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.

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 .
