Forest Lake honors the dearly departed through creative initiatives, innovative services

This Undas, prepare to get delightfully surprised with its campaign 'Di Mo Ine-expect, no?'

 In a departure from the traditionally somber tone during All Souls’ Day celebration, Forest Lake is adding a touch of festivity to what would have been a somewhat gloomy occasion. They will be doing this through their campaign, “Di Mo Ine-expect, no? ‘Di Ordinaryong Undas 2023” (Didn’t expect this, right? Not your ordinary All Souls’ Day 2023).

More than a campaign, it’s a move that is meant to honor the dearly departed through creative initiatives and innovative services. 

REMEMBERING LOVED ONES, CELEBRATING LIFE

As a leading memorial park in the country, Forest Lake not only memorializes but also celebrates life and the enduring bonds that tie families together across generations. 

From October 28 to November 5, Forest Lake’s parks will transform into vibrant, joyous spaces, each adorned with decorations that mirror the uniqueness of the region it resides in. Imagine walking into a park and finding echoes of the Masskara Festival in Bacolod or being greeted by the aroma of a beloved local dish. This creative approach seeks to celebrate not just the memory of the departed but also the rich culture of the Philippines.

Forest Lake’s initiative doesn’t stop at colorful decorations; it extends into the realm of experiences. There will be many Instagram-ready spots for people to take their photographs in. For the little ones, there are small rides that will make their eyes light up with wonder, light shows that will dazzle their senses, and film screenings that will transport them to magical worlds. 

But Forest Lake’s unique Undas celebration is not an attempt to overshadow the core essence of the occasion. Masses will still be held, and blessings of graves will continue. Instead, this initiative aims to infuse the atmosphere with positivity. It’s a gentle reminder to celebrate the lives that once graced our own, to remember the laughter and the shared joy. In essence, it’s about rekindling the happy memories, and perhaps, finding solace in the fact that even in remembrance, there can be joy.

A BETTER PLACE

Aside from the Undas campaign, Forest Lake stands out because of its extensive presence, with 35 locations across the Philippines. It also has a “Libing Anywhere” feature, a unique offering that allows families the flexibility to choose any Forest Lake park in the Philippines, regardless of the original lot’s location purchase.

Forest Lake also offers the “Libre Burol”, which provides free funeral services with interments in participating sites by Forest Lake Memorial Chapels. With chapels already in Binan, Laguna, and more under construction, this service alleviates a significant burden during a difficult time.

Lastly, Forest Lake offers a seamless online experience. Recognizing the digital age, Forest Lake allows people to purchase lots online, right from the comfort of their homes. It’s a simple, hassle-free process akin to online shopping. Moreover, the option to resell lots makes it an appealing prospect for investors, creating a dynamic community within Forest Lake.

Forest Lake is headquartered at the third floor of Alexcy One Building, 51 President’s Avenue, 1718, Parañaque City.
