Additional features will be rolled out over the coming weeks, including an RSVP service to help funeral homes better manage events and the ability for friends and families to purchase flowers. Also in a future release, Frontrunner funeral homes will be given the option of identifying the hotel facilities they recommend for visitors.

It is simple for travelers to use and can be accessed using their smartphone or any current Internet browser. We want the Funeral homes that use our platform to be recognized for the care they provide consumers. This is just one more piece of the matrix we have built to help drive more families and traffic to our client’s funeral homes.” says Montroy.
Chicke Fitzgerald founder and CEO of Solutionz Technologies states: “We have been providing customer-centric solutions to the travel industry for nearly 20 years. With the shift in power on the Internet moving to the consumer, we are putting 100% of our focus on developing technologies that ease trip planning around life events. We know from experience that approximately 10% of all funeral home attendees come from over 50 miles away and of those, 89% of travel to funerals and memorial services by car. Finding a hotel nearby the service is a critical part of the planning process and most current travel sites focus on hotels near airports and city centers, versus where the traveler is really going.”
Fitzgerald also observed, “We are excited to be integrating our technology into the Frontrunner platform. Their name says it all and it is great being able to work with such a visionary company. We share in their desire to make trip planning easy for travelers during this difficult time.
