Family Choices®: Casket, Cremation & Funeral Personalization to Honor Every Life
Today’s families are redefining what a funeral looks like. Traditional, one-size-fits-all services are no longer the norm. Instead, families want experiences that feel personal, meaningful, and reflective of the life being honored. In fact, 75% of at-need and 71% of pre-need families believe funerals should be personalized to tell a unique story, but only 53% of funeral directors feel the same.
This gap creates risk for funeral homes, but also tremendous opportunity. By delivering the meaningful options families expect, you not only meet their emotional needs but also strengthen loyalty and grow revenue.
Family Choices® makes this possible. With a wide range of funeral personalization options for caskets, urns, remembrance products, along with tools that make it easy to present and deliver them, you can help families celebrate their loved one’s life their way, while ensuring your funeral home remains essential in every conversation.
What is Family Choices®: Personalization Options for Every Family
Family Choices® is more than a collection of products; it’s a complete personalization solution designed to reflect every family’s story. As the personalization leader in the industry, Batesville offers a wide range of options for burial, cremation, and remembrance items, it empowers funeral homes to create experiences that resonate on a deeper level. Families can choose from symbols of faith and hobbies or displays of cherished memories to build a tribute as unique as the person being remembered.
By bringing together design, technology, and craftsmanship, Family Choices® helps transform services into memorable experiences that carry on after the service. Whether through casket personalization, urn engravings, or remembrance items to take home and cherish, each option is built to tell a story and to keep that story alive long after the service.
These meaningful personalization options visually express relationships, spirituality, affiliations, and interests.

Combining Personalization with Technology: Family Choices® Digital Showroom
Personalization is powerful, but only if families can see what’s possible. That’s where Batesville’s Family Choices® Digital Showroom comes in.
Family Choices® Digital Showroom
Our Family Choices® Digital Showroom transforms the arrangement process, creating a guided experience tailored to each family. As details are captured about their loved one’s life, choices are automatically narrowed down, helping families avoid feeling overwhelmed. With real-time visualization of personalization options, from 3D urn engravings to casket personalization, families can immediately see how their selections will look, building confidence and creating deeper emotional connections.

With Batesville’s Family Choices® personalization, funeral homes can offer families meaningful personalization options that tell a personal story and celebrate a life well lived.
