Did you know 20,000+ Minnesotans turn to Google every single month looking for cremation products, services, and answers?

We just have one question: are they seeing you?
๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธMaybe you donโ€™t have the right content on your website.
โšฑ๏ธOr the right cremation products.
โ“Maybe you just had no idea this kind of opportunity exists in MN.

The reality? ๐Ÿ‘‡
The funeral home that shows up first in their Google search โ€“ with the cremation options and cremation information theyโ€™re actively looking for, often gets the call.

Weโ€™re hosting a FREE 1-hour CE program to help MN area funeral homes tap into this opportunity and be the leader in cremation services. In a way that doesnโ€™t race to the bottom to compete on price but instead gets ahead of it to inspire families around what is possible. They say best known wins, we agree.

MN Funeral Homes: Are you ready to be best known for cremation?

We promise youโ€™ll leave with real strategies you can use right away.
