The only "reality" shows I have ever observed are far from reality, as I know it. I think Family Plots did our industry great damage in leading people to think things not seen in public were selfserving and disrespectful. I think getting involved would be really risky from a liability standpoint and for your image in the community. It takes forever to build a brand and reputation, but a minute of bad press to tear it all apart. And, if everything goes well, best case, what does doing this say about you and your firm.

I would be interested to see how the community would react, as well as the loyal families you serve. I dont really see risking your entire family business over a reality tv show. Im not sure the advantages out weigh the disadvantages. I am trying to think of the advantages of having a reality show taped in a family owned funeral home.

I seem to remember the way that the funeral business looked after "Family Plots"... In reality tv they always seem to look for the bad, not the good. Just my opinion, but I am not interested.

Just my opinion, but I am not interested.
