Aurora Casket will formally present the much anticipated ‘Advisor’ to the funeral industry September 28^th during a live online webinar.

Those interested in accessing the free webinar may view a brief informative video and register at www.AuroraCasket.com/webinar.

“Aurora’s Advisor gives our firm a new way to reach out to families in the planning process,” said John McQueen, CFSP, president and owner of Anderson-McQueen Funeral Home in St. Petersburg, Fla. “We can now provide each family we serve with a private website so they can learn more about their choices even before they meet with our staff.  I also like the fact that Advisor is all-encompassing, that it simplifies all of the products and services we offer and covers everything from management to marketing. I was also impressed by the system’s speed and accuracy in comparison to competing funeral service technology.”

McQueen refers to some of the top advancements of the new cloud based system, including the ability to access the system from anywhere at any time. Advisor allows funeral homes to present more choices to families in an easy-to-understand approach, while also automating the creation and printing of forms and documents required for funeral service. 

The interactive webinar will go into detail regarding specific benefits to any funeral home that needs to streamline and gain greater visibility of its overall operation, and the ability to better serve the needs of their families – all with no software to install, purchase or update.

Texas Association of Health Underwriters Receives Gold Certification for Developmental Excellence

Dallas, TX — September 20, 2011 — The Texas Association of Health Underwriters, TAHU, has achieved Gold Certification as bestowed by the organization’s national chapter, NAHU. TAHU is a professional organization of more than 1,900 independent health insurance agents. A recognition introduced earlier this year, NAHU’s Certification Program evaluates state and area chapters in key areas such as board involvement, strategic planning, budget, events, communications, lobbyist activities, bylaws, retention and growth.

“Gold Certification is bestowed upon chapters that have demonstrated developmental excellence in their local area, nationally and in the health care industry,” said NAHU CEO Janet Trautwein. “The volunteers in the Texas chapter met our expectations and far exceeded them.”

TAHU’s Gold Certification is one of several distinctions TAHU has received this past year at the national level. At the 81^st annual national convention in June, the organization received 14 national awards and had the most new members of any chapter, adding more than 401 members to the organization. TAHU’s Gold Certification will be recognized at next year’s convention and featured in Health Insurance Underwriter magazine.

“Receiving this certification is a collaboration of efforts and illustrates the hard work and dedication of our members and board of directors,” said Joanna Antongiovanni, president of the Texas Association of Health Underwriters. “I applaud all of our volunteers and thank them for this honor.”
