I have a meeting to discuss collaborating with an FD chain on some social content and possibly their internal

Podcast. I’d love to ask what subjects you think would make for helpful content for FDs and funeral arrangers. I don’t want to teach them to suck eggs!

So far I’m thinking of:

Additional personal touches such as the bloemenband (the Dutch flowerband where mourners can add flowers around the coffin) which families might not know about / cardboard coffins which can be decorated / using favourite vehicles rather than the hearse

The most meaningful funeral I have attended and why

The benefits of collaborating with celebrants on funeral plans - if we are able to take these meetings with families then we can share all the options in advance and be impartial.

Rethinking the format of the funeral to suit the person not tradition
Maybe a lighthearted one / funny moments from funerals I have taken ? Or not appropriate? Or maybe this is my ‘review and learn’ after every funeral - and some of my learnings are based on funny moments

Anyone got any other great ideas? I would really welcome them as I did a brainstorm on this months ago and have lost the sheet of paper!
