Rob shares the back story of why he chose WordPress to be the CMS (Content Management System) for all of the funeral home marketing websites and cremation arrangement websites that he and his team have created. He also gives a brief history of WordPress and how its features can help funeral homes create a powerful online marketing tool for their firms. Fact Check: Rob referred to the creator of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg as a billionaire but at the time of the recording, his net worth is estimated at $450 Million and he is from Houston, Texas, not Austin, Texas. See the complete transcript here: Rob Heppell: Welcome back to the Funeral X Podcast. I'm Robin Heppell and I'm joined with my Funeral Results Marketing business partner, Jake Johnson. Hey there, Jake. Jake Johnson: Hey Rob. Rob Heppell: Hey, that was a fun little walk down memory lane there about the beginnings of Funeral Results Marketing and where it kind of all started. A number of times we kept talking about WordPress and I think it's a good topic to just dive into a little bit more for folks who haven't heard of WordPress or what it is and how it can be used for funeral homes and cemeteries and cremation providers. Jake Johnson: Yep, I agree. I learned a lot, just things that I... There are things that we discussed that I had known in connection with our relationship and the things that you do, and then I learned a lot about the other things that filled in to make Funeral Results Marketing what it is. Yes, you're right. We talked about WordPress and I've got a little experience in WordPress but I'm pretty sure you've got a lot more. So I'd love to hear you dive into that more. I think it's a valuable topic for people here. Rob Heppell: Sure. Well, yes. Looking back at the last time we chatted, I had got into the funeral home websites early, like in '96 with McCalls. And then in the early 2000s, met up with Todd Abrams from Aldor Solutions in Texas. So I started to really get into how websites were getting developed and that tenure lasted to 2006. And then I took a bit of a break from website development and I reached out to a local marketer guy, his name's Tris Hussey. He was the one that introduced me to WordPress. I said that we had the three options, Joomla, Drupal and WordPress, and he nudged me towards WordPress, and thankfully he did. But it was more of the marketing platform compared to the other two content management systems. Rob Heppell: At that time, I realized that, hey, this is really search engine friendly and Google friendly right out of the box. I thought that it would be a great platform for funeral homes. But at that time, it was still just a blogging platform. It didn't look like a website. And right at that time, there was this little bit of movement of going from a blogging platform to a CMS, a content management system. And really there wasn't anything inside the software of WordPress. It was just how it was applied basically through the themes. I was working with a developer and he introduced me to a couple of theme developers, one guy named Cory Miller from iThemes and Brian Gardner from StudioPress and Genesis. Rob Heppell: These guys are quite well known in the theme development space. I was having conversations, direct conversations with them because I'd be kind of pushing the limits on them like, hey, can't we make it look like a website, can't we create a navigation bar, and working through these little things. So it was kind of neat to be working with these guys. They've gone on to create lots of high-performance WordPress themes, and we'll get into themes in a little bit. And as I mentioned before, my strategy is I don't want to have to learn it but I'd like to be able to connect the dots to funeral service. So if this is out there in the big world and other companies are using it, how does it apply to funeral service? Rob Heppell: What we did,
Rob recalls his first involvement with a funeral home website in 1996, discovering how obituaries could be found by Google and the path he took to create the digital marketing agency, Funeral Results Marketing (and why he chose that name). Then Rob and Jake talk through the suite of services that help funeral professionals be more successful online. See the complete transcript here: Rob Heppell: Welcome back to the Funeral X podcast. I am Rob Heppell and I'm joined with my Funeral Results business partner, Jake Johnson. Hey Jake, how's it going today? Jake Johnson: Hey, Rob. Very good. Rob Heppell: Great. Well, enjoyed the story of Johnson Consulting and after that, we were talking. He said, "Okay. Well, you need to do... You need to give the story behind Funeral Results Marketing," so I think we'll tackle that today. Jake Johnson: Exactly. Exactly. I mean, it goes without saying. How did you start to offer websites and other marketing services? Give me a little more background on that. Rob Heppell: Yes, for sure. So I'll give you a little bit of the early part and then will get into Funeral Results. So I started with McCalls in Victoria in '86 right out of high school as a funeral director, and then lots of things go in 10-year chunks. So in 1996, I helped McCalls with their first website, and then for myself, I thought, "Oh, you know what? I should get heppell.com," and I got it and get this, Jake, this is from Network Solutions and it was $20, and I guess that was too much money. They felt that they were charging too much, so they actually sent me a t-shirt, and I'll take a picture of it and I'll put it in the show notes because it's quite funny. It's not looking too great, but it was good quality. It's nice and thick. Rob Heppell: So as things progressed, in 2002 I met Todd Abrams and the unique thing about Todd is his family's funeral home is the one directly north of my uncle and grandfather's funeral home in Ontario. So there's Bolton, which was Egan's, and then if you drive north, the next one was Abram's Funeral Home in Tottenham, and I ran into Todd at a trade show. It was an FSAC in Whistler, and we got talking and I'm like, "Hey, I think your name sounds familiar," and here he is, he's this tech guy from Texas. Yes, he didn't stay with the funeral, got into technology, started websites, and so I started working for him, representing his company through Canada and they became Aldor Solutions and FDMS, and FDMS is a very familiar company to both you and me, and continue to work with them. Rob Heppell: So it's just funny how these things start and how they continue to circle back and continue to be part of the story. I went back to school, to university, got my business degree in entrepreneur management, took marketing courses, and this would've been early 2000s, and 2006 I created a website for myself off of WordPress, and I noticed that it was quite easy to use compared to... I played around with HTML and it was starting to get over my head, and WordPress made it a lot easier, and at this time, I'd left Aldor Solutions. I was doing more SEO and offering those services plus different training. Being in Victoria, our cremation rate when I started in '86 was 67%, and I believe in the mid-2000s, it was around 88%, and now it's 93%. So we were kind of always on the verge of something new, everyone else had... And Victoria to this day still probably has one of the highest cremation rates in all of North America to 93%, but it's been steady at that rate for about five years. Jake Johnson: Yes, it makes you wonder, something like that, like just where the cremation rate ends up across the US. Of course, we're all wondering what that answer's going to be as we head towards it. I don't know. I was just thinking about that when you said that. Rob Heppell: Yes. I think there's going to be certain number of people,

I wasn't brought up through conventional parenthood…There were 10 kids in our family so we had to raise ourselves at a young age. They also never told us what to do and rather let us grow and experience for ourselves hands-on.It allowed us to become much more responsible, which I loved. My dad was a Bodybuilder and a Football player and my mom was a martial artist and a lot of the commitment and consistency they put into those sports I paid close attention to.Now I get to do the same to my son.Just like how I paid close attention to the values and actions of my parents, my son will do the same, which means I must be my best every single day and keep striving to become better…...and show him he can do the same.It is my duty to help my son understand he has 2 choices ahead of him…He can take what life gives him and accept it, living a life of regret…Or he can decide to not react and instead act by building his life to suit his vision and ultimately find fulfillment.Life is a buffet and it must all be tasted, I will encourage Titan at a young age to dip his fingers and toes into everything possible…...how else will he find what his true passion in life is?Eventually, something will be found that resonates within.Once that passion is found, combined with the mindset I have displayed during fatherhood, he will learn the art of setting goals and doing everything in his power to achieve them, wholeheartedly regardless of anything.That is how I view my journey as a father, this is my goal I'm sharing with you.I invited over my good friend Todd Abrams CEO of DadBod. It's allowed me to expand and broaden my horizons. This was a great interview where we talk about fatherhood and crushing mediocrity by daring to think differently.Don't Lighten up, TITAN UP!
