Hong delivered a comprehensively expanded second edition of the book in 2019, incorporating key technological developments over the subsequent years. “Technology evolves faster every year—it’s truly at a blinding pace today—so it’s critical to keep funeral home owners and funeral directors apprised of the all the new developments,” Hong said.

Additionally, Hong noted, funeral homes had to incorporate more technologybased services in the wake of pandemic lockdowns in 2020-2022. Many of these developments, such as livestreaming funeral services and providing online consultations as needed, have been retained by forward-thinking funeral firms. “How you need to market your funeral home today, given all the tech advancements and post-pandemic issues such as the ‘pull-forward effect,’ is very different from how it was even a few years ago,” Hong said. “That’s why it’s so important to continue educating deathcare professionals on everything they need to know to compete and thrive in the current climate.” Hong is a respected speaker at numerous funeral profession conferences and seminars, and an ongoing contributor to major publications.
