2) The Changing Landscape of Funeral Service: Macroenvironmental Factors and Marketing Strategies
Author Details: John W. Crane, D.B.A-Belmont Abbey College

Abstract:
Deathcare in the United States is an important industry that is affected by several macroenvironmental factors which present funeral service providers with opportunities and threats. While total market demand of annual deaths is trending up, consumers are increasingly substituting cremation in place of burial as a means of final disposition. Socially, higher migration is contributing to a shift in the cultural norm toward cremation. Economically, overall funeral costs and inflation encourage consumers to preplan while environmental concerns influence consumer interest in alternatives to traditional burial and cremation. At a federal level, the FTC’s Funeral Rule regulates all providers of both funeral services and products. The Funeral Rule encourages non-funeral home competition but does not address the impact of the internet and related technology in providing information and pricing to consumers. As a result of these factors, funeral service providers are implementing marketing strategies to capitalize on opportunities and mitigate threats in meeting the wants and needs of the consumer.
