the décor of the funeral home which I think is quite important. The Online guest book can be printed and therefore copied for all children/ siblings/friends in contrast to the old pen and paper guest book of which there is only one copy.

Next up was like something from a fairy tale. I am not sure if it was sleeping beauty or snow white or perhaps both who resided in a glass casket for a time but Glass Caskets adorned the halls of the ICCFA expo and I have to say they looked pretty. To be clear, they are not glass but plexiglass and not in any way biodegradable but they are reusable. According to the owner of Clearview Caskets, COVID greatly helped the company’s visibility as they moved from 20 per month to 250 caskets per month in sales. Because of medical advice and the worry about the spread of COVID families chose closed caskets but still wanted to see their loved one and this company allowed both.
All in all the COVID break from conventions definitely seemed to have increased the levels of innovation but will they last is always the big question for me. Is the space getting more and more crowded with new innovative players and is this resulting in a more confused public or is the wide choice justified?
