Undas, the annual tradition of observing All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days, can sometimes be an awkward time for Filipinos. Coming as it does in the run-up to the Christmas holidays, the event appears to be a somber prelude to the most exuberant and festive season of the year.

Contrary to this view, however, Undas can be reframed as a wonderful opportunity to fulfill a time-honored custom while indulging in happy reminiscenses of our beloved departed. With this in mind, leading memorial park developer Forest Lake recently presented “UNDASKO,” its way of celebrating Undas and Christmas in one joyous and heartwarming event.

With UNDASKO (a portmanteau of “Undas” and “Pasko”), Forest Lake showed that Filipinos may celebrate the shared values of two cherished Filipino holidays, and further deepen family bonds in the process. UNDASKO 2024, in particular, stressed on the importance of honoring family legacies and highlighted how celebrating one’s holidays at Forest Lake offers a unique sense of community and connection.

To kick off the festivities, Forest Lake featured simultaneous Christmas tree lighting rites across all Forest Lake parks. This not only created stunning light displays in Forest Lake’s vast memorial parks, but also served as a beautiful tribute to departed loved ones. The marvelous sight of Christmas trees all ablaze during UNDASKO reminded everyone that our dearly beloved will always have a place in our home and hearth.

UNDASKO also gave Forest Lake the perfect time to extend its “gifts of gratitude” to lot owners. These came in the form of exclusive promotions and discounts, complimentary services, and branded merchandise. Forest Lake likewise underscored how its unique provisions, such as its Total Memorial Care services, make it easier for families to plan for the future with peace and dignity.

In addition, Forest Lake took the opportunity to promote its exclusive deals on memorial lots; its Libing Anywhere interment services; the Libre Burol for families availing of interment services; and QRonicle, the digital storytelling platform for loved ones.

In celebrating Forest Lake’s first-ever UNDASKO, Forest Lake President and CEO Alfred Xerez-Burgos III affirmed how the best gift family members can give each other would be to create fresh new memories by indulging in quality time together.

“UNDASKO is our way of encouraging families to honor their loved ones while sharing in the joy of the holiday season,” said Xerez-Burgos. “It’s a unique experience that celebrates life, love, and memories.”

Xerez-Burgos likewise assures families that at Forest Lake, there is always joy and comfort in remembrances. “Through events like UNDASKO, we hope to offer families meaningful ways to feel close to their loved ones.”

Due to the positive response to the UNDASKO festivities, Forest Lake hopes to turn the event into a revered annual tradition, and continue innovating on the concept by adding fresh elements and creating more community-focused experiences.
