Faith Based Funeral services Society
So.ci.e.ty An aggregate of people “more or less in a community” for a particular purpose (typically for the greater good).
​
CoWorking Office Space. The concept of sharing office space facilities like cubicles, meeting rooms, teleconferencing, large meeting halls, kitchen facilities, fiber optic WiFi, and office copiers. The scale of the facilities is much greater than your car (or café) when you’re working away from home (or your home when you’re working remotely from the corporate office location).
​
Why isn’t there a CoWorking office space in every church in this country that needs a little help supporting its annual budget?
​
FBFSociety™ is the structural concept for combining two organizations “in the Business of Dying” into a decentralized network of facilities. Why do each use portions of their facilities less than 75% of the time? It is the blueprint for churches to expand building usage revenues by 20-40%. It is the blueprint for small family funeral homes competing with mega-corporations that are driving them out of business.
​
At what point can a church become the “Community Hub” to reach multi-faith multi-generational and/or secular non-faith people for many activities outside of their congregation (not just funeral services)?
​
At what point can a Funeral Home eliminate the need to maintain Calling Hour space facilities or chapels because it has 5-10 church facilities in their town aligned with them?
​
At what point would a funeral home move its mortuary and (fiduciary functions of handling the body) to a remote location (along with a crematorium) and rent a dedicated office room at churches for their Funeral Director to meet with people?
​
At what point will the community accept that a church and a funeral home can have the same address? …and that funeral homes with their “family name” can have many “point of contact” locations within a 20 mile radius of their center.
​
At what point will ScatterMasters™ add space rental services to their boutique side business of handling human ashes?
ScatterMasters™ become “the Agent” when it’s more efficient than the cost of extra staff at either the church or the funeral home. Leasing space is not a function that requires a Realtor or Funeral Director license. An agent can staff a cubical for 3 hours each day at 10 locations (in a standard 5 day work week). Now the ScatterMaster/Agent is a full time business not a side hustle.
​
These shared facilities are unregulated activities that cannot be defined as a simple business, endeavor, or venture.
​
Like a Memorial Garden (or Designated Placement Areas™), they exist typically for the greater good. These are Societies.
​
They are called “Faith based” but are not aligned with any particular faith. They can service any non-practicing population or any faith. It is a Society that can create itself for a particular purpose or demographics and exist along a similar Society that aligns with slightly different demographics. All can use the Trademarks and Methods of GWRegistry™ as traditions to honor those that have passed evolve.
​
The greater good is actually among the living in the societies we create for “Dealing better with Dying”.
