Personalization is Redefining the Funeral Experience 

Batesville, IN – February 9, 2026 – Every life tells a story, and every family wants a funeral service that reflects the experiences and moments that made their loved one unique. Batesville’s newest personalization solutions allow families to weave meaningful touches into every detail of the service, transforming memories into lasting tributes. 

Consumer research reinforces this trend with 75% of families saying personalization is essential to how they remember and honor their loved ones, according to the Batesville Consumer Journey Market Research conducted by Burke, Inc. (October 2024). 

“By understanding how personalization has changed over time and what families today value most, funeral professionals can better guide them toward tributes that truly tell their loved one’s story,” said Jeremy Raver, product marketing manager at Batesville. “Our goal is to help turn memories into something families can hold onto long after the service is over.”  

This evolution in personalization – and what it means for the future of funeral service – will be the focus of an upcoming educational webinar hosted by Batesville, a recognized leader in the deathcare industry in North America.  

What’s Next in Family Choices®: Personalization That Tells Every Story Tuesday, February 17  

1 – 1:30 p.m. (ET) 

Presenter: Jeremy Raver, Product Marketing Manager, Batesville 

The webinar will examine how personalization strengthens connection, enhances the family experience, and provides opportunities to tell each unique story. Participants will learn about tools such as photo keepsakes, custom interiors, and licensed military  emblems, including the recently released LifeStories® MemoryFrame and LifeStories® Interiors, to help meet the growing demand for personalized services.
