At Booth #1647, funeral professionals can step into Chptr Studios for complimentary 15-minute TV, podcast and social sessions, with Chptr handling the production. The result is fresh, professionally produced content built around each funeral home’s own voice, story and community. For funeral homes that choose ChptrOne, that content can go straight to work. Chptr can immediately build it into a broader year-round campaign across TV, radio, streaming, social and search, turning 15 minutes in Charlotte into ongoing visibility back home. “The challenge is not simply creating good content. It is making sure the right people actually see it, and doing that consistently enough to matter,” said Bob Arrington, Senior Vice President of Funeral Home Services at Chptr and co-founder of ObituaryShare. “Funeral homes have powerful stories to tell and deep roots in their communities. The opportunity is to connect that voice with the distribution it needs to reach more families.” ### **Fifteen minutes. Marketing that keeps working after Charlotte.** Chptr Studios is built around the expertise funeral professionals already have. There are no scripts to memorize and no production experience required. Chptr’s producers guide each conversation, drawing out the stories, perspectives and expertise that make a funeral home distinct, then turn those conversations into finished marketing assets. The TV Studio will produce polished 30-second commercials. The Social Studio will create a collection of short-form videos for funeral homes’ own channels. And First Call Conversations, Chptr’s Podcast Studio presented by iHeartMedia, will give funeral professionals a platform for the deeper conversations, perspectives and experiences behind the profession. The content has immediate value on its own. Through ChptrOne, it can also become the creative foundation for a coordinated, always-on local marketing program. ### **From content creation to market presence** ChptrOne brings together the pieces of marketing funeral homes have traditionally managed across internal teams, agencies, media partners and specialized vendors. Strategy, creative, production, media buying, distribution and reporting are managed as one service across television, radio, streaming, social and search. For funeral homes, the value is straightforward: one partner, one bill and one service team. “Whether you are running one location or dozens of them, the challenge is rarely a lack of marketing activity,” said Rehan Choudhry, Founder and CEO of Chptr. “It is getting the creative, the media and the distribution working together consistently. ChptrOne is built to connect those pieces so funeral homes can spend less time managing the machinery behind marketing and more time building the kind of presence that actually compounds.” At NFDA, funeral home owners, operators and marketers will be able to experience that model firsthand, see the work Chptr can create and explore how it can be distributed across their own markets. ### **An NFDA-exclusive offer with iHeartMedia** Chptr is also giving funeral homes a way to put that visibility into market immediately. Through an NFDA-exclusive offer with iHeartMedia, funeral homes can put **$1,000 in local iHeart radio advertising into market for $500, with Chptr covering the remaining $500.** Funeral homes that choose ChptrOne at NFDA will have **the full $1,000 advertising investment covered by Chptr.** “Being known before a family needs you changes the conversation when they do,” Choudhry said. “That is what year-round visibility is really about.” ### **See it in Charlotte** Chptr Studios sessions are complimentary, and appointments are already filling ahead of NFDA. Funeral professionals can reserve a TV, podcast or social studio session and learn more at **chptr.com/nfda**. Chptr will be at **Booth #1647** at the 2026 NFDA International Convention & Expo. ### **About Chptr** Founded in 2020 and headquartered in New York, Chptr helps funeral homes reach more families and strengthen their presence in the communities they serve. Its offerings include Broadcast Obituaries, which bring local remembrances to television audiences, and ChptrOne, a fully managed marketing service spanning TV, radio, streaming, social and search.
