How do we understand death today, what beliefs do we hold and how do we fit them into the digital age? Trends such as secular funerals, green burials and digital cemeteries can be identified, driven by communities that do not see their values about death reflected in traditions. EVA is born within this new context with the intention of responding to emerging needs around the mortuary process. The new places of worship should not be a mere technological adaptation of the old ones, but should be designed in consonance with the dimensions that have defined the advance towards contemporary society and will define future societies: secularisation, rationalism, science and environmentalism.
To unify all these emerging actions, we thought it would be necessary to create a new type of funeral home, or simply a comprehensive service that would provide people with alternative methods to carry out their dying process in line with their identity, personality and values. In this way we came up with the key to generating a holistic mortuary service: people using this service could enjoy the benefits of having a post-mortem identity and place, while the rest of the process would revolve around
the compensation of the footprint caused by such a profile. This is how the other services were naturally born: the footprint and offset calculator, the content filtering tool, and so on. In this way, we managed to create a platform that would serve as a guide at a key moment in life, thus creating a new way of looking at death that was more open, undramatised and connected to nature.
