Woodstock, IL – October 20, 2020: Thumbies® Inc., creator of one-of-a-kind jewelry and keepsakes worn or carried in memory of a loved one, is pleased to announce a new affiliation with industry-leader Bass-Mollett Publishers. This strategic alliance will allow Bass-Mollett’s team of independent representatives to offer the Thumbies line of jewelry in their portfolio of products, supporting the needs of their funeral partners nationwide.

“Our goal is to be a complete resource for funeral directors,” said John Flowers, CEO of Bass-Mollett Publishers. “Working directly with the team at Thumbies will allow us to provide another important service to our partners, the directors who are helping families in their time of need, as they begin the healing process.”

“We are looking forward to launching this dynamic partnership with the Bass-Mollett team,” said Wayne Read, President of Thumbies. “Especially during this time, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, it has become even more important to support the funeral directors. They are guiding people who have lost a loved one in an entirely new way, to provide solace in a time that we have never before experienced. We are grateful to be part of the healing process and to be working with the entire team at Bass-Mollett.”

This new partnership is being fulfilled as the NFDA kicks off their 2020 International Convention & Expo. Both Bass-Mollett and Thumbies will be exhibiting at the virtual event, and attendees are encouraged to visit company reps in both booths to meet the teams and have any questions answered.

The partnership will be finalized and in place for Bass-Mollett partners on November 1, 2020.
