About Us

Funeral Programs Plus (formerly Earth Ashes Dust) is a nationwide service based in Southern California. Collectively, we have decades of experience with online retail sales, web design and funeral support services since 1999. We have been providing professional funeral support services since 2018. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we expanded services to include Livestreaming local funeral and memorial services. Since then, we have expanded further and now provide services nationwide in the United States and print and ship materials from several digital locations in the West, Midwest and on the East Coast.* We changed our business name in 2023 to "Funeral Programs Plus" to better reflect the services and products that we offer.

The idea for providing funeral support services came from the owner, Mark R. Dotson, attending several funeral services in Southern California and realizing the need for quality funeral and memorial service programs (aka "obituaries") in the community. We have over 40 years of experience in business, law and retail sales, and extensive education, knowledge and experience in web design, retail sales, desktop publishing, word processing, graphics and printing.

What makes Funeral Programs Plus stand out from similar services is our personal service and attention to details. We meet with our customers via telephone, videoconference or in person whenever practical and possible. Also, we do most of the work for our customers, rather than have them try to create and print products themselves.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

*Inglewood, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo, California; Wisconsin; Washington, D.C.; and Baltimore, Maryland.

Funeral Programs Plus will design, print and ship your obituaries, memorial posters, prayer cards, bookmarks and "thank you" cards anywhere in the United States from six nationwide locations. Rush and delivery charges may apply.

We are proud of our service record. We have never missed a deadline since we began in 2018.
