Huff man Studios, “as Atneed.com will be adding Memory Pendants® to their new merchandising platform that allows funeral directors to instantly create a sophisticated, fully branded virtual display room and offer the families they serve a multitude of choices in memorial items, merchandise and services.” As Daniel Goldman, president of Atneed.com explains, “Good merchandising is fundamental to good service. It is a customer satisfying process, and in this industry, serving customers well is both more challenging and more important than in any other industry I can think of. Our free on-line format allows Funeral Directors to quickly and gracefully discover, and then instantly meet the unique needs of each individual family.” The use of computers and the internet are becoming more and more apparent and is allowing the funeral industry to embrace new technology and new business techniques. Atneed.com delivers both. “We listen carefully to what funeral directors need and what families want. We are constantly adding new products to the catalog and developing new features onthe site in response to Funeral Director feedback,” Goldman says. “We help Funeral Directors use technology to enhance their business.” Linda Huff man, the guiding force behind Memory Pendants® which are handcrafted out of colorful dichroic glass, reflect a vibrant and lively array of colors, and can be customized to securely hold memorial ashes, a precious lock of hair, or both. Works of art in and of themselves, they are a discreet and elegant way to memorialize relatives, friends and cherished pets. Since 2003, over 2,000 pendants have been uniquely crafted with care. It is Linda’s first-hand under- standing of the grieving process that makes her so sensitive and compassionate to her customer’s needs. With a keepsake of their loved one close at hand, the bereaved experiences a sense of comfort and peace through the grieving process. As beautiful as they are meaningful, Memory Pendants® keepsakes are all one-of-a-kind memorials that come in a variety of styles — many of which incorporate sterling silver. Customers select the colors to be used in their piece and decide whether or not they would like the ash and/or hair keepsakes to be made visible or non-visible.
