Jim, this is a great question. Something we encourage everyone in this profession to ask everyday. What funeral professionals offer families has always been valuable, and will continue to be, as long as we don’t mistake thinking they want what they’ve always wanted or needed. Thanks for your comment!

Hi Brad, these are all great questions! For us, our main client base is funeral homes and directors, although we do serve some cemeteries as well. Have you checked out NFDA, or simply googled search terms related to cemetery research? Another good one would be to search “death positive” and cemetery together. Hope this helps!

Have been enjoying your ‘blog’

I have been wondering lately why so many articles in all death care industries are about the funeral home and director.

Are you aware of any studies that have been published about cemeteries? Not necessarily those beautiful outdoor museums but those smaller private and church cemeteries that are often located in small towns and villages.

Is any information available on how many visits these cemeteries have in a year?
Does a well-groomed cemetery mean more visits?
Does an ‘App’ one can have on their phone to show them physically where a certain grave is?
