Playbook Online: alternative to PowerPoint for a funeral

Whereas a few years ago it was quite acceptable to use PowerPoint presentations for ceremonies and ceremonies such as funerals, today it is becoming less and less so. This is because the bar for funerals is getting higher and bereaved families have more and more wishes.

For example, they want to be able to use more and more different types of media, such as videos, photo collages and audio. In addition, bereaved families no longer want to hand over a loved one's funeral entirely to a funeral director, as was common in the past. Instead, they want to work together and keep a finger on the pulse so that it becomes the perfect funeral they envision.

Why use an alternative to PowerPoint?

With all these developments and shifting needs of bereaved families, PowerPoint fits less and less. After all:

• In PowerPoint, cloud-based collaboration is difficult. Especially if next of kin are not very digitally proficient, it is incredibly difficult to achieve a good end result.

• PowerPoint is not primarily designed to sweep all kinds of media together into one cohesive whole. For example, it is not possible to easily create a photo collage with audio in the background, and it is certainly not possible to neatly spread out the photos over the duration of the music.

• PowerPoint sometimes produces unexpected results. For example, if the Office version is different on location than on the computer of the relatives. This results in error messages, incorrectly displayed fonts or other imperfections.

Two Variants of Playbook Online

For all these reasons, it makes sense for funeral directors and owners of funeral homes and crematoria who still use PowerPoint to look for an alternative. Playbook Online from 302 Funeral is a solution developed specifically for the funeral industry that makes putting together and playing back funeral ceremonies simple, professional and flawless.

Playbook Online comes in two varieties:

1. Playbook Online for funeral homes and crematoria.

2. Playbook2go for independent funeral directors.

Playbook Online: on location at a funeral home or crematorium

The full version of Playbook Online is an intuitive, cloud-based platform that allows funeral ceremonies to be composed, stored and played out on location at a funeral home, crematorium or bereavement center. Together with next of kin, the perfect funeral service can be collaborated on in the cloud.

Next of kin can easily supply their own media for use in the ceremony, or use media - such as music - that you as a funeral home or crematorium offer for use. Playbook Online is compatible with virtually all common A/V systems in use, so it can be implemented anywhere without any problems.

Playbook2go: for funeral directors

As a funeral director, you may want to offer the advantages of Playbook Online to relatives, but not be dependent on the availability of this service at the funeral homes and crematoria you work with. For this purpose, there is a special variant of Playbook Online: Playbook2go.

Playbook2go easily takes you to any location you want. Even if there is no or bad Internet, Playbook2go continues to work. So you can also offer ceremonies outdoors or at other special locations. Of course, Playbook2go also works in every funeral home or crematorium, even if Draaiboek Online is not normally in use there.
