Your funeral home loses both connection and revenue
when families choose cremation and skip the service.

InMemorial helps you get both back
without adding to your workload.

Turn Cremation Losses
into Connection & Revenue

Reconnect Families. Recover Revenue.

Cremation is on the rise.
Services—and revenue—are declining.

It’s a growing trend that cuts funeral home revenue by thousands of dollars per family.

More families are choosing direct cremation and walking away

—without a viewing, memorial, or gathering.

But it’s not the end of the story.
In fact, it may be the beginning.

When the Service Stops, So Does the Revenue

Cremation alone may bring in $995.

Add Story Sessions, and that case can be worth $1,895.
Introduce a full Celebration of Life, and the value jumps to $4,295 or more.


So… How Do You Bridge the Gap?

Families still want to honor their loved ones.

But in the rush of immediate decisions, many skip the service—then later regret not doing something more.

That’s your opening.

What if you could give them a second chance to remember, reflect, and reconnect—without any pressure?
And in doing so, you also reopened the door to service, support, and revenue?

That’s exactly what Story Sessions are designed to do.

That’s where Story Sessions come in.

This service is designed to reopen the relationship and give families a meaningful reason to reconnect—days, weeks, or even months after the cremation has taken place.

It’s not just a video.
It’s a doorway to deeper engagement—and to additional services.

🎬 What Is a Story Session?

We do all the work.
  1. It starts with a link.
  2. You send the family a private Story Sessions link and schedule the session date and time with our studio. They share it with friends and relatives, inviting them to record a short memory, tribute, or farewell message from wherever they are.
  3. They can upload as many photos and video clips as they want. We handle all the editing and create a professionally produced "Story Of Life Legacy" Film.
  4. Then we deliver the final video back to you—the funeral director.
  5. Now you have a natural, heartfelt reason to reach out and say:

“We just finished your family’s "Story Of Life Legacy" Film.
Many families find this is the perfect moment
to host a Celebration of Life. We’d be honored to help.”

Now You Have a Reason
to Reach Out Again

There’s no sales pitch.

Just a natural invitation—made possible through genuine connection.

Some examples based on national averages

Cremation Only — $995

This is the average cost for a direct cremation in many areas across the U.S.

  • Includes: basic services, cremation container, actual cremation

  • No viewing, no memorial, no extras

  • Source: Consistent with NFDA reports and industry pricing norms

Cremation + Story Sessions — $1,895

This includes direct cremation plus the InMemorial Story Sessions package:

  • Base cremation: $995

  • Story Sessions add-on (retail price suggestion): $900

    • Video collection from friends/family

    • Master Tribute Film

    • Professional editing, hosting, and delivery

💡 This is positioned as a high-value digital keepsake that families are often willing to pay for—especially if it’s bundled into a “Legacy Package.”

Cremation + Celebration of Life — $4,295

This is a recovered full-service scenario, with cremation plus a delayed or off-site memorial:

  • Base cremation: $995

  • Celebration of Life coordination: $2,500–$3,000 average

    • Venue setup or use of funeral home

    • Printed materials, flowers, staff time

    • AV setup, slideshows, livestream (InMemorial services)

    • Reception, keepsakes, etc.

  • Story Sessions and/or Tribute Film: included or upsold

💡 Many funeral homes already offer packages between $3,995–$5,995 for these services. $4,295 is a moderate estimate showing what’s possible when cremation isn’t the end of the client journey.
