Abstract

A service involves a human interaction between a consumer (customer) and a provider (service worker). In particular, services in today's intangible economy are understood as creative activities that exercise human capital as related goods. Since most service activities are human activities, not objects, they depend on direct interaction between users and service workers, and funeral services are understood as human activities provided by service providers to service targets (deceased, families, condolences). In other words, the funeral service is a service for the deceased, survivors, and condolences in a special situation of death, and can be viewed as a human activity that is exerted by the integration of the interactions between service workers, survivors, and condolences. Functions of funeral services expand for convenience of consumers through the smooth provision of funeral supplies and a variety of complex interpersonal services so that the deceased can perform solemn funeral ceremonies. In this study, the concept and role of funeral services were studied in order to find the direction of funeral services centering for next of kin(families) and condolences, who are the subjects of services from a service-oriented logic perspective. In order to derive meaningful results of people-centered funeral services, funeral services and funeral supplies are classified from the perspective of dynamic resources, guarantees consumers a wide range of funeral choice, and customer dissatisfaction and improvement requests are handled transparently. It suggested a possible plan. Now, in order to improve the quality of life, it is necessary to make efforts to improve the quality of funeral services that improve the quality of death.

서비스는 수요자(고객)와 제공자(서비스 종사자)의 인간적인 상호관계를 내포하고 있다. 특히 오늘날과 같은 무형경제시대 서비스는 관계재화로서 인적자본을 행사하는 창조활동으로 이해한다. 대부분의 서비스 활동은 사물에 대한 것이 아니라 인간적 활동이기 때문에 이용자와 서비스종사자와의 직접적인 상호작용에 의존하게 되며, 장례서비스는 서비스 공급자가 서비스 대상자(고인, 유가족, 조문객)에게 제공하는 인간적 활동으로 이해할 수 있다. 즉 장례서비스는 죽음이라는 특수한 상황에서 고인과 유족, 조문객을 위한 서비스로 서비스 종사자와 유가족 및 조문객들의 상호작용이 통합됨으로써 발휘되는 인간적 활동으로 볼 수 있다. 장례서비스는 고인을 계기로 엄숙한 장례의식을 수행할 수 있도록 장례용품의 원활한 제공과 복잡 다양한 대인서비스로 소비자들의 편익을 증대시키는 기능을 한다. 본 연구에서는 서비스중심논리 관점에서 서비스의 주체인 상주(유가족)와 조문객을 중심의 장례서비스 방향성을 모색하기 위한 장례서비스의 개념과 역할을 연구하였다. 사람을 중심으로 하는 장례서비스의 유의미한 결과를 도출하기 위해 동태적 자원 관점에서 장례서비스와 장례용품을 구분하고, 소비자에게 폭넓은 선택권의 자유를 보장하고, 고객의 불만족과 개선요구가 투명하게 처리될 수 있는 방안 등을 제시하였다. 이제 우리는 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서 죽음 질에 대한 서비스를 향상시키는 장례서비스의 질적 수준을 제고시키는 노력이 필요한 시점이다.
