Lovely day for a funeral and a unique one too. This will probably be the only funeral that I am looking forward to attending! It helps that the “deceased” is still very much with us, of course. But what a great idea from Simon Ferrar, to provide us with an opportunity to attend and experience a natural burial. An alternative burial that is argued to be “easy on the eye, kind to our hearts and gently to our world.” I am also looking forward to thinking about key questions such as: Why do we do burials? How do we do burials? What do they mean?

My father-in-law passed away on November 3, 2024. He was a rock for the family and I will greatly miss him. A year ago, he penned these words on how to be successful in America. As a tribute, I wanted to share them here. 1. Have an employable occupation, trade or special skill. 2. Go to work every day 3. Spend less than you make 4. Learn how to save, every little bit helps 5. If you get married, stay married (they modeled 51 years of marriage) 6. Be tough 7. Set your standards high - be a person of integrity 8. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes (you learn more from mistakes than successes) 9. Seek wise counsel 10. Learn from the consequences of your actions 11. To whom much is given, much is expected (this doesn’t have to relate to money) 12. Love your God with all of your heart, all of your soul and all of your mind. https://lnkd.in/gmMUTNsw

The definition of the word memorial is "something that keeps remembrance alive." Today, we think on the warriors who've defended our freedom. Thank you to all those who sacrificed their lives for us! #memorialday2024 #GeldinInsurance #GetInsured #CaliforniaInsurance #CaliforniaHealthInsurance #CaliforniaLifeInsurance #HealthInsuranceExpert #CaliforniaDentalInsurance #CaliforniaInsuranceAgency #CaliforniaMedicareExpert

What a great turnout National Funeral Directors Association 2024 was! This year as sponsors, our CEO Jessica also held a brief talk on “Crafting Remarkable Remembrance in the Digital Age.” For the lovely faces we saw this year, thank you for dropping by our photo booth and creating wonderful memories with us. Check out https://lnkd.in/et2Ukn-i for the the fun photos! Always an enlightening experience at the NFDA, once again we saw the resounding challenges in the shifting market place. This includes: 🔴 Funeral service providers now need to find new ways of engagement and monetization, all the while staying unique and cost efficient. 🔴 People are not willing to spend high costs on traditional funerals and would rather find their own solutions, such as going directly to cremation. 🔴 Because of generational change, people are changing their views on how to cope with death worldwide. Now is all the more important to provide remarkable remembrances. Personalization, emotional engagement, innovative formats, community involvement, and lasting impact form the pillars of a remarkable remembrance. We must try to recall, and to remember beyond mere respect or obligation. With fading memories in mind, it is necessary to inspire deep, collective remembrances worthy of remark. This represents one of Revere’s core mission. Let Revere be your partner in providing solutions to these changes. Our digital remembrance platform personalize memorial experiences, strengthen customer relationships, and differentiate your offerings — all while being cost-effective. At Revere, we offer a holistic solution—software, hardware and consultation—that empowers our clients to stay ahead and build lasting connections with their customers. From fostering a deeper engagement with customers to streamlining operational workflow, we are revolutionizing the industry: https://lnkd.in/e5hTsniN 🌱 We hope to see you again soon in 2025!

Have you decided what you want for your own funeral? Although difficult to think about, putting down in writing some simple wishes will be greatly appreciated by whoever will have the responsibility of arranging your funeral. To help you we have put together a document that will guide you https://lnkd.in/eGWeDX8e

What is direct cremation? Direct cremation is a term sometimes referred to as a “no ceremony cremation”, “a basic cremation” or “a simple cremation.” It’s the final disposition of a body performed soon after a death either at a crematory or a funeral home that houses its own crematorium. What are the differences between direct cremation and traditional cremation? A direct cremation without a service at a funeral home or place of worship is a popular option for those who prefer to have a private memorial service at home. Having a service in a chapel or place of worship is considered a traditional cremation service. Learn more.
