Blogging about funerals.
Today, I found the first funeral home I have ever seen with a blog! Good job Barkdull Funeral Home of Ohio.
I was doing research for the upcoming Ohio Funeral Home Convention this week. We find that those funeral homes that have websites are most inclined to love our family history books.
Here is what Barkdull said introducing the blog:
“Most people find the funeral business a little creepy but we’re going to try to educate the public about the importance of the funeral in the grieving process, help understand the growing trend towards cremation and the options families have with that type of disposition, and show that there are tools to help with the financial side of things.”
If this blog is done tastefully I think it will be a powerful way to help families.
I used to think Funeral Homes were creepy as well. We are now the family history company for the Death Industry. I am trying to make the adjustment.
Update: I just posted their blog on dig at the first funeral home in history to start a blog. It will be fun just to see what happens. Here is a link to go and digg it.Â
