HOW IT WORKS
We Found a Better Way
CFS websites include integrated flower ordering. Unlike other website providers, we don’t use wire services. Instead, we work directly with the local florists that you hand-pick and handle the transactions ourselves.
Each of the florists that you nominate will operate a self-managed store in the CFS system. With this, they can:
Set their own prices, receiving 100% of the amount they define.
Add, remove and edit their own product offerings.
Set their own store hours and vacation.
Set the time they need to make flower arrangements.
Your website marks up the florist’s wholesale prices and we split the proceeds with you 50/50. Our margin is significantly less than typical wire services. You may also forgo any or all of your commission, at your discretion, further reducing the retail markup.

“Honestly, after spending 20 years assisting families in creating obituaries, I’m embarrassed at how impressive of a job the Tribute Obituary Writer does. I thought at first it was like the software programs in the past that used fill-in-the-blanks to input names into a badly written obituary. This is not the case. I encourage our families to use it before they come in to make arrangements now.”

Who & How Tribute Accessibility Helps
Motor Impaired
Help people with motor impairments when you pause animations, add pop-up navigation tips, and enable keyboard navigation for those who can’t use a mouse.
Color Blindness
Let people who don’t see colors the same way as others adjust them through the smart contrast and high saturation tools, so they can better understand content.
Visual Impairments
Tailor your site to the visually impaired with large text and cursors, paused animations, legible fonts, high color saturation, and hover-over alt text on images.
Seizures and Epileptic
Improve your site for people with epilepsy and similar conditions with stopped flashing content, animations, videos, and elements that can trigger seizures.
Blind
Assist people with visual impairments with a screen reader that reads text aloud and removes navigation barriers that make shopping carts difficult to access.
Cognitive Impairments
Support people with cognitive and learning disabilities with a reading guide, large text, paused animations, color contrast, and tips for identifying relevant information.
ADHD
Help people with ADHD avoid distractions and improve comprehension by stopping animations and using a reading mask to focus on specific areas.
Cognitive Impairments
One in five people have dyslexia. Improve their website experience with dyslexia-friendly fonts and paused animations for easier reading.
