The Power of Comment Engagement:
Building Stronger Connections on Social Media 

How Responding to Comments Drives Real Results 



Social media isn’t just about posting obituaries or service information. It’s a powerful tool for creating genuine connections and building relationships that go beyond traditional marketing. 


For funeral homes, it’s about reaching families in your community and offering them a human connection that shows you care. 


Families today crave authenticity, and your social media platforms give you a unique opportunity to engage with people on a personal level. By responding to comments, having real conversations, and showing you’re listening, you can create relationships that go beyond simply gaining followers. When you build these kinds of connections, you’re not just increasing your audience — you’re building trust and loyalty. 


It might feel like handling comments is a never-ending task, but every comment is an opportunity to connect, show your personality, and, most importantly, build trust. 



Why Engaging with Comments is So Important 


  • Builds Trust & Loyalty: People want to engage with brands that take the time to acknowledge them. Responding to comments turns passive followers into active community members who feel connected to your brand. 
  • Improves Your Visibility: Social media algorithms reward active engagement. The more you interact with your followers, the more likely your posts are to be seen, shared, and commented on. This creates a cycle of increased visibility and engagement. 
  • Personalizes Your Brand: A thoughtful response can make your brand feel more personal. It shows your audience they’re engaging with a real person, not a faceless company. Small gestures, like thanking someone for their feedback, go a long way. 
  • Fosters Community: Social media is all about community. Engaging with your followers in the comments means you’re not just broadcasting messages—you’re building conversations. This mutual exchange helps you create deeper, more meaningful relationships.

Waunakee, Wisconsin – November 5, 2025 Partnership Provides Client Families Access to Budget-Friendly Payment Plans while Strengthening Funeral Homes and Reducing Accounts Receivable Tribute Technology has announced a new partnership with Family Shield Credit, the first fintech platform designed by funeral professionals to offer flexible, budget-friendly payment options for funeral homes and their client families. This collaboration integrates Family Shield's proven financing platform into Tribute Technology’s ecosystem, making it easier than ever for funeral homes to provide families with the services they need without the burden of immediate financial constraints. “Family Shield offers a crucial solution that allows families to make decisions based on what they truly want for their loved ones, not just what they can afford at the moment,” said Craig Greenseid, CEO of Tribute Technology. “By working with Family Shield, we’re adding another layer to the Tribute Technology platform, giving funeral homes the ability to offer more comprehensive services while improving their financial health at the same time.” Key Benefits for Funeral Homes The partnership with Family Shield brings several key advantages to funeral homes. Funeral homes receive direct payment from Family Shield, typically within 48 hours of the client’s service, eliminating the delays and uncertainties associated with waiting for estate settlements, life insurance disbursements, or property sales. This helps improve cash flow and reduce accounts receivable. Homes using Family Shield see an average 30% increase in total spend per family. Flexible payment plans empower families to select the services and memorials they truly want, rather than settling due to immediate financial constraints. Family Shield’s platform provides fast underwriting and approval decisions through a proprietary fintech portal, streamlining the application process. There is no paperwork or manual review required, making it easy for funeral homes to offer this option to families. Tribute Technology funeral homes can quickly onboard through an automated online portal. Ongoing webinars and training are available to help funeral directors confidently present these payment options to families. Combined with Tribute Technology’s existing Tribute Pay payment platform, this exciting partnership with Family Shield creates a comprehensive financial solution for funeral directors. “Our goal is to help funeral homes serve families with compassion and respect, and this partnership directly aligns with that mission,” said Dan Solecki Sr., Co-Founder and President at Family Shield Credit. “With Family Shield, funeral homes can streamline their payment processes, improve cash flow, and offer families the peace of mind they deserve.” About Family Shield Family Shield Credit provides flexible payment solutions for funeral homes and their clients, offering families peace of mind during difficult times. Families can borrow funds to cover funeral expenses, relieving the stress of immediate payments and providing much-needed time. Learn more at familyshieldcredit.com .
