Tools for Effective Home Funeral Speakers

PowerPoint Slide Shows
We are pleased to be able to offer the following tools to help you fulfill our mission to educate and empower families to care for their own after death. We've created PowerPoint presentations that you are welcome to customize.​

How to Use and Edit the PowerPoint Presentation

Sample commentary has been added to both slide options at the bottom, visible only to you when you are giving your presentation. This is where you can keep notes, statistics, ideas, anything that may be helpful to you in the moment that you do not need or want included on the screen. This is a wonderful tool for you, and having all your facts and figures accessible is a real confidence builder. If there is anything on the slide you wish removed, simply highlight it, cut it, and paste it in your notes just in case you may need it later.

​Supplemental Slides cover additional topics such as law, ecology, costs, and faith communities. These may be selected for use if you are planning to expand your interest areas or address specific group concerns. For the legal slide, you will need to fill in the particulars for your state or province. Feel free to design your own slides, too!

Photo Gallery
Given the nature of the work we do with home funeral families, we find it difficult to find generally tasteful, high resolution photos. We would love to be able to share your images. Each needs a title and credit line, and must be as high resolution as possible. Some people use photos only when doing presentations. You are welcome to switch out photos from the gallery into the presentation itself. You may also intersperse photo slides with written slides, an effective way of introducing a bit of introspective quiet into the talk. It’s all up to you!
