Presentation
Funeral homes and cemeteries face an uphill battle attempting to encourage families to create a plan for their funeral and interment.
Discomfort with the topic, the complacency and distraction of daily routines, and uncertainty over their own preferences results in the well-known low rate of adoption for Pre-Planning. These apparently insurmountable mindsets may suggest that marketing should focus exclusively on the At-Need segment.
But the Pre-Planning segment is too important to be ignored. But how can you engage a seemingly disinterested audience to begin a dialog about their arrangements? Fairmount Memorial Association will share their insights from their strategy to generate pre-planning leads through content marketing and social media.
Meet Our Presenters:

Jerry later returned to the Northwest to lead Microsoft’s direct response advertising network. Discovering a passion for working with local advertisers and marketers, he started MESMERO in 2018 with the goal of helping local businesses transform and evolve their marketing in an increasingly digital landscape. An Eastern Washington University graduate, Jerry also served in the 82nd Airborne Division. He has two children, enjoys restoring pinball machines, but currently spends all his free time restoring his 1910 house.

Cremation is on the rise. Everyone believes this is the gamechanger that affects everyone. The truth is that there is more that is affecting deathcare providers than just cremation. Regulations are more rigorous. Family dynamics are changing. Options for disposition are evolving. And, if you haven’t noticed, lawsuits seem to be more common. It seems deathcare is plagued with issues. If you just sit and listen to all the issues you may just give up and run for the hills. But what issues are really at the forefront? Is there anything deathcare can do to triumph over the new challenges?
This presentation provides a look into 5 issues that affecting deathcare and include Virtual Arrangements; Identification Issues; Conflict; Ethics; and Outside Information. (I’ll give you a hint on that last one, we will be talking about alternative disposition and even a little FEMA) Oh - and if you’re scratching your head and still trying to label what ‘deathcare’ includes, it isn’t simply the funeral home or the cemetery, it is all of deathcare providers. More than identifying the issues, this presentation will also outline solutions so you – the provider – are ready and able to face the issues.
This presentation will last 1 hour and educate the audience on trends and changes in the world of deathcare providers and offer simple steps they can implement to help protect them from potential liability.
This presentation will target funeral homes, cemetarians, arrangers, managers, and those individuals who offer and provide funeral, cemetery, and cremation services. Informal lecture with audience participation including questions during lecture, audience sample scenarios, and relevant “hands-on stories”.
Poul Lemasters, ESQ.
Poul began his career in deathcare more than 20 years ago as a funeral director and embalmer. He quickly recognized that the growing risk and liability in deathcare along with the lack of support and resources for those in this profession made for a deadly combination. So, he decided to go to law school—and he passed!
Today, Poul uses his unique background in both deathcare and law to provide resources and counsel to other deathcare professionals. He gets calls for assistance in risk management, daily operational conflicts, form and contract reviews, valuations, and regulatory matters. Basically, all the exciting issues our profession has to offer. Poul advises several funeral homes, crematory, cemetery, and trade associations across the United States. He also shares his know-how with those in the field by serving as Cremation Coordinator and Advisor for ICCFA's Cremation Education Program.
You're always welcome to call Poul to learn about proactive prevention for your business, or for some reactive counseling after you get sued.

Presentation
In most businesses, where they were is a pretty good indication of where they’re headed. In Funeral Service today, that’s not really the case. Our past has given us a proud tradition, but the future seems to have another plan in mind. Samuel Adams said, “We cannot make events. Our business is wisely to improve them.” These words still ring true some 200 years later. How can funeral professionals wisely improve in light of all the events happening in the world today that are beyond control? With more than 42 years experience in the funeral business, Doug Gober has a breadth of knowledge and insight into the past, present and future of funeral service.
In this session, Doug will take stock of the current state for funeral service and how funeral professionals can be proactive in planning for the future. As the rate of change continues to escalate, understanding client family needs and building a business to meet those needs will be critical. Successful funeral professionals will find a way to take whatever comes their way – rising cremation rates, changing demographics, shifting consumer preferences – and wisely improve them. Gober will evaluate four main areas of the funeral profession along the lines of Past, Present, and Future: Merchandising, Content, Facilities, and Competition. He will look at each potential point of customer contact with our business and then delve into how each of these and our existing and potential customers. He will also tackle each area from the perspective of how to differentiate yourself in your marketplace.
Meet Our Presenter
