Why do we have funerals? What does a funeral offer to a family? Isn’t it just easier to not do anything? How can professionals in caring capacities help their families know what to do? How do we articulate the value of the funeral? How do we serve as consultants or guides for our families? How does the change in religious preferences and the growth in cremation choices affect a funeral home’s business model? How do Certified Celebrants add value and meaning to services for your families?

This discussion focuses on the need for a personalized ceremony, options that are available to families and how everyone on a funeral home or cemetery staff can make the service a memorable and meaningful event. It will provide statistics about the changing demographics, provide sample ceremonies and services that can be provided for those families who wish to have a specialized funeral service and give practical actions for funeral professionals in serving their families in new and unique methods.
