The gap is increasing

The future will differentiate between exclusiveness and discount

A development which can probably not be stopped any longer: while a privileged few will be doing better and better, an ever increasing number of people suffer existential economic deprivation.
This has consequences, also for the funeral industry: while some will express their demand of Death Style in ever more eccentric ways, others will hardly be able to afford a burial at all.

With the study Crematorium of the Future we in a way tried to do justice to both extremes. For most people are the same in one thing: They want to have their individual last journey, free of regulations, restrictions or inhibiting ceremonies, which all too often have nothing to do with the reality of their lives.
