And together with our partners – notably Full Circle Aftercare and Noble Health – we provide expert and comprehensive support, from easily accessible information and advice to a professional hands-on approach for those who need it.” “Every day, we have real conversations with hundreds of families from all over the country,” said Everything After operations manager Kandace Francom. “We’ve helped people find life insurance policies and other money they didn’t know could help in the event of a death, and helped them find grief resources to process the loss they’ve experienced.” NFDA Convention Highlights and Photos continue on Page B11 Everything After Wins 2022 NFDA Innovation Award Offerings from Gather and The Living Urn also awarded in the competition, which celebrates creativity and excellence in the industry. BROOKFIELD,WI— The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) presented Everything After with the 2022 NFDA Innovation Award during its International Convention & Expo. Coming in second place was the KeepTrack™ system by Gather; and Ecorial® by The Living Urn took third place. Everything After is a new service built to shift how families and funeral homes experience aftercare. Research shows that families universally face three needs after the death of a loved one: planning the funeral, navigating acute grief and juggling the logistics of settling an estate. Funeral homes are experts at meeting the first of these needs, but families are being vastly underserved when it comes to the other two. Everything After enables families to better navigate their grief and deal with the challenges in settling an estate.

I noticed in my brief stint that my breath began to fog the inside – it’s definitely designed for dead people. They made me take my boots off, as this floor model was sold at the expo!” BOISE,ID— Still wishing you were in Baltimore having a blast?
