Can you believe the decade is almost over? At the end of every year, our marketing team reflects on everything we did throughout the year.

In 2019, we covered a wide range of topics in our blog. Below, we’re highlighting our top 10 most-read funeral articles from this year. Topics include death cleaning, cremation, home funerals, alkaline hydrolysis, and more!

Let’s break down the top funeral articles, starting with number one!

1. Death Cleaning: Tips for Tidying and Decluttering Your Home

At the start of the new year, the KonMari Method was all the rage thanks to Netflix’s hit show, “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.” The show inspired people to go through their piles of belongings and decide what was actually serving a purpose and what should be tossed or donated.

This inspired us to write a blog article about the topic of death cleaning. It is defined as “the process of cleaning house before you die, rather than leaving it up to your loved ones to do after you’re gone.” Learn how to get started by checking out our article!
