In this day and age, the average funeral home has found themselves, like it or not, in the technology fast lane. When families come to you for funeral services, now, more than ever, We have found that these families will look to the funeral home they’ve chosen, to have some of the newest technology services available. Today's funeral homes (including those who wouldn’t classify themselves as progressive) have to seriously consider technology upgrades as a priority.
For example, the average cell phone now employs several times the technology found in older sound systems. Don’t get us wrong, We're not suggesting that you have to turn your funeral home into “mission control”, but we are suggesting that Joe Consumer is now Joe Consumer with a computer for a phone.So, why does that matter to me as a funeral director?
People are becoming dependent on amazing new technologies, even in their day to day life. For example, when your families come to you for services, most will want to show a video tribute of some kind during the memorial services process. The days of “we don’t offer that kind of service” are behind us, no matter what that service may be. If a family really wants a CD or DVD recording of the service, webcasting, or a memorial video, They will find a funeral home that can make it available to them. FACT: The world will never be less “hi-tech” than it is today.
So how do I keep up?
The best advice we can give you is to keep up with repairs on existing equipment and the services that you do provide, and to ask yourself, and your families, what new services they would like to be able to utilize in their memorial experience.
For example, many funeral homes are nursing along aging sound systems, and all the ‘glory’ that comes with them. Interference from a wireless mic, scratchy pops and clicks from an old volume control etc., make the family painfully aware of your technical problems, at a time when being painfully aware is the last thing they need to be.The thought of upgrading your system can be easily dismissed, until your next service when it happens again, ruining the most important part of a families' experience with you; Their loved ones' funeral service.
So, where do I go from here?
