Research shows that under normal circumstances, the average person understands and retains only about 50% of any given conversation. Grief experts tell us that someone who has suffered a recent loss will have an especially difficult time listening and processing information.
Families who have lost loved ones are faced with making a lot of decisions at a time when they are not always able to focus on the task at hand. Given that most people are not overly familiar with outer burial containers, communicating the importance of using a lined, sealed burial vault to those left behind can be particularly challenging.
Trigard’s goal is to provide funeral directors and cemetery sales professionals with resources to support and enhance their burial vault presentation. We appreciate you taking the time to learn more about how we can help you create the perfect display.
Wall Displays
Designed to assist families with the decision-making process, Trigard’s FREE customizable wall displays feature high-resolution burial vault images as well as text that highlights the level of protection each product provides. They also call attention to the different ways a vault can be personalized.
The artwork is printed on PVC foam board and then cut into paneled sections for fast shipping and easy installation. Included with the startup kit are 3M Velcro Command™ Strips and aluminum H-channel that the panels slide into to form an attractive frame.
Here is a quick overview of the customization options:
- Available in various heights and widths
- Can feature 3, 5, or 6 vaults with swatch choices
- Funeral home or cemetery name on tent
- Choice of graveside set up or backhoe image
- Several tent, chair cove, and skirt colors
If you are looking for a space-saving, cost-effective way to update your selection room, we highly recommend ordering this popular display through your Trigard supplier.
Alternative Display Options
In addition to our standard wall displays, we also have alternative displays that can fulfill a more specific need.
Funeral homes and cemeteries that are in the process of transitioning over to Trigard are encouraged to inquire about our new x-banner stands. They work well as interim displays since they can be customized to show more than one product line.
Because x-banner stands are portable and easy to set up, they are also smart choices for locations that prefer more adaptable solutions or have plans to remodel their selection room in the near future.
PVC posters are another versatile option available through your Trigard dealer. They can be used as reference during the arrangement conference or as an add-on educational display in the selection room.
Tactile Experience
One of the best ways to enhance a product presentation is to create a hands-on experience.
Trigard has two different options that showcase our top-selling Healing Tree® vault and give families a sense of what it feels like to take part in an interactive ceremony.
Our lightweight, foam-filled Healing Tree® vault is ideal for a selection room that can accommodate a full-size unit. Whereas our Healing Tree wall display® that features a sample section carapace complete with Memory Rings® is best-suited for smaller spaces.
Miniature vaults can also be ordered in addition to, or in lieu of, our modern wall displays. They are intended to give families a general idea of the overall look and feel of a burial vault.
Trigard Connect Burial Vault Builder Tool
Another exciting resource that has recently been made available nationwide and in Canada is Trigard Connect.
The online portal gives funeral homes access to place new orders, add notes and update existing orders, and automatically emails the production status to customers.
Current products that are available on this tool include burial vaults, urn vaults, and Serenity® casket vaults.
Personalization features and accessories like precious metals, polymer colors, Appliqué images and more can be viewed on any screen, giving the family a visual so they can select a vault that meets their needs.
Funeral homes and cemeteries can start using the standard portal for free at demo.vaultdealer.com or sign up to start ordering from your local dealer here.
Boosting Sales and Improving Family Satisfaction
Funeral homes and cemeteries that have updated displays consistently show higher sales averages. And equally important, families that are able to see a truer, more accurate representation of what they are purchasing feel more confident about their decision.
