Page B4 MAY 2023 FUNERAL HOME & CEMETERY NEWS Section B Booth 1529 MIDDLETON,WI— Tribute Technology is launching a new tool that will help families write obituaries utilizing the benefits of artificial intelligence. Tribute Obituary Writer allows family members to share details about their loved one and will create a unique written version of an obituary in seconds. With just a few clicks, families can recreate the obituary by sharing different details or selecting from various tone options in the Obituary Writer. The family can then choose the style that best reflects their loved one’s life and edit the content as needed before submitting the obituary. “Our team at Tribute Technology focuses on creating software specifically engineered for funeral homes, crematory operators, and cemeteries, and this is another example of how we are constantly improving to help funeral homes serve grieving families even better,” said Tribute Technology Chief Customer Officer Courtney Gould Miller. “Often, family members are to upset or intimidated to write a complete obituary for their loved one. This task then falls to the funeral home staff, who have many other details to consider in a short time frame. This tool comforts and empowers families because they now can have the ability to easily craft a unique obituary that honors their loved one.” This state-of-the-art software asks for the important details’ family members would want to include in an obituary, such as information about their loved one’s career, personal and professional achievements, interests, and hobbies. Families can add as much or as little information as they like. There is also the ability to change the tone of the writing — ranging from poetic or religious to playful or witty – families can also adjust a setting that allows for longer and more intricate text.

Light A Candle Song Now Available as a Single Download at Griefsong.com CEO Pat Alexander. “The Alexander family has always been grounded in faith and approaching our business and people with the humility of a servant’s heart — that we’re all in this together to help one another succeed.” “I see firsthand how our core values come to life every day, which can be summed up by our interpretation of the word HONOR,” O’Connor continued (see sidebar). “It’s all about asking the right questions: ‘Are we operating with honesty and integrity?’ ‘Are we delivering on our promises?’ ‘Are we exploring every possible angle to a challenge?’ Having such questions top of mind keeps our people engaged and our customers satisfied, which ultimately leads to strong bottom-line performance.” O’Connor said that part of staying close to employees involves being open and transparent with them. One example is providing quarterly updates to openly share business results and forecasts with the entire company. The leadership team also makes frequent onsite visits to all company locations. Excited for the Future O’Connor acknowledged that as the pace of change continues to accelerate in the markets Coldspring serves, the company will adhere to many of the same fundamentals that have served the business so well over the last 125 years. “It goes back to being innovative and nimble, and finding a way to navigate through the uncertainties of the current environment,” he said. “At our core, we believe if we focus on our people, lead with a servant’s heart, live our core values and problem-solve as a team, we will continue to lead the industry for the next century and beyond. We couldn’t be more thrilled about what’s to come.” To learn more about Coldspring, visit www.coldspringusa.com.
