Offer Popular New Options to Your Website Visitors 

In times of loss, friends and loved ones are increasingly seeking unique ways to show support to grieving families. 


Why not offer these touching and sentimental gifts directly through your firm’s website? Not only will this make it easier for families to receive keepsakes, but it’s also easier for their loved ones to find gifts within their budgets and preferences. 


You can enable Tribute Store on your Tribute Website or through most of our Premier Partner websites, such as CFS. Our Gift Guide is available through our meal delivery offerings. You can view all the options here. 


If you have any questions about available products, if you want to turn on eCommerce options for your funeral home, or if you want to change your preferred florist, please reach out to funeralhomes@tributestore.com for assistance. 


What We Offer Your Families 

Every partner you see in the Gift Guide section has been carefully selected, ensuring top-quality products and customer service for families. Below, we’ve highlighted these special keepsakes. 


Sympathy Meals and Gift Baskets

Through our partner, Harry & David, your website visitors can send a made-to-order meal or a sympathy basket directly to a grieving family. Their thoughtful gesture will be delivered at no cost within two to five business days. There are many options available for dietary restrictions, including vegan and shiva meals. Check out the full list of available meals here.


“The basket we chose was for a sympathy gift for a friend. He said it was beautiful, and he was touched by the gesture. I chose this particular basket because it was subtle, sweet, and thoughtfully arranged. I feel it was a perfect balance of a charming and sensible sympathy gift.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 24, 2025 Contact For Further Information: Tribute Technology 315 Raemisch Rd., Ste G Waunakee, WI, 53597 press@tributetech.com Tribute Technology Announces Obit360: A Reimagined Obituary Experience for the Digital Age WAUNAKEE, WI – Tribute Technology has announced the upcoming launch of Obit360 , a next-generation obituary platform that transforms how families and communities engage with online memorials. Obit360 is the most significant evolution of Tribute Technology’s obituary experience to date, delivering a faster, more intuitive, and emotionally resonant design built for today’s digital expectations. Optimized for mobile, powered by improved SEO, and designed to increase engagement and revenue, Obit360 helps funeral homes better serve families while elevating their online presence. “Obit360 is the result of listening closely to our clients and the families they serve,” said Craig Greenseid, CEO of Tribute Technology. “We knew the obituary experience needed to evolve — so we built something faster, smarter, and more personal. Obit360 helps funeral homes create deeper connections and greater value from their websites.” Matt Powell, Tribute Technology’s Chief Technology Officer, added, “We’re seeing a fundamental shift in how families connect and grieve, and it’s happening online. In the first 48 hours after a death, more than 25% of all obituary traffic occurs, and that traffic is not passive. It drives condolence messages, flower orders, donations, even attendance. Obit360 was built to meet this moment: to turn every obituary into an engine of connection, compassion, and community, and to help funeral homes turn visibility into real-world impact.” Built for the Way People Engage Today Obit360 was designed using real user behavior, family feedback, and industry best practices. It introduces a clean, scrollable layout that places details all in one continuous view — no tabs or extra clicks required. With 70–80% of visitors arriving on mobile, the platform delivers a smooth, intuitive experience on any device while keeping the focus on the loved one being honored. Pages load 30% faster, rank higher in search results, and display sympathy gift options directly within the tribute — leading to a 60% increase in purchases. The straightforward design helps reduce confusion, minimizing support calls from families and guests. Real Results for Funeral Homes Firms using Obit360 report major improvements: obituary page visits have increased by 97%, condolence messages by 86%, and sympathy gift purchases by 60%. With fewer support requests, stronger engagement, and a more modern online presence, funeral homes are deepening their connection with families while elevating their digital brand. Available Soon Obit360 will be available first to funeral homes on Tribute Technology’s Premier Partner Network, with expanded availability to follow. Members of the media with questions about Tribute Technology or any of the company’s products and services are asked to contact press@tributetech.com .
