the kin-soul™ story​

I found myself with a great responsibility when one of my clients became terminally ill.   ​As a certified event planner, she came to me to quickly organize a family reunion.  She wanted her children to know their distant relatives.  I began planning determined to make her wish come true.  I relied on long distance phone calls to her family, especially her sister as she became more ill.   Our conversations led to me becoming the link between the sisters.

Sadly, on a rainy day in mid-May, my client passed away before the family reunion could take place.  Family members and relatives would now be traveling to her funeral, not her envisioned reunion.  Unfortunately, my focus shifted from planning to consoling her sister whom I’d grown to know via our correspondence.

I walked into a filled funeral home on the evening of the visitation. I had no clue.  No one person stood out: she could have been anyone in the room.   I left extremely frustrated but with hopes of finding her sister at the funeral service the next day. 


No one person stood out; she could have been anyone in the room.  I began looking for anyone who resembled my client.  I observed several older ladies hugging and crying.  Is one of them her mother? I noticed a group of women about her age. Is her sister in that group?

I approached a group of associates hoping they could point out her sister.  They did not know she had a sister. They asked me, "Is her mother here?"   I had no clue, extremely frustrated but with hope of finding her sister at the funeral service the next day.  The following morning, in a crowded chapel, a woman walked up to the pulpit.  “This letter was written by my sister," she said. 
 
I was shocked, sad and angry!   I had seen that same woman the day before at the ​visitation, standing all alone on the porch of the funeral home.  No one knew who she was, nor did she know anyone present either.

My mind was racing.  How did this happen?   How could this be possible?  This situation is so incredibly sad.  This is not the time for the immediate family to repeatedly introduce themselves.  Visitors should not feel overwhelmed trying to figure out who is who and who to console.  That is where the concept of Kin-Soul™ began.  Funeral/Memorials are a time for the living to gather to express admiration and easily pay respect while consoling the loved ones.  
Kin-Soul™ was developed to silently identify the immediate family of the deceased, worn in honor of their loved one.    No longer will a family member sit alone while visitors are unaware of who they are. ​ No longer will anyone have to stress over guessing who the family is or stand next to a grieving family member unaware of who they are.  
Kin-Soul™ opens to become a keepsake personalized pendant and cherished bookmark-after being worn.

While developing Kin-Soul™ I have learned just how much compassion, care and dedication the funeral industry has for those they serve. 
I want to thank those individuals in the industry that gave me input in the development of Kin-Soul™ and the many more funeral industry professionals who each day assure the living can gather to express admiration and pay respect to their loved ones without additional stress.  Have you thanked a Funeral Professional Today? Trust me, they deserve it.
