Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI), and its brand Dignity
Memorial, announced today that Striffler-Hamby at Park Hill
Cemetery in Columbus, GA, has been awarded the 2015 International
Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association (ICCFA) Keeping It
Personal (KIP) award. The funeral home received first place and
grand prize honors for ‘Most Personalized Service or Memorial.’
The ICCFA created the annual KIP awards program to
recognize the best in personalization in the cemetery and funeral
service profession. Each year, the program honors recipients
in five categories: Most Personalized Service or Memorial; Best
Practice/Personal Touch; Innovative Personalized Product; Events
and Most Personalized Pet Service/Memorial.
The ICCFA’s 2015 KIP Awards contest attracted
entries from the United States and Canada. Communications and
marketing professionals from outside the cemetery and funeral
service profession performed the judging.
Striffler-Hamby at Park Hill Cemetery created a
unique memorial when a young man was tragically killed in a car
wreck. The funeral home created the display to showcase his
love for fishing during the visitation. The memorial featured his
favorite fishing rods, hats and a tackle box set around an old
fishing boat. Extra details included a tub of Mountain Dew, a
favorite drink, and personal skateboarding photos capturing his
love of the sport.
“It’s an honor that the management and staff of
Striffler-Hamby at Park Hill have been awarded with first place and
grand prize by ICCFA for Most Personalized Service or Memorial,”
said Michael Webb, president and chief operating officer at SCI.
“The 24,000 associates of the Dignity Memorial network strive to
create meaningful tributes that allow family and friends to honor,
recognize and celebrate the life of their loved one. It is
gratifying when their exemplary service to our families is
recognized.”
All KIP Award recipients will be recognized at the
ICCFA 2016 Annual Convention & Exposition, April 13-16 at the
Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, and in ICCFA
Magazine.
