Obituaries Are the First Step to Good Marketing — Here’s What Comes Next 

Helping families share, remember, and stay connected long after the service. 


Obituaries are often the most visited and shared content on a funeral home’s website. They reflect care, attention, and a moment when the community is paying attention. 


But what happens after that moment? 


Tribute Technology helps funeral homes carry that attention forward — offering ways to stay connected with families and communities beyond the initial visit. 



Obituaries Are a Starting Point 


Families aren’t thinking about digital tools. They’re focused on remembering someone they love. 


That’s why it’s important to make obituaries easy to share, simple to navigate, and meaningful to engage with — not just in the moment, but over time. Tribute Technology supports that process, helping funeral homes offer an experience that continues after the obituary is posted. 



Ways Tribute Technology Supports the Obituary Experience 


Sharing That Feels Natural 
Built-in tools make it easy for families to share obituaries by text, email, or social media — helping others learn about the death and take part in honoring the person’s life. 


More Ways to Stay Involved 
Visitors can leave messages, send flowers or plant trees, or choose to receive memorial reminders. These features invite participation and support, even from those who live far away or hear the news later. 


Structured for Search 
Obituaries are formatted so that they can be found easily through search engines and AI tools, helping people find the information they need without confusion. 


Clarity on What’s Happening 
Funeral homes can see how obituary pages are being used — how often they’re viewed, shared, or interacted with — offering a fuller picture of how people are engaging. 



What Makes a Strong Obituary — and Why That’s Only the Start 


The most helpful obituaries often include: 


  • A thoughtful life story 
  • A recent photo 
  • Service details and livestream links 
  • A space for memories and condolences 
  • Options to send flowers, donate, or plant a tree 
  • Tools for easy sharing 
  • Mobile-friendly formatting 


These pieces work together to make the obituary more accessible and supportive. But for many funeral homes, the real value comes in continuing to offer connection and care after the obituary is posted. 


Tribute Technology helps make that possible. Learn more about Tribute Websites right here.

WAUNAKEE, Wisconsin — Sept. 29, 2025 — Tribute Technology has announced the launch of a suite of new artificial intelligence tools designed to reduce administrative work for funeral professionals, cut down on online spam, and create a smoother online experience for families. The new features — including AI-powered guest book moderation , automated event detail capture , and dynamic spam filtering for online forms — are now live on Tribute Technology websites and will be rolled out to all clients this fall. In addition, every client will receive complimentary access to the AI Tribute Obituary Writer, the company’s award-winning tool that helps create meaningful obituaries in minutes. “These advancements reflect our commitment to building technology that gives funeral homes time back while giving families a dignified and respectful online experience,” said Matt Powell, Chief Technology Officer at Tribute Technology. “By integrating AI directly into the websites our clients already use, we’re cutting out unnecessary steps, automating repetitive tasks, and freeing up staff to focus on the families they serve. All while giving families a better online experience.” Among the new features is an AI guest book and form moderation system, which automatically reviews condolence messages and submissions to screen out spam, offensive remarks, or irrelevant content. Another tool, AI event capture , identifies and pulls service details like visitation times directly into the obituary editor, reducing the need for manual entry. Tribute Technology has also introduced AI dynamic form moderation, which filters out junk inquiries before they hit a funeral home’s inbox. Together, the tools create a smoother, safer online environment while cutting down on routine tasks. To further support funeral professionals, Tribute Technology is including the AI Tribute Obituary Writer for all website clients at no additional cost. The tool drafts polished obituary text in minutes, helping funeral directors provide families with meaningful tributes without adding to their workload. “This isn’t about replacing human judgment — it’s about eliminating the mindless tasks that steal time from what matters,” said Courtney Gould Miller, President of Commercial Markets at Tribute Technology. “What sets these tools apart is the real impact for funeral homes: less time lost to spam, forms, and data entry, and more time to focus on families. We’re not using AI because it’s trendy. We’re using it because funeral homes need every advantage they can get, and if technology gives back even 30 minutes a day to spend with families, or with your own family, that time is priceless.” The tools began rolling out in August and will be available to all Tribute Technology clients this fall without the need for setup, training, or disruption. About Tribute Technology Tribute Technology empowers funeral professionals with best-in-class software solutions, serving over 9,000 providers worldwide. Its innovative offerings — including websites, marketing solutions, management software, online planning, memorial keepsakes, and payment processing — help funeral professionals save time and focus on families.
