Not long ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was a new technology on the horizon. Fast forward to today, and AI is much more common. Search engines like Google and Microsoft Bing offer AI-generated search results. ChatGPT and Grammarly help individuals write, edit, and answer questions faster than ever.
But how have these tools impacted the funeral profession? Many new AI options have emerged specifically for funeral homes, but some funeral directors still feel apprehensive about using them.
The truth is, when used correctly, AI can benefit both you and families.
Here’s an overview of the top ways to use AI in your funeral home and the main benefits that you and your team can experience from doing so.
Let’s dive in!
When you hear someone talk about using AI in their funeral home, what comes to mind?
Perhaps using an online AI tool to write a quick internal email or find social media ideas for the month? While these uses are great examples, there are several ways funeral homes are employing AI to save time, such as:
Creating personalized tribute videos, digital guestbooks, or memorial websites
Simplifying administrative work like scheduling or documentation
Improving accessibility by using translation tools and speech-to-text apps
Writing personalized obituaries in a fraction of the time
And many more!
To better understand how AI can help you speed up tasks while keeping things personal, let's take a closer look at one process - the writing process! Specifically, let's explore how AI obituary writing tools can assist you in every stage of it.
Once you've written your first draft, received edits from the family, and revised a second draft, you’ve likely spent hours crafting a unique obituary.
With AI, you can save time by generating obituary drafts in seconds!
Passare has an AI obituary writer that automatically pulls information from a case to create an accurate first draft. This way, you'll spend less time thinking about what to write and get more time to proofread your draft before sending it to the family.
Each time you write an obituary draft, you must proofread it before sending it to the family.
When AI quickly whips up a first draft for you, you get more time to proofread your draft and send a well-written first obituary to the family.
But it doesn't end there. Many times, families want things deleted, changed, or added. With this tool, you can quickly make revisions, generate an alternative draft, or add more sections to the obituary to meet a family's request.
