Meeting the Vendors Part 2

Ok this next vendor is an authorized or trusted Google business photographer.  I met Elizabeth Durrant of Trusted Photo MD  For $995 they come and shoot your business and then post it on Google applications.  They create 360 degree views of the land which maybe an inexpensive way for us to help people who use smart phones to get them to  a location in the burial grounds.

This will lead you to look at Google Earth Pro or maybe a Bus App from Google.  The link page from Google offers many different ways at utilizing their applications. 

Next up is a gentleman, Bob Jenkins VP Sales of timeless-tributes This is a firm that has excellent video and offers you the ability to market live web feeds at a burial for friends and family that can not be there.
But Bob also represents a new line of products call "Let Your Love Grow" designed so your loved ones ashes can grow into a plant.  Well in the process he found it very hard to grown anything in bones, they created a "hot mix soil" to break down the bones.  This soil is now being sold by the bags and pallets to cemeteries  VeMix is an organic planting medium that breaks the bond of the calcium and phosphorous in cremated remains and releases them into the environment in a natural biological process. Cremated remains put directly into soil do not harm the environment but they do not become active. VeMix allows the cremated remains to become active in the environment by attaching to the root system of any living flora. Basically, VeMix jump starts mother nature that the cremation process stopped. All containers and packaging is biodegradable and compostable.  We will be testing this product, soon.

Last stop on this posting is tributes  tributes.com specializes in on-line obituaries.  Their on-line site has been operational for several years and they get 4 million views each month.  They have strong web presence from search engines.  Of course they offer other services like video and memorial in-house DVDs.
