The Hill Funeral Home is family owned and has roots deep in the history of Westerville, Ohio. Hill Funeral Home was formed in 1952 when the late Frank Hill, Sr. acquired the Stockdale Memorial Funeral Home which was founded in the 1890's. Their records go back to that time. As such, they have strong ties with the past history of the community and are proud of the relationships they have built over the decades. This dedication to community involvement is continued by Frank Hill, Jr.
1) market the funeral home
2) educate individuals on the topic of pre-need funeral planning and
3) provide an invaluable resource for the families they serve covering helpful topics relating to pre-need, at need and after care
Our sales team recruited a selection of local businesses to fund and be included in the publication. We ensured each business could provide a product or service that would meet the needs of families planning a funeral, be it pre-need or at-need.
Following the existing brand identity and keeping a local, family owned feel, our design and copywriting team set to work to provide 1000 P4 portrait premium ‘coffee table’ style books, complemented by a HTML5 digital version that could be shared to the wider family and be used as a multiplatform marketing tool by the client.
We used a mix of local and stock photos and information taken from the client's website. Added to this we supplied comprehensive industry specific information resulting in a complete resource that will assist families the client serves and help the client to market their funeral home to the local community.
"Our advertisers and families are very happy with the results of our Pre-need guide. The checklist is something we have been asked to provide for a long time, and having it in such an attractive, professionally produced format has added to the satisfaction of our families. We are confident they will hold on to them, and utilize the content. Our advertisers are pleased to be able to share copies with their customers as well. The additional content about our facilities and services works well in tandem with the information we are presenting on Facebook and our website.
Tony Smith and Jamie Swindells were excellent to work with and very professional when representing us to our potential advertisers. Forming partnerships with our advertisers has helped to strengthen our community presence. We look forward to continue to distribute this guide in our community to individuals and related businesses."

Although we have only had them in-house for a few months, the response from the local sponsors and the public has been nothing but positive. The books are of the highest quality, and I am very proud to use them for off-site presentations, and to hand to out to Preneed clients. Highly recommend!!"

Partner Plus Media exceeded our expectations in both the quality of their service and the quality of their product. Our customer service representatives were patient and responsive to our requests and the magazine itself is a beautiful resource for families that really reflects the pride that we take in our work.

Stallings funeral Home
At first I was skeptical about whether or not we should consider Partner Plus Media and the idea of a magazine for our business. A funeral home friend and colleague highly recommended that we give it serious consideration, so I took the plunge. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The magazine reflects who we are as a business in a very professional way. We were able to customize it to our liking and the process was simple and straight forward. An added bonus is that we have great business partners in the publication. Some of them are old friends, but others are people that are in the community that have become important new advocates. This has become a valuable resource in how we market our business and present ourselves. I enthusiastically recommend Partner Plus Media to anyone considering working with them.

We are very happy with the professionalism of Partner Plus Media, and the high quality product they produce. The opportunity to customize the guide with local area photographs, and photographs of our staff was a huge benefit. Our clients love them, and stop in at the funeral home just to pick up a planning guide for a family member or friend. Our pre-need representative gives them to every client he meets with. We believe that the guide represents our business well, and is a worthwhile marketing vehicle for the businesses who chose to advertise in it. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Partner Plus Media.
I would like to thank Partner’s Plus Media for allowing our funeral home to work with them. The Funeral Planning Guide is an amazing high quality magazine style guide that highlights our funeral home and what we can offer for our community. We could not be happier with their product and our relationship together. Thank You!

We have been with Partner Plus for about 4 years, and we love it. Families, businesses, Hospices, and churches appreciate the resourceful booklets. They are beautifully designed and professional. Partner Plus does all the legwork to contact local companies for advertising, and then inserts the funeral home photos and biographies. It has been zero hassle to the funeral home, with great reward reaped. Partner Plus is a dream to work with- all of the representatives have been attentive, helpful, and responsive. We would highly recommend a partnership with this company.
