of more technical products. The 360 spin images actually consist of many sepa- rate photo images that are put together using a special viewer, which makes it appear that the product is be- ing spun around to different angles. 360 spin images are being utilized by many lead- ing merchants including Amazon. According to Forbes magazine, merchants utilizing the technology have ex- perienced both an increase in sales, and a reduction in customer returns, because consumers can more accu- rately evaluate what they are buying. In addition to having the 360 spin images on its website, AmpliVox is now making the images avail- able for resellers to utilize as a selling tool, either by embedding the AmpliVox viewer in their website, or by downloading the images and installing their own viewer. Instructions can be found at www.Ampli.com. “We always try to make it easy for consumers to eval- uate our products,” said Don Roth , AmpliVox CEO. “It’s part of our passion for customer service. 360 spin images are an emerging technology that we will be em- ploying to ever greater benefit in the future.” AmpliVox Sound Systems products are predomi- nantly made in the USA, meet stringent CE standards, and come with a warranty up to 12 years.
