Why Forward-Thinking Funeral Homes Are Heading to the Ski Summit
November 20, 2025
A few days in the mountains can reshape your entire year.
From February 23–25, 2026, funeral professionals will gather at Utah’s Pendry Park City for three days of practical insights, honest conversations, and strategy you can actually use.
Surrounded by Park City’s winter scenery, the Summit, cohosted by Tribute Technology and MKJ Marketing, gives you the space to step back from the day-to-day and get clarity on what’s changing in funeral service — and where the opportunities are.
You’ll head home with ideas you can put to work as soon as you’re back in the office.
When the day’s sessions wrap, the setting does its part. Enjoy ski-in, ski-out access, outdoor fires, and plenty of fresh mountain air. With Salt Lake City International Airport less than an hour away, it’s an easy trip that feels like a true escape.
If you’re looking to stay ahead, sharpen your strategy, and give your firm every advantage, this is an event worth attending.

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 .
