Revolutionizing Funeral Home Digital Signage

Revolutionizing Funeral Home Digital Signage

In a world where technology continues to reshape industries, even the most traditional sectors like funeral homes are embracing digital innovation to enhance their services. Uitvaartcentrum Oost Groningen, a compassionate funeral home dedicated to providing support during life's most challenging moments, sought to modernize their facilities. They turned to Future Forward, a forward-thinking technology company, to create a custom digital signage solution that would improve communication and simplify operations.

The Challenge: Elevating Funeral Home Services

Funeral homes are places where families come to say their final goodbyes and seek solace during times of grief. Effective communication and a serene environment are of paramount importance. Uitvaartcentrum Oost Groningen recognized that traditional name boards and information displays were no longer meeting the needs of their clients. They needed a solution that would allow them to display information efficiently, make room assignments clear, and provide real-time updates on the list of the deceased.

Future Forward's Innovative Solution

Future Forward embarked on the mission to transform the funeral home's signage system. We designed and implemented a custom digital signage solution comprising two key components:

1. E-Paper Name Boards (8 Displays): We crafted eight name boards, also known as e-paper displays, which were strategically placed on room doors. These e-paper displays allowed for the easy digital alteration of names assigned to each room. This dynamic feature eliminated the need for manual updates and ensured that the room assignments were always accurate and up to date.

2. Digital Signage Overview Boards (2 Screens): To streamline communication and provide clear information to visitors, we installed two digital signage overview boards. These large screens displayed the list of the deceased, ensuring that families and attendees had easy access to this important information. The use of TV screens added a modern touch to the funeral home's ambiance.

The Impact: Enhancing Communication and Compassion

Future Forward's innovative digital signage solution had a profound impact on Uitvaartcentrum Oost Groningen:

• Efficiency and Accuracy: The e-paper displays significantly improved room assignment management. Staff members could update room names digitally, reducing the chances of errors and ensuring that families found their way without confusion.

• Timely Comfort Through Technology: During emotional times, access to real-time information about the departed becomes crucial. Digital signage discreetly provides these updates, allowing families and attendees to find solace without constant staff intervention.

• Modern Elegance, Compassionate Setting: Digital signage brings a modern touch to funeral homes while maintaining the expected compassion and serenity. It seamlessly blends technology with empathy.

• Efficiency in Compassion: Beyond aesthetics, digital signage streamlines the funeral home's operations. Staff members can now efficiently manage room assignments and information displays, freeing up their time to provide unwavering support to grieving families.

Find a Grave App: Honoring Loved Ones Made Simple

We understand the heartfelt desire to connect with dear ones resting in peace. That's why, in addition to our digital signage solution, we're excited to introduce that we plan to develop the Grave App - an innovative app designed to ease the emotional burden of finding graves.

Our app will simplify the emotional process of locating graves. Within seconds, users can quickly find the exact spot. Whether you're a regular visitor or it's been a while, our app ensures you won't wander aimlessly. More on that coming soon...

Conclusion: A Modern Touch to a Timeless Tradition
