FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Feb. 11, 2025 Contact For Further Information: Tribute Technology 315 Raemisch Rd., Ste G Waunakee, WI, 53597 press@tributetech.com Tribute Technology and Chptr Partner to Launch Tribute Spotlights: A New Way to Honor Loved Ones Through Local TV Stations WAUNAKEE, WI — Tribute Technology, a leader in digital solutions for the funeral profession, has partnered with Chptr, a next-generation storytelling platform, to launch Tribute Spotlights, a first-of-its-kind service that allows families to honor their loved ones through local television broadcasts in over 200 markets. By expanding memorialization beyond traditional formats, this exclusive partnership provides a meaningful and far-reaching way to celebrate life, reinforcing the role of funeral homes as trusted partners in remembrance. "With fewer newspapers available, families have lost a way to share news of a death with the entire community and tell the story of their loved one through the obituary. Online obituaries are important as the home of condolences, but it's only useful if the public knows that the death has occurred,” said Courtney Gould Miller, president of commercial markets at Tribute Technology. “Tribute Spotlights broadcasts the deaths in the community and the event information, reminding the public of the value of commemorating lives lived and increasing attendance at the funeral." Funeral homes and families alike benefit from Tribute Spotlights. For funeral professionals, the service offers a seamless way to enhance their offerings without adding additional work. Each Tribute Spotlight prominently features the funeral home’s branding, reinforcing its role in honoring lives and strengthening its presence in the community. By airing twice daily for up to 10 days, these digital tributes are not just told, but shared far and wide, helping to inform communities of upcoming services and ensuring loved ones are honored with dignity and respect. For families, Tribute Spotlights provide a new and deeply personal way to memorialize those they have lost. Televised tributes allow for a visually compelling and shareable way to tell a loved one’s story. Families receive a lasting digital keepsake that can be revisited and shared, ensuring memories are preserved for future generations. The visibility of these broadcasts also encourages greater community support, increasing attendance at services and allowing more people to come together to celebrate a life well lived. With a simple and stress-free process, families can create a meaningful tribute without the burden of additional planning. “At Chptr, we believe stories should live forever,” said Rehan Choudhry, CEO and founder of Chptr. “This partnership allows families to share their loved one’s memory in a way that transcends time—through television, digital platforms, and the collective memory of their community.” Local television remains a trusted and widely watched source of community information. By featuring these televised tributes, stations can engage viewers with meaningful, locally relevant content while generating advertising opportunities that support their operations. Tribute Spotlights also creates a new revenue stream for local TV stations, providing valuable human-centered content that resonates with their audiences.
