COMPANY LOGO

Figure 1.1 Company logo

In creating a logo for the company, the proponents prefer to be simple yet elegant. The straight

line at the bottom part of CIGN symbolizes our open-mindedness as we look forward to new

opportunities and challenges that may come along our way. We chose the black color because

this color symbolizes stability and profitability. It is the goal of every business to be profitable

but proponents believe that profitability can only be achieved with an excellent service and good

relationship with our customers.

BUSINESS NAME

Business name is one of the most essential things to be prepared in starting a business. Ideally,

the first thing that attracts the customer is the name of the business. To be able to penetrate in an

industry it must have its own identity that is meaningful, simple and easy to remember. The

proponents decided to name our Funeral service provider Business “ETHEREAL BLISS:

Funeral Home”. As the name implies, Ethereal (1)relating to the regions beyond the earth, (2)

celestial, heavenly, (3)unwordly, spiritual. The ancient Greeks believed that the Earth was

composed of earth, air, fire, and water, but that the heavens and its denizens were made of a

purer, less tangible substance known as either "ether" or "quintessence." Ether was often

described as an invisible light or fire, and its name derives from the Greek aithein, a verb

meaning "to ignite" or "to blaze." It referred specifically to regions beyond the Earth, but it

gradually came to refer to anything heavenly or airy. Bliss is a reach a state of perfect happiness,

joy oblivious of everything else. A joy that will satisfy our client’s family.

because of its meaning. The blue dove represents the sadness of the dead’s family. The olive leaf

symbolizes the peacefulness of the spirit of the dead person. At the bottom of the logo you can

see the black color symbol, the arms pointing downward indicating the death of a person. The

symbol is called Yr rune and it was taken from the Younger Futhark also known as Scandinavian

alphabet. At the bottom part of “Ethereal bliss” and “Funeral Home” there is cross on the middle

that has a horizontal line in both side. The horizontal line is separated from each other –the left

side represents the earth while the right one is the heaven. Death is not the only way to heaven

but Jesus himself. He died on the cross to save us from our sins. From the symbol of cross, Jesus

also represent salvation.

TAGLINE

The tag line of Ethereal Bliss Funeral Homes is “Journey with”. The proponents came up with

this tag line because death will be the starting point of a man's journey to heaven to meet his

Creator. Death is not the end, it is the continuation of an everlasting life with our Creator. It is

indeed, the next step towards the real and complete happiness that is immeasurable.

VISION

The Ethereal Bliss Funeral Home seek to be a top choice funeral home in our community. We

will set the high standard for our service quality with a reasonable cost.

The Marketing is considered the most important area. This is so because it describes

market situations where the product can be identified through the demand analysis.

The first thing to do is to enumerate the competitors, their location, and their

capacity/size. Marketing Plans or strategies should be done in order to attract customers and even

the customers of the competitors.

A. MARKET SEGMENTATION

Social generations are divisions of people born in the same date range and who have the same

cultural experiences. Different range in how age groups are experiencing the world—socially,

economically, politically, and technologically. We have segmented the market in terms of the

five generations that are over age 30 who will form the active decision-making market. The five

generations are the Traditionalist (age 73 or older), the Baby Boomers (age 54-72), the

Generation X (age 38-53 , the Millennials (22-37) and the portion of Centennials (0-21).

Traditionalist: Born 1928-1945 (73-90 years old)

Members of the traditionalist generation tend to have a practical outlook on life and the way they

approach the world in general. Many members of this generation lived through some challenging

times, such as World Wars I and II, as well as the Great Depression. Survival became a theme

during many of their formative years.

Baby boomers: Born 1946-1964 (54-72 years old)

Baby boomers were the wealthiest, most active, and most physically fit generation up to the era

in which they arrived, and were among the first to grow up genuinely expecting the world to

improve with time. They were also the generation that received peak levels of income; they

could therefore reap the benefits of abundant levels of food, apparel, retirement programs, and

sometimes even "midlife crisis" products. The increased consumerism for this generation has

been regularly criticized as excessive obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol are all

on the rise in the boomer population. Cancer and heart disease are the leading cause of death.

And then there are the concerns beyond physical health

Generation X : Born 1965-1980 (38-53 years old)

Sometimes referred to as the “lost” generation, this was the first generation of “latchkey” kids,

exposed to lots of daycare and divorce. Known as the generation with the lowest voting

participation rate of any generation, Gen Xers were quoted by Newsweek as “the generation that

dropped out without ever turning on the news or tuning in to the social issues around them.” Gen

X is often characterized by high levels of skepticism, “what’s in it for me” attitudes and a

reputation for some of the worst music to ever gain popularity. With high level of education and

a growing maturity they are starting to form families with a higher level of caution and

pragmatism than their parents demonstrated. Concerns run high over avoiding broken homes,

kids growing up without a parent around and financial planning. This generation has an

increased understanding of technology, having grown up during the age of computers.

Millennials : Born 1981-1996 (22-37 years old)

Millennials grew up in an electronics-filled and increasingly online and socially-networked

world. They are the generation that has received the most marketing attention. As the most

ethnically diverse generation, Millennials tend to be tolerant of difference. Having been raised

under the mantra "follow your dreams" and being told they were special, they tend to be

confident. While largely a positive trait, the Millennial generation’s confidence has been argued

to spill over into the realms of entitlement and narcissism. They are often seen as slightly more

optimistic about the future than other generations -- despite the fact that they are the first

generation since the Silent Generation that is expected to be less economically successful than

their parents.

Millennials are generally comfortable with the idea of a public Internet life. Privacy, in the

Millennial eye, is mostly a concern of functional settings limiting who sees their online shares.

This comfort with social media means they are good at self-promotion and fostering connections

through online media. But this approach often results in an issue when comparing themselves to

peers.

Centennials : Born 1997 – TBD (0-21 years old)

As we can all attest, they have very short attention spans. They are accustomed from birth to

sensory overload, so naturally, the amount of time they require to filter through information is

substantially decreased. This is both beneficial and detrimental, but it certainly contrasts the

status quo. Centennials technology is not a consumer item but a tool that facilitates access to

communication, exchange, education and entertainment (a more pragmatic attitude). Furthermore

Centennials are true digital natives; they are considered as the generation best prepared for

understanding and using future innovations. Centennials are slightly more serious and ascetic.

Maybe due to the fact, that on social media they are used to seeing reports about all kinds of

adversity (such as school shootings) and often endure cyber-bullying. They prefer basic

wardrobe, do not care much about status symbols and are less dreamy than their parents, but

instead more concerned about finding a job.

Launch Ceremony
1. Opening Remark

The opening of remarks is all about capturing the a listener’s attention, share information, ideas,

Doves symbolize love, peace, happiness, and prosperity, and can be released outdoor. It soothes

and quiets the worried or troubled thoughts, enabling us to find renewal in the silence of the

mind. The dove's roles as spirit messenger, maternal symbol and liaison impart an inner peace

that helps us to go about our lives calmly and with purpose.

4. Mass and blessing of the business place

When a place of work is to be blessed, both those who labor there and those who share the fruit

of that labor should be invited to the ceremony. Holy water is water that has been blessed by a

CONTINGENCY PLAN

Contingency describes something that might or might not happen. We use it to describe an event

or situation that is a possible outcome but one that's impossible to predict with certainty. The

Ethereal Bliss Funeral Home have a contingency plan for what to do if something goes wrong.

The following are the situations that might encounter:

 In case of emergency like when the customer was bitten by the dog inside the chapel, it’s

important that the injury must be taken care right away to reduce the risk of bacterial

infection. The security guard should assess the wound to determine the severity. The

security guard will be the one to make the fist aid. In case the injury is severe the crew of

Ethereal Bliss Funeral Home will bring the patient in the nearest clinic or hospital and the

business will be liable for the medical expenses that might incurred.

 A fire in the workplace can be one of the most devastating hazards for not only the

workers but the public as well. It can result in numerous serious injuries or even fatalities

in addition to the extensive property damage. So fire safety is pretty important. The

Ethereal Bliss Funeral Home will make sure to familiarize the workers with the

business’s fire procedure.

Basic fire safety that must know for every worksite:

 Know the location of the fire extinguishers in the workplace. Workers must be aware

where the nearest extinguisher is at all times.

 Know where the nearest emergency exits are.

If you discover a fire:

 Alert all other individuals within the workplace by shouting clearly.

 Use the nearest exit to evacuate the workplace.

 Use a fire extinguisher to put the fire out.
