Happy National Funeral Director & Mortician Recognition Day From Tribute Technology

December 1, 2022

This week was the National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day, an important occasion for us here at Tribute Technology While it is pretty awesome that an entire day is dedicated to celebrating the lovely men, women and families that sacrifice their lives to help others, we like to show our appreciation all year-round. So, we have decided to put together a short video thanking funeral directors for all that they do and showing our appreciation. 


Getting a chance to work closely with so many funeral homes across North America and the world is a true blessing. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank each and every funeral director for their service to families, role in their communities and helping to make our world a better, more caring place. In addition to the video, we thought it would be a good idea to share a few more things we love about funeral directors and say some more thank you’s. if you have something wonderful to share about being a funeral director or about a funeral director in your community, let’s keep it going in the comments below. 


Thank you for… 


Being Available 24/7 


No matter what, you can count on a funeral director to be there whenever they are needed. And for families that do require their services, it is a wonderful thing to know that they will be there during difficult times to help. 


Working Holidays 


When everyone else sets aside time to take a break from it all, funeral directors get up and put their work suit on. It is a unique thing to be needed constantly. I mean Superman became famous for not taking holidays, but funeral directors don’t either. It’s true what they say, not all heroes wear capes. 


Long Nights and Short Weekends 


Much like holidays, when everyone else is done their work day or finishing up their week, funeral directors are ready and willing to step up to the plate for their communities. There is no such thing as a guaranteed night off or long-weekend. And for that, funeral directors deserve a big round of applause. 


Missing Out On Your Own Family’s Events To Be There For Others 


One of the most selfless and admirable parts of a funeral director’s job, is to set aside their own family to be there for others. It is definitely something worth celebrating that there is a group of people ready to sacrifice their own family time to provide much-needed services. 


Being Integral Parts Of Your Communities 


Whether it is hosting community gatherings, donating to charity, volunteering time or any other form of contribution, we work with funeral homes who do truly amazing things for their communities and service areas. In addition, we hear from community members all the time how much they have been positively impacted by the funeral home near them. Keep up the great work. 


Inspiring Us and Making What We Do Worth it  


Last but not least we must thank you for inspiring us, here at Tribute Technology, to do what we do each and every day. Without hard-working funeral directors, our job would not be nearly as rewarding. Knowing that we help funeral directors in turn help the families makes every day worth it. 


Please continue spreading the love for funeral directors by commenting below. You are invited to share some stories, thanks or kind messages on our Facebook page as well. Once again, from all of us at Tribute Technology, thank you funeral directors. Give yourselves a pat on the back for all you do.

Tribute Technology is partnering with Homesteaders Life Company, one of the most trusted names in funeral service, to make preneed policy management easier for funeral homes.
October 22, 2025
Waunakee, Wisconsin – October 22, 2025 Tribute Technology is partnering with Homesteaders Life Company, one of the most trusted names in funeral service, to make it easier for funeral homes to manage preneed policies. The planned integration, coming in 2026, will connect Homesteaders’ policy data directly with Tribute Management Software, allowing funeral directors to see and link matching preneed policies right from a case. Policy information will update automatically each night, so directors always have the most current details without sorting through paperwork or entering data twice. “At Homesteaders, we’re committed to offering financial support, expertise, and partnerships that bring value to funeral professionals and the families we serve together,” said Steve Shaffer, Homesteaders President, CEO and Board Chair. “This planned integration with Tribute Technology helps simplifies the preneed management process, giving funeral providers easier access to the information they need so they can focus more fully on designing meaningful experiences for the families they serve.” For funeral homes, this will mean fewer errors, faster workflows, and peace of mind knowing every available fund is captured and applied correctly. Families will benefit too, with less back-and-forth over documents and a smoother, more professional experience. “Funeral directors carry an enormous responsibility, and every minute spent searching for paperwork is a minute taken away from serving families,” said Courtney Gould Miller, President of Commercial Markets at Tribute Technology. “This upcoming integration with Homesteaders takes something complex and makes it simple. It’s about giving time back to the professionals who give so much of themselves every day.” This is the first of several planned integrations designed to connect Tribute Management Software with multiple preneed partners. Together, these systems will help funeral homes work more efficiently and better support the families they serve.
