As our environment continues to experience frequent change, safeguarding your business by remaining vigilant and adapting to the world around you is becoming increasingly important.

These days, everything is digital-first, including obituaries — but are you benefiting from your website as much as you can? Are you up to date on the latest ways users can memorialize their loved ones?

The most common reasons people choose a funeral home are location, word of mouth, and — most importantly — the personal experiences they have had organizing or attending a funeral with your funeral home. This could be attendance in person or online through a live-streamed service.

Funeral home websites have been in constant evolution since the development of the internet in the early 1990s.

Legacy Touch is well known for helping families across the world honor the lives of their loved ones through high-quality personalized and engraved fingerprint and cremation jewelry.

Problems with recruitment and retention are being felt across all sectors today, but funeral service is feeling the blow especially hard, as recruiting new employees and keeping them on for longer than five years has been a challenge to this profession for a long time.

Legacy Pro, Legacy.com's newest program to enhance the funeral home search experience by spotlighting trusted local funeral home partners, has just surpassed 5,000 funeral homes enrolled.
