Helping Funeral Homes Be Seen the Way They Serve

Care That Carries Further

Funeral homes have always led with care, guiding families, building trust, and honoring lives with professionalism and heart.

Now that care reaches families where they already gather, on the local news sites they know and trust.

Through Chptr’s new web experience, every memorial announcement shared on partner TV station websites now appears in a clean, modern layout that reflects the quality of your service. Each one includes your funeral home’s name and a direct link back to your website, helping more people see your work and find you when they need care.

 

Why It Matters

Local TV station websites remain one of the most trusted and visited places in every community. By placing memorial announcements there, families can reach neighbors, friends, and extended circles who might not see a traditional obituary.

Until now, that visibility didn’t always carry the funeral home’s name clearly. The new Chptr web experience changes that. Each announcement now appears in a clean, mobile-ready layout that highlights both the loved one being honored and the funeral home that cared for them.

It’s a small change with a big impact, ensuring your professionalism and compassion are visible wherever families are remembering together.

A Smarter, More Connected Online Presence

The new Chptr web embed transforms how memorial announcements appear across partner TV station websites. Each placement includes:

  • Direct Brand Attribution
    Every memorial card displays your funeral home’s name clearly, linking back to your website.

  • Clean, Mobile-Ready Design
    Each name, photo, and date appears beautifully on any device, creating a dignified experience for families and visitors.

  • Unified Experience
    All engagement, from condolences to service details, flows through your website, keeping families connected to the professionals they trust.

  • SEO and Visibility
    Each placement creates a high-quality backlink from a trusted local news source, strengthening your website’s authority and helping more families find you online.

This update pairs visual clarity with measurable business value, giving families a better experience and giving your brand greater visibility at the same time.

 

Built for Families, Designed for You

Every part of this update was shaped by what matters most: families feeling supported, and funeral homes being recognized for the care they provide.

The layout, typography, and flow were designed to make every memorial simple to navigate and meaningful to see. For funeral homes, that design translates directly into stronger SEO, higher referral traffic, and a clear, credible presence on trusted local news sites.

It’s an easy way to extend your service and reputation into the digital spaces where families already gather.

 

The Chptr Point of View

Funeral directors have always been at the center of meaningful remembrance, connecting people, guiding moments, and helping families honor life well.

Chptr’s role is to make that connection visible to the wider community. The new web experience ensures that every memorial announcement is not just seen, but seen as part of your work, a reflection of your care, your name, and your ongoing relationship with families.

When each memorial looks and performs as beautifully online as it does in person, it builds lasting recognition for your funeral home and strengthens your place at the heart of your community.

 

What Funeral Homes Can Expect

  • Now Live for Partner Stations
    The new experience is active across current partner TV station websites and will expand as part of Chptr’s national rollout to more than 210 markets.

  • Consistent Recognition
    Every announcement clearly connects back to your funeral home, reinforcing trust and visibility.

  • Lasting Value
    Each placement drives measurable traffic and brand awareness, improving your website’s search rankings and expanding your reach over time.

These updates work quietly in the background, helping more families discover your funeral home while strengthening the reputation you’ve already built.

 

The Takeaway

When families see your care reflected online, they see what sets your funeral home apart.

The new Chptr web experience helps make that possible, honoring every story beautifully while helping more people find the professionals who made it possible.

It’s part of Chptr Broadcast Memorials, the service that shares each family’s story both on air and online through trusted local news partners. Together, they extend your reach, reinforce your reputation, and help every story be seen across the community.
