Most Funeral Directors are taking advantage of these new and innovative funeral technology tools because they help enhance the valuable services they offer.  In turn, this helps create a better overall funeral planning experience and relationship with the families they serve.

“If you are currently working with a Funeral Director who encouraged you to learn more about these new ways to remember a loved one…he or she should be commended for making sure you know all of these excellent options.”

1.  Memorial Websites:

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.

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.  Learn more…

3.  Memorial Diamonds:

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 keep the memories of a loved on close, as well as create a special family heirloom.  Learn more…

4.  Gravestone Technology:

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.

Can’t attend a funeral?  Believe it or not, today  you can offer the choice to watch it “live” on the internet.  Since the reality is many people cannot attend a funeral for a variety of reasons (such as their schedule, health, age, finances, and more), families are increasingly choosing to take advantage of a new technology called funeral webcasting.  This can serve an excellent option because it offers a new way to ”attend a funeral” via the Internet.  Also, if you cannot view this service ”live” on the Internet, it can also be stored and accessed at a later date.  In addition, to ensure your safety and security, you can choose offer this special event through a password-protected website.

By choosing a green burial at sea, families can now create a permanent living legacies that memorializes a loved one in a place they believe is most appropriate.  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.

Christopher P. Hill, Founder of FuneralResources.com, shares the following:

“My family lost a close loved one on Thanksgiving Day of 2008, and we never knew any of these great new funeral technologies were available.  So this personal experience helped me understand what most families are searching for, and it also inspired me to work hard every day to make sure  families and Funeral Directors take advantage of these new tools as they become available.  My goal is make sure that families know these options exist and that most families are choosing them because they help make a difficult situation a little easier.”
