- Simplified access to customization features including obituary alerts, saved locations, and anniversary reminders
"In celebration of the 3rd
anniversary of the launch of Tributes.com we are excited to be enhancing our
brand image and user interface to be softer in tone and more sophisticated in
its design while dramatically improving our site experience to be much more
personalized for our users," said Elaine Haney, President, Tributes.com. "Two million consumers now rely on our brand each month and it’s important to
ensure that they can quickly and easily search our database and locate comprehensive
obituary and service information and interact with the friends and family that
need their support in a timely fashion while simultaneously having the ability
to make their regular Tributes.com experience their own – with immediate access
to the obituary news they care about and the memorials of their loved ones
close by."
