I was at the convention and found the question and the statement kinda confusing. The question asked, ” what’s your biggest challenge”. Clearly i get the question. The statement or instruction is where the confusion comes. The funeral director is instructed to place a ball in the tube that identifies what he or she would most like to re imagine. For me, challenges are future focused and re imagining is past. Anyway, I’m sure if funeral directors could have a mulligan, since 1984, there are a lot who would change the way they educated their community. It’s never too late. Thanks for the article.

The consumer has spoken with his dollars. No amount of educating families or demonstration of the value of traditional service is going to save this profession. The family of today does not see that expensive ceremonies and merchandise are necessary to honor the dead. The family has the right to care for its dead as it did in life. The up coming generation is used to quick fixes and therefore that carries over into end of life rites. Quick, efficient and as cost effective as possible.

I believe this is because they do not often observe celebrations of life – they hover around the punch bowl waiting for the closing remarks. If they saw the satisfaction gained by a valued family that receives a personalized service, they might try harder. This is selling, marketing, planning, problem solving, all rolled into one.
