Cremation-Online.com Offers Nationwide Arrangements, Completed from Home

    DALLAS, TX, May 16, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- John P. Brooks, a pioneer in the online funeral company business, announces the launch of Cremation-Online.com. This Texas-based company is offering a nationwide online service to people who seek a quiet, dignified way to make cremation arrangements for a departed loved one. This innovative service is designed to allow clients the opportunity to plan the ceremony of their choice, select merchandise, and complete arrangements at their own pace, and at significant price savings, without ever leaving the comfort of their homes.

With funeral & Cremation Cost skyrocketing in recent years, demand for cremation services has risen dramatically. At the same time, funeral home clientele have repeatedly expressed an interest in the development of a more simplified process for making arrangements. As a result, Cremation-Online.com hopes to offer just that - a simple, yet dignified way for arranging a cremation service.

Cremation-online.com is staffed by licensed funeral directors, available to assist clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. The process is designed to be simple and user-friendly. When a loved one dies, a family member calls Cremation-Online.com toll-free to begin arrangements. The client then downloads all necessary forms relating to the cremation from the website and completes them at his or her own pace. The forms can then be returned to the company via fax or email, to authorize the cremation.

Following cremation, memorial services can be arranged at one of Brooks' Dallas area Funeral Homes, or remains can be securely shipped to any location for a memorial service or other desired disposition. The client can also select several product options on the web, including a variety of decorative urns and even live streaming video of memorial services for those who are unable to attend in person.

The service also aims to reduce the ballooning costs of funerals by taking much of the "sales" out of the death-care process. One advantage offered by the service is that a purchaser can take all the time he needs to read through the information available and understand his options, free from sales pressure. Traditional death-care arrangements are often made quickly, under sales pressure during a short consultation at a funeral home, while the purchasers are distracted by their grief.

The website offers funeral-related products, like caskets, at a much lower cost than what is usually available directly from local funeral homes. In fact, the company guarantees the lowest price on identical models of casket. Caskets can be purchased online and shipped to the local funeral home where your loved one is being prepared for services, greatly reducing what is normally the largest line-item expense of a funeral.

John P. Brooks, the owner of the company, has been a licensed funeral director in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for more than 35 years. For several years, he has been developing ways to offer funeral-related products over the internet, and Cremation-Online.com is the ultimate consummation of those efforts. As stated on the "About Us" page of the website, "We are honored to be the first to bring you this online experience and are committed to the standards of excellence as set forth by our Funeral Home Family. Take hope in knowing that we are just a phone call away if you ever need us."

For additional information, contact John Brooks at 1-800-300-1655 or visit www.cremation-online.com. The company is also licensed by the state of Texas to offer prepaid funeral contracts, which allow people to make their own arrangements in advance, relieving survivors of the need to make urgent decisions while in the state of grief.
