Hi Ivory,
i can appreciate that people might just assume we are the same as funeralannouncements.ie but we have far more to offer.
1. we have approx 60 - 80 deaths every day announced, where it may take funeralann up to 6 days to have these details.
2. we have various facilities whereby the public can send condolences, pledge to charity, e-mail a friend, view a photo of the deceased etc
3. we have taken a holistic approach to the whole subject of death and dying in ireland, - we don't just publish death notices, however it is a major draw to the site. we also have legal, financial and practical advice and links to charitable orgs and counselling services.
This is turning into a sales pitch, sorry! the truth is we feel we are providing a very useful and dignified service and we just want people to use it - it is all free! We also want the funeral directors to post us in the same way they do the other (paid) media outlets.
aside from funeralannouncements, there are no mainstream org's who we can copy in relation to promotional items - i just think a keyring or usb stick is a waste of money.
sorry for the rant ivory, and thanks for the reply!
