Tribute Technology Acquires AdPerfect
Leading funeral home services and technology provider adds media platform.
Tribute Technology, the leading provider of funeral management and website services, with cutting-edge
personalization and technology solutions used by more than 70% of the funeral home businesses in the
United States, has acquired AdPerfect, one of the leading obituary platforms used by media companies
across North America.
“We’ve had unprecedented growth in the funeral home technology space over the last several years, so
acquiring a company with AdPerfect’s reputation in the media industry is a natural addition to our
mission -- providing unparalleled service and technology to funeral homes and families in the
communities we serve,” said Matt Frazer, CEO, Tribute Technology.
Jim McIntosh, Executive Chairman of AdPerfect, said, “We’re ecstatic to be joining the Tribute
Technology team, as the devotion and admiration they enjoy from funeral home directors across the
country demonstrates how committed they are to their customers. Being able to provide funeral homes
and local media outlets with a fully integrated platform will mean better service for families and
communities.”
A partner of the Local Media Consortium, a strategic alliance of leading local media companies,
AdPerfect provides LMC members with AdPerfect Obituaries, a platform for hosting online obituaries
and self-serve obituary placement for funeral homes and private party customers.
“We are excited about the merging of AdPerfect and Tribute Technology, which will bring greater cost
benefits to our local media members,” said Fran Wills, CEO of the LMC. “Helping local journalism thrive
in a changing media environment is our goal, and this acquisition will help local media increase their
revenues, lower their costs and incorporate both print and online into one platform with one vendor.”
