Back Story and Need

The New FAMIC Study shows Americans clearly recognize the importance and value of memorialization. September 13, 2010 Brookfield, Wis. - An overwhelming majority of Americans over the age of 40 who have attended funerals believe that funeral and memorial services are a valuable and important part of commemorating the life of a loved one, according to the nationwide study conducted by telephone in April by Harris Interactive on behalf of the Funeral and Memorial Information Council (FAMIC). "This important survey demonstrates yet again that the funeral industry plays a key role in helping families through the grief that comes with the death of a loved one."

President Kaye Starnes said:

"Pre-planning Funerals continues to register with consumers. The majority of respondents - 66% - indicate they would pre-arrange their own funeral. Those that have pre-arranged do so most often so that others do not have to worry, eliminating stress for their loved ones and easing the way after they are gone. This telephone survey was conducted among 500 adult Americans, 40 years in age and older, who have attended two or more funerals in the last year.

Oversamples were conducted among

100 younger Americans, 20-39 years of age, who have attended two or more funerals in the last year.

100 African Americans, 40 years and older, who have attended two or more funerals in the last year.

100 Hispanics, 40 years in age or older, who have attended two or more funerals in the last year.

50 Asians, 40 years in age and older, who have attended two or more funerals in the last year."

Historically in the U.S. we find statistics that support this need that many Americans have to be prepared for their own deaths and or the unfortunate death of a dependent or elderly family member. Many families want to preplan, but are reluctant to go to the funeral home as the surveys show.
