SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN — Wagner Family Funerals have invested back into the community in order to promote the saving of lives.

The business recently recognized a unique opportunity to assist local first responders through a marketing initiative that could help save lives. The funeral home is asking that residents download the Vital ICE (in case of emergency) app, from either the Apple App Store or Google Play, for smartphones and enter in their code: #2435 for the Cassopolis location, or code: #9128 for the Three Oaks location. Wagner Family Funerals are making this potentially life-saving app available for free to download in the community as a way of showing their gratitude for allowing them to serve, officials said.

In the event of an emergency, first responders can use the Vital ICE app to retrieve the user’s vital information. This information can then be easily taken on the ambulance to the hospital, or sent directly to the hospital from the Vital ICE app, where ER staff can further access this critical information.

The app is available to the entire community, regardless of age. Questions about the app can be answered at vitalboards.com/vitalice.
