No one likes talking about death. And when you're in the funeral planning business, that's a problem. To get over this hurdle, we teamed up with Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Hubert Davis, and created a campaign that positioned death planning in a whole new light.

To get visitors of the website in the headspace of funeral planning – but without scaring them off – we devised an interactive quiz that eased them into the discussion of funeral planning. Their responses would be compared in real time with that of their peers.
