4 Ways to Create Meaningful Experiences in Cemeteries

▤ Summary

We tuned in to Jason Troyer and Lynn Gibson’s session at the 2019 ICCFA conference this spring, and they had a lot of wisdom to share with cemetery owners. The gist of it is that although the expectations and culture are changing, cemeteries have the opportunity to continue to be places that have a hand in long-term human well-being by providing comfort, meaning, and hope. While rules are important to maintaining a sacred space, as cemetery professionals we should think about the messages and feelings our signage is putting out. Interactive features like a “time machine” that allows visitors to physically move different concentric rings to reflect a day, month, and year of an important date in their lives can help them feel closer to their loved one who has passed. Jason is a psychology professor, former counselor, grief researcher, speaker, and consultant for businesses who want to better serve grieving families.
