The Life Review Interview is designed to enable the arranger to come to know the deceased through the eyes of the family. It reveals the secrets of how to demonstrate what others loved about him, his victories and defeats, kindness, compassion and other known personality traits and how to mold them into a perfect reflection of him for the funeral. It goes light years beyond funeral props and picture boards.

The Funeral Concept Development Formula created in the research years at the University of Oregon is a comprehensive method to enable the funeral director to determine exactly what ceremony concept will energize this particular family, even if the family didn’t know it at the outset of the arrangements.
