Creating One-of-One Experiences: A New Narrative for the Modern Memorial
Funeral professionals are navigating big changes when it comes to memorial services. More families and community groups are choosing to host Celebration of Life events that feel different from what their parents were used to. As these personalized and non-traditional gatherings become more popular, families are now looking to their funeral providers for guidance, structure, and creative recommendations.
In this session, Christina Andreola shares her original “One-of-One Framework:” a practical and accessible approach to create a tailored gathering that looks, sounds, and feels like the person being honoured. Based on over five hundred celebrations of life she has planned, Christina takes her vast array of event experience and will break down the questions to ask, the vendors to partner with, and the possibilities available to create an immersive and truly unforgettable memorial experience. Attendees will leave with practical tools, real-life examples (all shared with permission), and a greater understanding of how to serve the families who are looking for an experience that is “not your grandma’s funeral.”
