The Major Funeral Home Has a Major Answer for Baby Boomers and Their Family Members

Dallas, TX – As baby boomers approach retirement, many questions are being asked by many people.  Business Week’s Mary Childs and Tom Keene recently asked whether baby boomers would have to work for more years in order to be able to retire as a result of the recent financial crisis.  US News & World Report’s Emily Brandon recently asked whether baby boomers can maximize their social security payouts upon reaching the full retirement age of 66.  For baby boomers and their family members, the one retirement question that is a little tougher to ask is whether they will be able to manage funeral arrangements at the time of loss and grief.

 

‘Baby boomer’ is a term that generally refers to an individual born in the middle part of the 20th century between 1946 and 1964.  According to census.gov, the oldest baby boomers are now in their 60’s.  The recent financial crisis has made retirement planning more difficult for those close to retirement.  In turn, this has had an impact on the affordability of funeral arrangements for many families even those with life insurance polices.

 

“Cost effectiveness and quality of care are major concerns for families,” says Shauntavia Williams, Provisional Funeral Director at The Major Funeral Home, a family owned and operated funeral home, chapel, and cremation center which has been helping families for over 45 years.

 

A subsidiary of their company, Alpha Crematory Services, which was created in 2006, was the first African American owned crematory in the southwest, a region which includes states such as Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Texas.  Understandably, many people of different regions and cultures tend to be very emotional about engaging a funeral arrangement service.  It can be very tough for them to ask the right questions during such a planning process. “Transparency is our practice because a well informed client is a happy client,” says Williams.

 

An informed retirement plan is one that takes into account funeral or memorial service arrangements.  But ultimately, such arrangements must be affordable at the time the plan is put into effect.  The Major Funeral Home is seeking to answer the affordability question with some recent developments: the remodeling of its chapel and the redesigning of its website to make both of them more family-friendly.  Upon closer inspection, one may find that these developments are actually not developments in the true sense of the word- – the fact is that the company has been providing family-focused memorial and cremation services for a long time now.  Perhaps the best way for baby boomers and their family member to get an answer on affordability is to just ask Major.

The Answer to Grow Your Business is Voice Broadcasting

The Answer to Grow Your Business is Voice Broadcasting

As I sat down to write this article I got a voice broadcast message on my phone. I let the machine grab it because I was busy. A couple of things came to my mind as I replayed the voice broadcast. First, the voice broadcast copy was pretty good. Second, the voice broadcast connected to me with neither the caller nor myself actually on the phone.


Let’s talk about the voice broadcast copy for a minute. The voice broadcast subject was about vent cleaning and the caller made a compelling argument to have him clean my vents. But the voice broadcast did this in a specific format. In the voice broadcast’s first few words I was told that my homes vents contained dust, dirt and maybe even mold which could make my family sick. That caught my attention.


The voice broadcast made me picture my homes heating and cooling vents blowing this sickening stuff throughout my house. The picture was vivid as if I was actually looking into a section of vent myself and seeing the crud. The voice broadcast succeeded in creating a sense of urgency in me. Next, the voice broadcast clued me into some features and benefits of having my vents cleaned.


The body of the voice broadcast let me know that all was not lost with a dirty vent. In fact, vent cleaning was a common procedure and doing so would greatly improve the air quality in my home. The biggest feature offered was the scrubbing and cleaning of my homes every vent. All the lurking crud would be gone. My family would be healthier and my heating and cooling system more efficient. It was as if the caller was standing with me in person selling me the company’s features and benefits. Finally, the voice broadcast gave me a solution.


The voice broadcast introduced the caller and explained his company’s professionalism and quality truck mounted vent cleaning equipment. The caller told me about radio dispatched trucks ready to cruise to my home and solve my dirty vent problem. He gave me contact information and then the call disconnected.


Just like a real person to person sales call the voice broadcast made me aware of a need, told me how to solve that need and then explained his particular solution was the best to satisfy my need. The voice broadcast did this all in thirty seconds. It was pretty efficient. There’s one more thing I want to say about the voice broadcast. That is I listened to it.


The fact that I let the machine grab the call did an important thing. It disarmed my pre-programmed response to hang up on a strange caller. That it was an automated message helped in this respect too. A voice broadcast is highly effective because the tension of person to person communication is resolved. I listened to the message at my leisure and because of that I was more interested in what the voice broadcast had to say. I think the detachment was important.


Some voice broadcasting providers even tout this detachment as an advantage. People seem to be more relaxed without the feel of another person at the other end of the line.


So I thought the voice broadcast was pretty effective. I did take the number down, and I’ll talk with my better half about our vent problem. If I decide to have my vents cleaned guess who I’m going to call.

He might even ask to get some lab tests performed to ensure that the patient is healthy enough to undergo the procedure. A patient might be prescribed or prevented form taking some medication to prepare his/her body for the procedure. If the patient’s health report satisfies the plastic surgeon in Dallas, then his various body parts will be photographed to mark the target areas of the procedure.

After this, the Dallas plastic surgeon will determine the kind of anesthetic to be administered to you for numbing the target area. Then, a series of small cuts, which are not readily visible, will be made on the skin and a saline solution will be applied to loosen the fat cells, so that they can be easily suctioned. After this, a miniature tube will be inserted into the cuts and fat will be removed with its help by applying suction to the fluid and fat cells. After removing the unwanted fat, the tubes will be removed and the tiny incisions will be sewed up which will then be covered with a special garment to reduce the swelling.

Patients may have to stay under the care of the Dallas plastic surgeon for some hours and in most cases, they are able to return to work within a few days. However, it will take a number of months for all the bruises to heal completely and the results of this plastic surgery are usually very good.

Texas Foreclosure Homes; the Really Affordable Answer!

Filed Under: Texas
Mar.14, 2010

An answer to your short term needs can be found in Texas foreclosure homes. The word is out, a move south can be the answer to both better job prospects and an affordable lifestyle. Texans have known for some time that growth in the private sector has been fuelling a strong and steady increase in jobs over the past year, particularly around the large cities of Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin. They are also well aware that their housing prices and costs of living are among the most affordable in the nation, and full of optimism that the current trend in foreclosures filings has only one way to go, down. The three metros have all hit the top ten hottest job markets state wide as disclosed this month in a Bizjournals survey, which credits different drivers for the healthy boom – from energy in Houston and technology in Austin to finance in Dallas, but the growth is noticeable state wide.

With more than a million homeowners facing foreclosure in the US, many souls in the most hard-hit areas in the Midwest who have lost both their jobs and their homes have no option but to relocate with their families to where the jobs are and start afresh. The really affordable foreclosure homes of Texas coupled with job security and very reasonable rents offer that great chance to invest in rental property and assist others to survive a temporary but prolonged hardship and come out the other end swinging.

Demand for low cost rental housing which will only get stronger is yet another reason for your first real estate investment. Buyers with first class credit records and a little cash or access to credit for likely first up repairs have a wealth of choice in locations. Dallas-Fort Worth communities have the highest concentration of homes in foreclosure. Sub prime loans have accounted for 18% of homeowner’s mortgage debt in Texas, versus 15 % average nationally, and Texans generally have the lowest average credit rating of all. Dallas, with its high population of minority groups, has a trend of sub prime loans defaulting at higher rates than elsewhere. Texas’ housing market goes against the trend seen in other high foreclosure filings rate states. There has been slow and steady price appreciation in recent years. If the base is per housing unit, then Texas’s pre foreclosure rate is near the nation average and very much lower than in California, Arizona and Florida. All the more reason for those coming into the state with access to prime funds to know that an investment in foreclosure property in Texas will definitely pay big dividends in the longer term.
