Consumer expectations are evolving faster than ever, and funeral professionals must adapt to keep pace. As Generation X becomes the primary consumer of funeral services, their preferences are reshaping the industry. Unlike the Baby Boomers before them, Gen X values convenience, digital accessibility, and quality services. To remain relevant and provide meaningful support, funeral homes must reassess their offerings and embrace the tools that modern families expect.

Deathcare conferences are more than industry events—they’re where we connect, share insights, and learn from others who are just as committed to making a difference. This past September, two of our team members, Hannah Mason and Kayleigh Feschuk, attended three exciting conferences: CANA, Funeral IQ, and Selected Independent.
