Families are Choosing New Funeral Technology
Adding Value to Memorial Planning
As the Internet and technology continue to grow, studies prove that over 85% of today’s families today are using the Internet to search for the information and help they need. As a result, the funeral industry is constantly introducing new and innovative funeral technology tools. Therefore, most Funeral Directors are recommending their families learn about these helpful memorial planning options as a way to help heal and remember a loved one. “When my family and I lost a close loved one, we never knew these helpful technologies existed. If your Funeral Director has encouraged you to learn more about these new and innovative memorial options, he or she should be commended.” Christopher P. Hill, Founder, FuneralResources.com
1. Memorial Websites :
Families join and share together from anywhere… Honor and tribute through online memorials
Most families are creating these everlasting personalized websites (which can be password- protected) because they allow everyone to join together in one place on the Internet, from anywhere in the world, and share the stories and memories of a person’s life. Some of the many benefits and features that can be placed on these memorial websites include pictures, videos, poems, special notes, and even donations to a preferred Church, Association, or Cause.
2. DVD Video Tributes :
Most families add a fitting DVD Tribute to their memorial service… A powerful combination of personalized photos, funeral music, and video
These video memorials are, by far, the most commonly used funeral technology for a loved ones memorial service, since they offer families a very special tribute and celebration of life. When you consider the powerful combination of personally chosen funeral music, meaningful words, and a lifetime of pictures, these video tributes produce a wonderful way to tell the unique story of a loved ones life. Most families view this as a valuable addition to a memorial service because everyone can remember all the great memories and events, as well as grieve and heal together. These memorial videos will ultimately become a treasured family keepsake, which family members
and loved ones can keep and watch forever.
3. Memorial Diamonds :
This high-tech memorial uses genuine and personalized diamonds… Creating a family heirloom and lifelong tribute that keeps memories close
New technology now offers the ability to create a genuine memorial diamond, which is hand-crafted and specifically designed to help cherish the memories of a loved one forever. By combining a small amount of cremated ashes (or even a small lock of hair), these personalized gems are rapidly becoming a popular way to remember a loved one, and also create a special family heirloom.
4. Gravestone Technology :
Cutting-edge technology brings “new life” to Gravestones… Generations connect and remember a life’s story with pictures, videos, messages
On of the newest and most innovative funeral technologies is creating a gravestone that contains much more than just a name, a few words, and/or a date. This new technology offers a “new life” to a new (or existing) gravestone by allowing families to see, share, and read the detailed story of a loved one’s life through pictures, videos, personalized symbols, as well as adding your choice of thousands of the words. Not only can families see and read this information on a cell phone, but this technology was built to last over 3,000 years for generations to come, and this personalized data is also stored and accessible on the Internet…forever.
5. Funeral Webcasting :
Can’t attend a funeral? New technology offers another option to “attend” online…
See why FOX News rated this technology: “#1 Tech Trend of 2010“
For a variety of reasons, many people simply cannot attend a funeral. However, with the advent of Funeral Webcasting, families can actually view the Memorial Service of a loved one ”live” on the Internet. Funeral Webcasting is the fastest growing technology families are adding to their memorial planning, mainly because the is only requirement to view this special event is access to the Internet. When it comes to the safety and security of this new technology, families have the ability to use a password-protected website. Also, if you cannot view the ”live” Memorial Service on the Internet either, this video can be stored and accessed at a later date.
6. Memorial Reefs :
Families can choose a new cremation memorial – an underwater living legacy… Memorial Reefs offer green burials at sea versus ash scattering or urn
By choosing the memorial option, which many refer to as a “green burial at sea”, families can now create a permanent living legacy that memorializes a loved one in a place they feel is most ppropriate. For families and individuals that choose cremation, this offers a new choice over using cremation urns, ash scattering or burying the cremated ashes. This new technology also encourages families to actively participate in both the memorial service as well as creating their personalized memorial reef, which can be through adding a personal handprint or even an
American flag (during a military honors ceremony). These memorial reefs enable families to create an environmentally safe option for their loved one’s permanent living legacy at sea.
