Case Study: Forest Home strengthens community engagement with PlotBox

Forest Home grows Dia de los Muertos festival to 3,000–4,000 guests with PlotBox

Forest Home is a nonprofit urban cemetery and arboretum in Milwaukee seeking to reimagine its role in the community by hosting large-scale cultural events like its Dia de los Muertos festival. Their challenge was managing the complex logistics and communication for these growing events while staying true to their mission of celebrating life. They partnered with vendor PlotBox to leverage its cemetery management platform to help meet this challenge.

PlotBox's solution provides tools like digital mapping functionality to aid in event planning and visitor guidance, and the ability to pull information to communicate effectively with families. This supports Forest Home's team in building strong community relationships. The measurable impact is clear in the event's growth, with attendance rising from 500 guests in 2019 to an expected 3,000-4,000, and vendor participation more than doubling from 20 to 45 in a single year.
