FLETCHER — Shively Funeral Homes has invested in the community in order to promote the saving of lives.

The funeral home asks area residents to download the Vital ICE (In Case of Emergency) app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play to their smart phones and enter in their code: No. 3072 for the St. Paris location and code: No. 5326 for the Fletcher location.

Shively Funeral Homes is making this potentially life-saving app available for free to download in the community. This app is available to the entire community. Questions about the app can be answered at www.vitalboards.com/vitalice.

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 emergency room staff can further access this critical information.
