“Mom didn’t want us to make a fuss.” “Just put me in a box and bury me.”
Have the Talk of a Lifetime®
We’re sure you have heard phrases like these. Perhaps only occasionally. Perhaps frequently. But chances are you’re starting to hear comments like these more and more often.
You’re not alone. Funeral professionals throughout the country experience the same thing every day. Each time someone says something like this, it impacts you, your business and your bottom line. It also points to a much bigger problem: Some people do not see value in taking time to remember and honor their loved ones at a funeral or memorial service. For them, death and grief have become something to be handled as quickly and efficiently as possible.
When you use Have the Talk of a Lifetime® in your funeral home and community, you can help reverse this trend. From workbooks and activity guides, to conversation cards and other conversation starter tools, Have the Talk of a Lifetime resources provide everything you need to inspire families to have important conversations about life and what matters most – before they have a need for your services.
Founded by the Funeral and Memorial Information Council (FAMIC), Have the Talk of a Lifetime is now part of NFDA’s consumer education initiative, Remembering A Life.
If you are a member of a FAMIC-member organization (including NFDA), you have access to everything Have the Talk of a Lifetime has to offer!
