White Lady Funerals showcases care and compassion in its new campaign via Banjo
A new campaign for White Lady Funerals, created by Banjo, follows a young girl’s journey from childhood to grown woman, showing her supporting a little boy, then her dad after the loss of the family dog, then ultimately in the role she was born to be, supporting a mourner at a funeral, delivering the woman’s understanding White Lady Funerals is known for.
The “She Knows” campaign is the first new marketing for White Lady Funerals in 12 years, and is supported by a 15″ spot, “Dave’s Day” which mentions the company’s pre-paid funerals.
Says Andrew Varasdi, partner at Banjo: “We looked at the qualities it takes to become part of the White Lady Funerals’ team. They are an incredibly committed group of people who view what they do as a vocation, not a job. We wanted to show the compassion and support they bring to the process of farewelling a loved one.”
White Lady Funerals were the first to embrace an all-female service offering. The “She Knows” campaign explores the modern move to funerals that celebrate a life, rather than simply mourning a death.
Says Fergus Kelly, chief marketing officer, InvoCare: “It’s the women of White Lady Funerals themselves who make the difference for our customers and this campaign shows the unique qualities of care and compassion that make them different. The campaign showcases the innate ability to comfort others that White Lady Funerals is renowned for.”
The campaign launches this week and will run at selected times over the next year.

just in time for award season
funniest comment on here in a long time.
Did that little girl grow up to be a serial killer? They always start with animals.
I’d like to spend a few minutes discussing funerals with you 3:16pm.
Born to die. Pretty much sums it up.
SHE KNOWS
Terrifying way of putting it.
Seems like a dangerous friend to have
I’m not saying she did, I’m not saying she didn’t.
But the girl seems awfully happy that the family dog’s dead.
I hate to be negative on here as there is certainly enough of that. However, this spot really bugs me. We used White lady funerals when I lost my Mum recently. I cannot tell you how much this idea misses the mark in terms of encapsulating how far and above the expected these people will go to make an enormously difficult time just that little bit easier. White Ladies do a fantastic job. I’m just sad because I seriously doubt this work will do a fantastic job for them. And it doesn’t help that it looks so out of date, because they are actually a very fresh thinking company. It surprised the heck out of me!
@ On a serious note, I’m hearing you. Same experience for me and yes the white ladies were absolutely brilliant. I’m sorry for your loss.
