I am very busy lately so I don't have time to write a post. Instead I will quickly discuss something which continues to come up every now and then, and while not directly about the funeral industry iy relates to the industry.
People comment about the changing nature of society, specifically how technology is making us less social. To me this is a simplistic and incorrect argument; nothing has changed much really. This is an old issue that has been brought up time and time again, as the web comic xkcd so nicely demonstrates. You can view the comic in full below.

The New ESMP Site
Estern Suburbs Memorial Park Cemetery & Crematorium (ESMP) launched their new site a white ago. At the time I was both busy and waiting to see what other changes might be made. But ait is now about time I discussed the new site. As it is well worth discussing and a great step in the right direction.

The Funeral Industry is Not Alone
Not long ago I wrote a post about how the funeral industry should be embracing the internet and public interaction. That the funeral industry is very innovative, but reluctant to interact with the public. So funeral companies tend to avoid the internet, which is often seen as a very public space.
This problem is not just faced by the funeral industry. Other organisations, systems and industries are also subject to these same issues. Below is a good video which outlines how the academic system is encountering similar problems. And how it will need to embrace change.
The concept behind the video is very similar to what I was working with for the post. It also illustrates that the funeral industry is not 'backward' or 'old fashioned'. It is facing the same problems as modern academic systems. The fact that the funeral industry faces these troubles only supports the idea that it is modern and current.

The Funeral Industry & the Internet: step forward or be left behind
Overall the funeral industry has been quite late to the internet. Even now the industry is still not truly active or taking advantage of the online opportunities.
In this post I explain how the industry is not very internet active and why this is actually a big issue for the industry. I also discuss why the industry is so hesitant of the internet, even at their own loss.
