MEMORIAL TRIBUTE PRESENTATIONS HONOR THE PAST AND EMBRACE THE FUTURE IN REGIONAL FUNERAL HOMES
Multi-Media
Solutions, Inc.’s Mobile Memorial Presentation System Helps Funeral Homes Offer
Meaningful Celebrations of Life.
ALCOA and BRENTWOOD, TN:
Steeped in tradition as the final ceremony may seem, make no mistake – the Funeral Industry is adopting the newest technological advances!
The
rapidly growing trend for personalization requires that the time-honored
traditions surrounding this event now exist side-by-side with some very
cutting-edge technology. The Memorial Tribute is being requested more
frequently by families, and the system used to display this moving pictorial
and musical tribute needs to blend in with the Funeral Home’s décor, and also
be easy to use. The impact of the presentation is unmistakable, as the viewers
become immersed in the life of the deceased- the happy times, the memories, the
accomplishments- making the visiting hours truly a celebration of life.
“Our families
are extremely receptive to these memorial tributes, and have given very
favorable response. People gather around it and watch the presentation usually
a number of times before even going in.” Says Boyd Funeral Home Director Andrew
Fox.
He
is speaking of his new Mobile Memorial Tribute Presentation System from
Multi-Media Solutions, Inc., in Alcoa TN. Boyd Funeral Home is an attractive establishment in
Salem, Kentucky, and it boasts a memorial presentation system which many larger
funeral homes might covet! Once their first memorial tribute was shown on the
system, every single family since has shown a video tribute on it. Director
Andrew Fox expects the unit to pay for itself, while still keeping the service
at a very reasonable cost for families. He is so impressed with the impact of
this service, he'd like to keep it affordable for everyone. Director Fox
creates the tributes himself, using Directors-Tribute software, which comes
with each of these systems, and is the leading memorial tribute software in the
U.S.
The
MMS Mobile Memorial Presentation System provided all the technical requirements
in a beautiful custom-built credenza. The credenza, one of two styles offered,
is available in 19 finish shades of 5 different woods, to complement any decor.
The 42" plasma flat screen within raises and lowers at the touch of a
button on an integrated electric lift, providing the unrivaled image quality
only plasma screen technology can offer, with high-quality audio emanating from
the plasma display's attached speakers. A DVD player integrated into the
cabinet provides the means to present the memorial tribute, which is created on
the Directors Tribute "VideoTribute"
software which is included with each system. The credenza is mounted on
discrete casters, and can be moved from Visitation Rooms to the Chapel to the
Foyer.
A
similar system will be on display at the MMS-produced “Audio Visual Showcase
2005” at the Knoxville Convention Center, August 17th and also at
the Tennessee Funeral Director’s Association Annual Convention in Nashville
June 19-21.
Multi-Media
Solutions, Inc. is a 15 year old design and integration company offering audio
visual technology solutions for commercial, industrial, education and
government markets. MMS’s corporate headquarters are in Alcoa, with an
additional sales office in Brentwood, TN.
