You work hard to keep your mailing lists clean and up to date. But one thing that address verification and change of address processing won’t tell you is whether your prospect has passed away or not. That’s where Anchor Software’s Deceased Suppression system can help. We use multiple sources to generate an extensive and accurate database of individuals who are deceased, allowing you to remove those individuals from your mailing lists and marketing efforts.

This database is supplied with the system and updated regularly. It is comprised of over 60 million records derived from the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Death Master File, augmented by records derived from Anchor’s proprietary sources. Deceased Suppression provides an integrated turnkey application that can add $$$ to your bottom line.
