Pre-need funeral plan product, 2021

Product Design
Technical
In 2021, we partnered with Dignity to launch a new pre-need funeral plan product. Together, we wanted to push for a fresh take on what could have easily been a traditional funeral product and put digital and customer requirements at the core.

Objectives

  • Provide a web app for customers to create and purchase funeral plans, driving revenue.
  • Allow Dignity call centres and branches to develop and purchase funeral plans on the customer’s behalf to increase efficiency.

Product design

The project began with journey and service mapping alongside stakeholder workshops to understand the funeral planning process and how we wanted customers to put their plans together, including compliance requirements.

From there our UX and design team created wireframes and imagery aimed to humanise the brand and avoid the cold interface usually seen in the funeral care industry.

The product consists of a structured set of selection options or open text boxes to take the user on a journey to their ideal personalised funeral plan available in a PDF.

Technical

The back-end development side of the project was highly specialised. It required a sizeable development team alongside liaising with Dignity’s internal development team to gather all of the technical requirements.

Some of our technical challenges included:

  • How we would communicate with Dignity's internal systems and integrate with their phone system
  • Feeding into Dignity's in-house CRM system for funeral plan and card payment information

 

The product was built to give Dignity complete control over the front-end framework keeping it flexible for growth in the future. Using NextJs has some critical benefits for security, SEO, speed and performance, and it’s a great experience for developers, which helps them build better UI faster. We integrated the site with Diamond, their existing CRM internal system which ensured that the business operations could continue without disruption.
