Forest Lake, the Philippines’ foremost and largest memorial park developer, recently gained significant online attention with a humor-infused digital advertisement featuring a black cat. The video portrays two men encountering the cat while crossing a street and calling it bad luck, referencing a longstanding superstition held by older generations. However, the situation takes an unexpected turn, delivering a crucial reminder about the unpredictability of life and the importance of being prepared for unforeseen events.
This video is part of Forest Lake’s ongoing initiative to change public perceptions of death and memorial care by using humor to tackle a common stigma, addressing it one episode at a time.
Carlos Miguel Locsin, Forest Lake National Sales and Marketing Head, supports this approach, stating, “The use of levity in our latest video is primed to help ease people’s reluctance to prepare for the end of life. We hope that this fresh perspective will spur families to ensure peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones by investing in Forest Lake Memorial Parks’ memorial products.”
Forest Lake’s video series, which was launched in January this year, continues to break down the taboos surrounding life and death. For instance, the first video, released on January 1, humorously ‘debunked’ the belief that jumping at midnight can make one grow taller.
“At Forest Lake, we consistently deliver innovative messaging for a timeless topic,” says Forest Lake Digital Marketing Manager, Christian P. Arines. “Our digital videos aim to create unpredictable moments with unforgettable lessons. We see these as a modern means of shaping Filipinos’ outlook on the deathcare industry.”

To ensure a holistic approach to total memorial care, the company has a comprehensive range of services available across its 37 parks nationwide—from various lot sizes to interment, mortuary, and chapel services.
