Tribute Technology Deepens Platform Integration with Chptr, Bringing Broadcast Memorials to More Than 9,000 Funeral Homes
Waunakee, Wis. — Jan. 21, 2025 — Tribute Technology today announced its expansive integration of Chptr’s broadcast memorial capabilities directly into the Tribute Technology website platform, giving funeral homes using a Tribute Technology website unprecedented and seamless access to the nation’s largest broadcast memorial network without adding steps, systems, or staff burden.
The integration makes broadcast memorial capabilities immediately available to more than 9,000 funeral homes that use the Tribute Technology platform for obituaries, arrangements, and family communications. With Chptr embedded directly into Tribute Technology workflows, these funeral homes are just a couple of clicks away from broadcasting an obituary on their local TV station and can be on air in as little as 24 hours.
Funeral directors initiate broadcast memorial announcements from the same interface they use for standard obituary creation, eliminating duplicate data entry and external tools while extending community reach through local television and digital news outlets.
Designed for How Funeral Homes Already Work
Funeral directors operate under intense emotional and operational demands. This integration was built with that reality in mind. Through this integration:
- Obituary information flows directly into broadcast memorial creation
- Memorial announcements are automatically prepared for local TV and station websites
- Every broadcast and digital placement includes the funeral home’s branding and links back to the funeral home as the authoritative source
- Funeral staff remain in one system, following familiar workflows
The result is a modern memorial experience that expands community reach while preserving the simplicity and dignity funeral professionals require.
“We are here to serve funeral professionals. Every decision we make should make their work easier, clearer, and more meaningful, not harder,” said Craig Greenseid, CEO of Tribute Technology. “By fully integrating Chptr into our platform, we help funeral homes connect families with their communities without asking directors to learn something new or take on more work.”
Extending the Obituary Into the Community
As newspaper readership moves online and online scraping increases, funeral homes are looking for reliable ways to ensure families’ stories are seen by the people who truly knew them.
Through this integration, Tribute Technology customers gain automatic access to:
- Broadcast memorial announcements airing on local television
- Obituaries published directly to participating local news websites
- Expanded visibility beyond traditional print and search-based discovery
- Consistent referral traffic back to the funeral home’s website
This approach reinforces the funeral home’s role as the trusted center of remembrance while ensuring families reach the broader circles that matter most during loss.

Tribute Technology serves more than 9,000 funeral homes across North America. By embedding Chptr at the platform level, Tribute Technology is making broadcast memorialization available at unprecedented scale while maintaining the standards of care, professionalism, and trust that define funeral service.
“Chptr was built to integrate, not interrupt,” said Rehan Choudhry, CEO of Chptr. “Being deeply embedded within the Tribute Technology platform means funeral homes can offer families something truly meaningful, community connection at scale, without changing how they work or what they stand for.”
