Here's a Couple of Examples...

 

Have you ever thought what music you’d want at your funeral? What song or songs mean something to you or say something about you. Nowadays people are choosing less traditional music when planning in advance for their Celebration of A Lifetime. Whether it’s rock, country, classical or a variety of genres, selecting your playlist now will leave a personal stamp on your Final Celebration. What’s at the top of your funeral playlist or a lifetime? Tell us in the comment box below.

Community Engagement
Winning Hearts & Minds

VFMC Funeral Home Providers are a catalyst for their communities to show support and honor our Veterans and Active Duty Military.

Public relations is the opposite of advertising. In advertising, you pay to have your message placed online, in a newspaper, or on television or radio. In public relations, the article or spotlight that features your company is not paid for. Most important publicity has greater credibility with the public than does advertising. Readers feel that if the media is featuring your company, you must be doing something worthwhile.

Since 2008, the VFMC Signature Community Engagement Programs have been winning the hearts and minds of communities all across America. Hundreds of VFMC Exclusive Funeral Home Providers enjoy top of mind awareness created by the exposure and visibility that our nationally acclaimed public relations programs deliver. VFMC provides the tools and materials to ensure your success, including press releases, Facebook posts, flyers, ads and much, much more.
