The vision for this
new location was to create an audio visual system that would
be discrete yet offer unique services not yet available at their
other locations or any other funeral homes
The Chapel included a bright long throw projector hidden in the
wall at the back of the room with a recessed Dalite electric
screen installed in front of a rock wall with a water fall. A ceiling
mounted Vaddio pan/tilt/zoom camera is used to monitor the
funeral services from the A/V head end. A video camera and a
DVD recorder provide the ability to record the video output of
the service for the family. As an additional service, Washburn
McReavy creates videos with music for the family and will
provide duplicates.
In the Community room, a ceiling recessed retractable-lift long
throw projector is installed at the back of the room and
displayed on a ceiling recessed Dalite electric screen. Video
and computer inputs can be displayed in the Community room
from the Chapel or the room can be used separately for grief
counseling or when the funeral home has multiple visitations.
Impact:
- Instant peace of mind for the families
- Thoughtful and caring visual presentations for visitors
- Simple, yet elegant, control system which required
minimal training
- Success measured by customer satisfaction and
increased business through an additional revenue
stream.
- Increased interest in funeral chapels and increased
demand for audiovisual services.
