Vaughn Seavolt felt something was missing.
After nearly two decades as a licensed funeral director, the Traverse City resident began feeling that something was lacking in the funerals he saw delivered day after day. He knew there had to be more than just selling caskets.
And then, he found what he was looking for.
“After a friend of mine died, I discovered Life Story® for the first time,” Seavolt said. “I underwent a personal transformation, and for the first time in a long time, I saw the meaning and relevance in a funeral service. That’s when I knew I had to bring Life Story® to the place I call home, the Traverse City area.”
Today, Seavolt’s dream has come to fruition, with the addition of the Traverse City Life Story Funeral Home®. The funeral home, owned and operated by Seavolt, is located at 752 Munson Avenue, right across the street from the beautiful Grand Traverse Bay.
Seavolt, who graduated from Olivet College before attending Wayne State, says he knows the Life Story Experience™ will resonate with the people of the Grand Traverse area, just as it resonated with him.
“Consumer needs are changing, and people want something more than the same old funeral,” he said. “For the first time, people in the Grand Traverse area can choose a funeral home based on something more than just where they went the last time.”
As Seavolt says, his new funeral home is contemporary, accessible, and a tech-friendly celebration of life. There’s no casket selection room, no funeral drapes, and no fleet of hearses, either. Most of all, it’s a funeral experience focused on life and memories, not death and caskets, Seavolt says.
“The Life Story Experience™ is really unlike any other, and it truly takes funeral service into the 21st Century,” he explained. “Life Story Funeral Homes® are devoted to preserving the past, but not being stuck in it.”
Traverse City Life Story Funeral Home® will help people preserve and share a person’s professionally-written Life Story® in print, digital film and on the web, right here at www.lifestorynet.com. Life Story® funerals are focused on the life that was lived, and feature the reading of the Life Story®, and the viewing of the digital film on flat-screen TVs. There are currently 16 independently-owned and operated Life Story Funeral Homes® and affiliates throughout Michigan and Indiana.
