Frazer Consultants is a technology company headquartered in Middleton, Wisconsin, that provides technology solutions and personalization tools for funeral homes.
The company’s president, Matt Frazer, started the company in 2003 as a small family-owned business selling tribute candles and other personalized tribute products to funeral homes. Today, still a family-owned business, Frazer Consultants is a leading partner to funeral homes with their array of funeral solutions.
History[edit]
Early History[edit]
Matt Frazer got his start in the funeral profession at 15 years old by selling funeral home management software. In 1999, he started selling personalized tribute candles door-to-door to funeral homes. Then in 2003, he established Frazer Consultants in Waunakee, Wisconsin.
2003 to Present[edit]
Since Frazer Consultants was founded in 2003, the company has grown to not only specialize in memorial products, but also funeral home websites, personalization tools, and other funeral technology solutions. In 2006, the company launched their first tribute video software called Video Assistant.
On August 16, 2007, Frazer Consultants sold their first holiday tribute ornament. [1] And at the end of 2007, their first printing software called Easy Print was introduced, mainly for their tribute candles. Then in 2009, the company launched Tribute Center, their print-on-demand funeral stationery product with extensive themes, images, and other personalization options. [2]
Frazer Consultants also started doing funeral home websites in 2009, which became one of their main funeral solutions in 2014. During September 2015, the company launched mobile-friendly websites.
In March 2016, their funeral payment platform Tribute Pay launched, allowing families to pay funeral bills directly on Frazer websites using any major credit card. In May 2016, they added Tribute Crowdfunding to Tribute Pay, which allowed families to raise funds directly from a loved one’s obituary. In June 2017, the company launched Tribute Loans, which allows families to apply for funeral financing directly through a funeral home’s website. [3] Frazer Consultants is currently developing Tribute Assignments, which will make it easy for families to apply life insurance policies to funeral payments.
During 2016, Frazer Consultants earned multiple awards and honorable mentions. Their digital registry book, Tribute eGuest, was a finalist for the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) Innovation Award. [4] The company also received the “Keeping it Personal” honorable mention for Tribute eGuest from the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association (ICCFA). [5] In August 2016, they received recognition for their funeral home technology solutions in an article published by In Business Madison. [6]
Also during 2016, Frazer Consultants was named Madison Magazine’s Best Place to Work 2016 for small businesses with 10 to 50 employees. [7] The company was noted for having an open and high-tech workspace, good communication, and generous employee benefits. [8]
Company Location[edit]
In May 2006, Frazer Consultants moved into their current Waunakee warehouse and in November 2012 established a separate Waunakee office. In September 2015, the company relocated the office to their current Middleton Parmenter Center location. During 2014, construction started on Parmenter Center and the building currently houses multiple businesses, including Frazer Consultants. [9]
