Final three directions

Direction 1: Funeral Kit

The funeral is the ceremony marking a person’s death. It is the opportunity to show the significance of a person in the lives of mourners and the community at large: the moment for others to look back upon the deceased’s life when he/she was alive.

If the funeral is the opportunity to show the significance of your life, don’t you want your funeral to reflect what you would have wanted and the way you lived?

We believe by planning the funeral ahead, people can think back into their past life and re-evaluate. This will help people to create stron identity, which eventually increase the individual importance.
Not only the famous celebrities, but the ordinary people have their own identity, which has the rights to be remembered through people.
Funeral kit is a tool for people to get engaged with personalizing their own funeral and imagine it ahead to let the loved ones to get inspired for the future dates. This kit activity will increase the awareness of preparing for the death and appreciate the life now to reflect the self better for the future.
Not only the target audience, but their loved ones will be far less stressed in decision making in the future.

Direction 2: Life Calendar

The most important function of calendar is that it helps people to keep track on times. Therefore, life calendar has a potential in using time well and get benefits of it.

People have certain things that they want to achieve before they die. Also, they probably already achieved some of the goals that they have set up in the past. The life calendar will help people to idealize their life styles into their wants and let them organize the time. You can collect the memories and share them with others.


Direction 3: Boardgame

A board game is a game in which counters or pieces that are placed on, removed from, or moved across a “board”(a premarked surface usually specific to that game)

The board game has a potential in increasing the interactions and bonding between people. It encourages the players to get stimulated by the subject that the game deals with. This way, people can think logically while playing and having fun. The board game is beneficial regardless of sex, socioeconomic class or age. Therefore it is very apprepriate for our audience.
