This is why they are a strong and thriving company, celebrating 50 years in business. Congratulations Nomis Publications, and now on to your next 50 years! In the past five years HearseHub has logged over 500,000 vehicle views. Now, for companies like Amazon, Google, or Walmart, whose market is everyone with an Internet connection, this is probably a mere 30-minute number for them. But HearseHub is not like those companies. HearseHub caters exclusively to the funeral industry, a very small marketplace. HearseHub was the brainchild of Peggy Rouzzo, editor of the Funeral Home & Cemetery News. She saw a need for an Internet marketplace like this years ago. She envisioned a website that only included business grade funeral vehicles, but more importantly, one that a funeral director could purchase from and be confident that the vehicle they were purchasing, often sight unseen, would be as advertised. A safe purchase may be the most important aspect of HearseHub, given today’s world of questionable Internet practices and bad players. From day one, HearseHub’s vehicle inventory has HearseHub Reaches 500,000 Vehicle Views been entirely made up of business grade funeral vehicles. By rule, you won’t find passenger vehicles or “Halloween” hearses on it. Occasionally one of these might slip into the inventory, but those sellers would be better off parking the vehicle in front of their house with a “For Sale” sign. Why? Because HearseHub is only advertised in Nomis Publication’s Funeral Home and Cemetery News publication and on their website. This makes its market exclusively the funeral industry. As for a safe vehicle purchase, this is the hallmark of HearseHub. HearseHub’s inventory is almost entirely made up of vehicles from well-known and reputable funeral vehicle dealerships, many of which have been in business for over 50 years. A few vehicles will be from private sellers, but even those are almost entirely from funeral homes. This makes HearseHub a safe marketplace for finding and buying funeral vehicles with confidence.

Booth #2258 WAKEFIELD,NH — Funeral directors use their expertise in helping people through the mourning and grief process to ensure that families manage their death experience in the best way possible. Personalized bookmarks can be a cathartic way to deal with grief. Offering families the option of creating a custom-designed, laminated bookmark that is specific to their loved one’s hobbies and life can be beneficial for both the funeral home and the family. After receiving orders from families whose funeral homes did not offer bookmarks as an option, Celebrating Life Bookmarks has designed a packet specifically for funeral homes, hospices, and doulas. Available in packets of 6, 10, 15, or 25, everything is included that your family needs to create a keepsake laminated bookmark using a selection of borders, symbols, and poems that they will cherish for years to come. Families will receive two pages of borders and symbols, two pages of poems, one coded order form, and instructions on submitting their information. Funeral homes can keep a few of the packets in various sizes on hand for requests. Little is required of the funeral home as the family fills out the information once they are home. All future questions are directed to Celebrating Life Bookmarks. Celebrating Life Bookmarks has been offering solace and healing to families in the United States and Canada for over 25 years. The online ordering process is simple and allows people to order and receive a proof for their approval within 48 hours. Bookmarks are not printed until a final approval from the family has been received. Upon approval, the customer will receive their bookmarks within 7-10 days. Each bookmark is infused with a healing energy similar to reiki with the intention of bringing solace and healing to those in mourning.
