(Pittsburgh, PA) Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions will be exhibiting its industry-leading products and solutions at the National Funeral Directors Association Annual Convention and Expo in Chicago October 27-29. It will be the first NFDA convention since Matthews Aurora acquired The Dodge Company, and both companies look forward to welcoming customers at the show.
Today’s Funeral Homes are facing urgent business challenges and require proven solutions that deliver tangible results. Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions is focused on providing the tools and strategies that help Funeral Homes overcome these challenges and meet the expectations of today’s families. Among the solutions to be highlighted at NFDA:
• Our new FamilyTouch Kiosk showroom tool allows families to find and customize the perfect burial and cremation products to help create a personal and remarkable goodbye. The interactive touchscreen can be tailored with each funeral home’s merchandising and pricing strategies.
• Among the caskets to be featured at the show are our NEW Nexus casket with sleek lines and contemporary matte finish, as well as the NEW oversized version of our highly popular Barnwood casket. We will also feature four other popular caskets including our Allegiance casket with a dedicated Veterans display.
