The Dignity Memorial^® Smart and Safe Living program provides older adults with information on how to effectively protect themselves and their loved ones. Since the program's inception, thousands of seniors throughout the U.S. and Canada have attended these free, hour-long presentations. By providing updates on existing cons and scams, home and computer safety tips, identity theft and much more, we hope to help seniors lead safe, active and productive lives for years to come.

The Dignity Memorial Smart and Safe Living program is sponsored by the Dignity Memorial network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers.

Smart & Safe Living Program
Kicks-Off on Staten Island.

District Attorney Daniel M. Donovan, Jr., along with Dignity Memorial® Funeral Homes of Staten Island, Casey, Casey, McCallum-Rice and Virginia Funeral Homes recently kicked-off the Dignity Memorial Smart and Safe Living program on Staten Island.

The 30-minute training program taught seniors how to avoid such common crimes as identity theft; and home improvement, telemarketing and sweepstakes scams. They also learned various ways to protect themselves both at home and while on vacation.

"My office has been aggressive in prosecuting those who seek to prey upon senior citizens, however, I believe we should be proactive in helping to prevent crime," stated District Attorney Donovan. I believe that programs such as this will help educate senior citizens on how to avoid becoming victims of such crimes.
