Three Trends of Funeral Industry In 2021

 

A funeral is not just a final farewell to your loved one; increasingly, a funeral has become a reflection of the unique life led by the deceased person. Hence, traditional funeral services are being replaced by new innovative ideas that make a funeral a relaxed, celebration of life event. That is why most of the funeral homes in Miami are increasingly adopting these new ideas and offering them to their prospective clients. If you are managing one, it is high time you know what the three funeral trends of 2021 are.

 


Cremation jewelry

Topping the list is cremation jewelry. In recent years, cremation has become the choice of a funeral for many people. The ashes of the loved person are sometimes kept to help remember the person more. But increasingly people are turning them into jewelry so that they can feel more connected to their most missed person. People are putting a bit of the ash in sterling silver pendants, charm bracelets, or even rings. Some people are not keen on that but are turning the final thumbprint of the deceased person into thumbprint necklaces. Another way people are remembering their loved ones is by turning the ashes of the loved one into memorial diamonds. Now, of course, a funeral home cannot offer that service because it has to be done in a lab; but they are partnering with such facilities to offer such services to their clients.

 

Eco-friendly burials

Being green and eco-friendly is the need of the hour, and there are many funeral homes across the country that are specializing in offering eco-friendly burials. Green burials include burying the body in a biodegradable casket and forgoing embalming which hampers the natural decaying of a body. Such bodies are buried in a green burial ground where you can also bury urns or scatter the ashes if the clients opt for cremation. There are other unique burial options available now including the Neptune Memorial Reef located on the coast of Key Biscayne, and not very far from Miami. Here loved ones can create a final underwater resting place for their loved ones, which can also include their four-legged family members. The site is designed by a marine biologist who hopes to create an artificial reef and attract marine life to populate it. It is certified by environmental agencies as well as wildlife agencies and the best part is, buying a plot here is even less than a burial plot in the increasingly costly burial grounds.

 

Celebration of Remembrance

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has bought many changes to the funeral industry and one of them is that families could not hold a proper funeral gathering for the loved one. This is why funeral homes are offering Celebration of Remembrance services which are like memorial services but held much after the person’s actual funeral was held. The families get more time to arrange such a memorial and it is more personalized and intimate.

 

These are three of the many trends in the funeral industry that you need to look out for if you are in this industry.
