Homesteaders Adds Consolidated Funeral Services to List of Recommended Vendors

West Des Moines, IA – Homesteaders Life Company, a national leader in pre-need funeral funding, has added Consolidated Funeral Services (CFS) to the company’s list of recommended vendors. CFS is a premier provider of funeral home websites, serving more than 4,400 funeral homes across Canada and the United States.

“Homesteaders is always looking for ways to expand our value offering to provide more support to our funeral home customers,” explained Dean Lambert, Homesteaders’ Senior VP-Marketing and Communications. “We are often asked about website support, and we feel that this joint promotion with CFS provides a platform for us to recommend a vendor we know will offer an exceptional product and service experience – similar to the quality funeral homes have come to expect from our own company.”

“CFS is excited to extend our services to Homesteaders’ customers,” affirmed Felix Tsatskis, Co-Founder of CFS. “Thousands of funeral homes throughout the country have found tremendous value in the work we do, and we look forward to collaborating with Homesteaders to help even more funeral professionals create engaging websites that equip them to better serve their communities.”

CFS offers full-featured websites designed to place funeral homes at the top of search engine rankings while supporting the rapid distribution of obituaries and death notices. Each website is packed with a suite of features, including online payments, obituaries, merchandise catalogs, testimonials, blogs, staff pages, pre-need and at-need arranger bios, fillable forms and more.

By directly integrating local florists, hand-picked by funeral homes, CFS websites can also generate substantial revenue, and the portion shared with funeral homes is among the highest in the industry. As an added benefit for funeral homes, each website is provided free of charge.

CFS joins a number of industry experts on Homesteaders’ list of recommended vendors, including DISRUPT Media, Ad Direct and Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions. In addition to extending Homesteaders’ value offering, many of these vendors offer exclusive products, services or discounts to Homesteaders customers.
