Let’s face it: funerals are the party no one wants to plan. But, can hiring party planning professionals for funerals and memorial services prompt more families hold such events for loved ones? Will making event planning easier for families encourage more memorialization?
Allison Copening, CEO of Seasons Funeral Planning Services
Seasons Funeral Planning in Las Vegas, Nevada is not a funeral home nor do they take the place of the funeral home. They are the guidance counselors a family sees before visiting or selecting a funeral provider. They help families better understand the process and determine the best funeral home to meet their needs and budget. Then they take on many of the tasks that funeral directors leave to the family.
Allison Copening, CEO of Seasons Funeral Planning, joined host Gail Rubin on A Good Goodbye Radio to discuss the changes her company and others like it bring to the funeral services industry.
Topics include:
- How a funeral planning service is different from a funeral home
- Why families are often uninformed about all the details associated with a death
- What families need to know if there’s an unexpected death
- Who uses outside funeral planning services
- What are Certified Celebrants and what they do that’s so special
