Mitigating Risk: Protecting Cemeteries, Workers, and Families with Brownyard Group's Domenic Antinucci
Manage episode 450772011 series 3561152
In this episode of Funeral Service Insider, Tom Nondorf, editor of American Cemetery & Cremation, speaks with Domenic Antinucci, a program manager at Brownyard Group, about the specialized insurance needs cemeteries and crematories contend with. Antinucci also discusses how personal experiences and an unlikely career path enriched his appreciation for death care.
On Specialized Insurance for the Funeral Industry: "We launched this in 2017 because ... there was not a carrier that specialized in 10 to 15 lines of coverage in just cemetery, crematory, and funeral home risks nationally."
On Mishandling During COVID: "COVID brought to light a lot that could go wrong in a cemetery that is overwhelmed or not ready to manage the unfortunate amount of deaths that occurred in that amount of time."
On Managing Cemetery Hazards: "However they are managing their cemetery or their daily duties for their staff (it is important) that their staff keep an eye out for any potential hazards –whether it be a divot in the grass or a sinking of the grass from a recent burial – and to mark it with a marker.”
On Cemetery Safety Concerns: "I would suggest as much as possible, depending on their budget and availability, install as many security cameras as possible because we all know there could be some bad actors out there."
