Eternal Urns, Inc.
Joins Management Assistance Program

Selected Resources, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Selected Independent Funeral Homes which provides a wide range of products, consultants and special advantage resources exclusively to members of the Association, has announced that Eternal Urns, Inc. of Wheeling, Illinois, is the newest participant in its Management Assistance Program (MAP).

Eternal Urns is one of the leading providers of designer cremation urns and flag case products exclusively designed by the Burlini Studios. Their unique Piano Wood® finish with a rich rosewood-stain, multi-layer piano glaze finish and hand-rubbed edges with interactive accents add appeal to every piece in the collection.

Members of Selected Independent Funeral Homes have access to an exclusive Reserve Collection of urns, photo albums and flag cases through a special discount pricing program. In addition, Eternal Urns pledges that:

• All products in the Reserve Collection are exclusively offered to the public by Selected members and are of excellent quality made to the highest standard.
• Authorized sales representatives are able to provide answers in a timely manner to any questions regarding products or custom services.
• Customized products will be made to your specifications.
• All products listed will be in stock or a discount of five percent will be applied to any backorder or substitution.

“We are pleased to welcome Eternal Urns to the Management Assistance Program,” said Amy Hunt, manager of Selected Resources. “The artistic talent of the Burlini Studios combined with the beauty of the piano wood glaze finish and other details offer a unique product selection for members looking to build their cremation offerings for families. The quality of the products is impressive, and the attractive pricing will no doubt make Eternal Urns a valuable resource for members.”

For a limited time, members also have an opportunity to choose either a Gold or Silver Package. The Gold Package features an offer to purchase any three units in the collection and receive three units free. The Silver Package is an offer to purchase one unit at a
30 percent discount from Eternal Urns’ standard pricing.

“I encourage members to take advantage of the especially affordable, limited-time, introductory offers,” said Hunt. “It's a great way to put the products on display at minimal risk.”

Since 1988, the Management Assistance Program has helped members of Selected Independent Funeral Homes grow their businesses by improving efficiency and profitability.
