- Field Quick Actions tiles for the case management system, first call and transfer log, general price list library, electronic death registration, merchandise ordering, and obituary and tribute publishing
- Our Funeral Homes tiles for every funeral home, chapel, and memorial park in the group, each labeled with its city and state
- Countdown timer to the annual leadership meeting, showing days remaining, date, venue, and a Learn More link
- Home Office Team image tiles for the executive and regional leadership, beside a Group Calendar of registrations, openings, and reporting deadlines
- Requests and Approvals tiles, Department Sites tiles for the six corporate functions, and an Around the Group image gallery
Benefits
- One homepage for every location: staff at any funeral home or cemetery see the same tools, the same news, and the same deadlines.
- Case tools one click away: the first call log, price list library, death registration, merchandise ordering, and tribute page publishing all sit on the homepage.
- New locations belong from day one: an acquisition is announced in the news and appears in the location tiles the same week it joins.
- An obvious front door for requests: capital requests, marketing changes, supply orders, and compliance concerns each get a tile instead of an email chain.
- Leadership stays visible: the executive team and each regional vice president are named, pictured, and reachable from the homepage.
- Group deadlines in one place: registration close, opening dates, and scorecard due dates all live on the group calendar.
- A tone that fits the business: quiet, dignified, and respectful, rather than a generic corporate template.
Common Questions About This Funeral Home Intranet
What is this funeral home intranet built with?
It is built entirely with standard SharePoint web parts – banner and image, news, quick links, image tiles, image gallery, countdown timer, and events – finished with a custom theme and custom fonts. There is no custom code and no third-party tooling anywhere on the page. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for funeral home and cemetery groups.
What is included on the funeral home intranet homepage?
The page opens with a branded banner, then an Announcements section for group news. Below it sit Field Quick Actions, an Our Funeral Homes tile set covering every location, a countdown to the annual leadership meeting, the Home Office Team, the Group Calendar, Requests and Approvals, Department Sites, and an Around the Group image gallery.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Everything on this page is out-of-the-box SharePoint, configured rather than coded. That matters for a funeral home group because the intranet stays stable, secure, and easy to maintain, and nothing breaks when Microsoft ships an update. There are no add-on licenses to renew and no developer to call. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds.
Can this design be customized for our funeral home group?
Absolutely. The colors, fonts, logo, photography, section names, and every link are tailored to your group. The location tiles are rebuilt around your own funeral homes, chapels, and memorial parks, and the quick actions are pointed at the case management, price list, death registration, and merchandise systems your staff already use every day.
How does this intranet handle a group that keeps adding locations?
Well. The Our Funeral Homes tiles and the Announcements section are both content-driven, so adding a newly acquired funeral home is an update rather than a redesign. A new location appears on the homepage the same day it joins, and the department sites, quick actions, and approval paths already apply to it. Growth does not mean rebuilding the intranet.
Can Greg build this funeral home intranet for our organization?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one for funeral home groups, cemeteries, and other multi-location businesses, then trains the team to keep them current.
