Dying to
Do Business with CrossCheck
Dwayne Spence, an Ohio
mortician and chair of the National Funeral Directors Assocation's
government relations committee, states, "Once you've buried your
goods and services, there's nothing tangible to get
back."
The reason for such a
quote is that frequently funeral homes will extend credit to families
unable to immediately cover funeral costs. However, estates are often
insolvent or there are medical bills to pay and the funeral home
loses out on payment. What's a funeral home to do?
CrossCheck, Inc., the
nation's largest privately held check-guarantee company has been
assisting funeral homes for over 15 years. CrossCheck has designed
programs tailor-made for the funeral industry. These programs will
assist funeral homes, while allowing them to keep a sensitive nature
to their clients needs.
The most popular and
widely-used CrossCheck service in the funeral industry is the
Multiple Check program. This service lets a customer write several
checks to a funeral home with specific dates of deposit, with
CrossCheck guaranteeing each check. This service is designed to give
the customer time to acquire the funds needed, while assuring payment
to the funeral home. Funeral homes that strive for solutions for
their clients will appreciate this service.
The basic program
CrossCheck offers funeral homes is the convenience of not having to
second-guess their check-writing customers. Is this check good or
not? With CrossCheck's check guarantee service, this will no longer
be a worry for funeral homes. Check acceptance is fast and
worry-free, they even make taking out-of-state checks and checks from
Canada, Guam, and Puerto Rico easy, with no hassles.
What happens when a
check bounces? It's not the funeral home's problem; CrossCheck pays
the funeral home the face value of the check.
These services give
funeral homes the flexibility to assist their clientele, at the same
time, securing their check transactions. CrossCheck's service is easy
to use and affordable, far less than credit card transactions. For
more information, call (800) 654-2365, or visit their web site at
