The Funeral Savvy Mission
The primary mission of Funeral Savvy is to empower funeral consumers by providing easy access to needed relevant information when purchasing a funeral.
Given the huge cost of realizing this mission we have made the tough decision to begin charging for our app. In fact we are asking you to invest in our mission.
We guarantee that we will continue to invest every penny earned from Funeral Savvy into continued development.
Your investment/purchase of this app will allow us to finish our impartial video guide on purchasing funerals.
Why needed? Recent Example: Our recent survey showed that over 20% of funeral homes in the Chicago area failed to adequately adhere to the Federal Funeral Rule.
Thank you for helping us to help others.
Consumers: Please help our mission by submitting funeral provider reviews and ratings.
Funeral providers: Please submit and review pricing and information listings on your business in our app. We have over 10,000 funeral providers listed in our app.
Why is Funeral Savvy needed?
Even today the buying of a funeral can be comparable to buying cars in the 1970s before the availability of consumer orientated magazines that gave buyers the information to make a well-educated purchasing decision. The funeral consumer does not have access to enough information to make optimum decisions in one of the most important and expensive purchases they will ever make.
Funeral Savvy is the solution in putting the consumer on an equal information basis with the funeral provider.
Our version 1.1
1.1 is our most basic version, with 6 revisions already in the pipeline that will offer a truly consumer driven experience at a time when many people are at their weakest and most vulnerable. Knowledge is power.
Features in this version:
1) The ability to rate and review over 10,000 funeral providers. Please empower others by taking time rate and review funeral providers you have current experience with.
2) Price comparisons. We have started with parts of California and Florida and over the next 6 months will be blitz calling in other states to list several comparable prices so consumers have easy access to find prices. This data base is a work in progress. On http://funeralsavvy.com we offer Funeral Providers the ability to submit and update this information. In future version this will be done on app.
3) Easily find Funeral Providers in your vicinity.
4) Our Buyers Guide 1.0. This will be expanded and enhanced in future versions to offer many features including video training on the purchasing of the funeral.
5) Interlinking with our blog for more in-depth and current content and discussion.
6) Ability for Funeral Providers to add and offer additional Consumer Information.
Note to Users: We already know that some Funeral Providers may launch a massive negative review campaign to squelch our efforts to empower consumers. Please take reviews with a grain of salt knowing that some in the Funeral Industry prefer a customer in the dark. The good news is that many of the best Funeral Providers in the industry prefer a better informed consumer!
We need your help! Please give us any and all input on our blog http://funeralsavvy.com .
We need your input to improve. Input can include what features you want, share your experiences, ask funeral providers to provide prices proactively and all things that can make consumers better informed.
