October 25, 2024

Waunakee, Wisconsin – October 25, 2024 – Tribute Technology, the leader in innovative website and software solutions for the funeral profession, announces a leadership transition as part of its continued commitment to drive growth and deliver cutting-edge services.  

 

The company’s CEO, Charlie Cole, has mutually agreed with the Board of Directors to step down from his role. Tribute Technology thanks Charlie for his leadership and the significant contributions he made during his tenure. 

 

The company will be led by Tribute Technology’s Board of Directors and an Office of the CEO, composed of key executives, including the newly appointed President of Commercial Markets Courtney Gould Miller and Chief Technology Officer Matt Powell, along with the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. This experienced leadership team will ensure stability and guide Tribute Technology through its next phase of innovation and growth. 

 

“During this transition, our leadership team remains focused on executing our technology roadmap and delivering on our strategic priorities,” said Gould Miller. “We are committed to providing exceptional service and support to our clients while continuing to invest in best-in-class technology that positions funeral homes to become digital brands in their communities.” 

 

Gould Miller brings a lifetime of experience in the funeral profession, first leading MKJ Marketing as Chief Strategy Officer and then joining Tribute Technology’s Executive Leadership Team in 2022. As Chief Customer & Marketing Officer at Tribute Technology, she has been instrumental in driving the company’s growth, elevating its brand, and developing customer-focused innovations like the award-winning AI Obituary Writer. Now, as President of Commercial Markets, she will lead strategic initiatives to expand the company’s market presence and deliver more of what funeral professionals need to meet the changing demands of consumers. 

 

Tribute Technology’s executive team has also announced a significant investment of more than $5 million over the next year to enhance the company’s technology, operations, and customer service. This investment aligns with the company’s mission to deliver thoughtful innovation and support its customers in elevating their businesses. 

 

“The customer feedback we received at NFDA, the Selected Independent Funeral Homes Annual Meeting, and our recent MKJ Marketing Summit highlighted the importance of digital transformation in today’s funeral profession,” said Gould Miller. “Our top priority will always be delivering the highest quality service and cutting-edge solutions to our funeral home partners.” 

 

Tribute Technology remains dedicated to empowering funeral homes through its innovative solutions and exceptional customer experience, ensuring it remains the operating system of choice for funeral service professionals.

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.
