Courteous and compassionate funeral call answering services.

It’s important to ease distress by ensuring bereavement-related phone calls are answered with care – and as promptly as possible, regardless of how busy you are. That’s where we come in, 24/7.

Ensure there’s an empathetic and professional voice to assist grieving family members.

24-hour coverage

Families deal with loss at all hours of the day and we’re here to answer their initial call whenever it occurs.

US receptionists

Live answering by professionals in the US, with bilingual services and overflow support available.

Personalized greetings

Calls are answered in your business name and you can choose how callers are greeted.

Dispatch prioritization

Apply different treatments to urgent calls, such as when recovery of the deceased is required.

Appointment setting

We can use your online calendar to book, modify or cancel appointments with the funeral director.

No lock-in contract

Month-to-month subscriptions and no cancellation fees mean flexibility to scale up (or down) as needs change.

How it works.

With instant activation of your service, we can start answering your calls within a few minutes.

1
A customer calls your number.

The call is diverted to us if you’ve chosen to send us all calls or you can’t answer it in-house.

2
We answer the call.

A friendly receptionist uses your preferred greeting and handles the call as required by you.

3
You receive a message.

You receive all the information you need via SMS and/or email immediately after the call.

The utmost care for callers experiencing intense emotion.

Every interaction with a bereaved family member holds significance. Yet inbound calls to funeral homes, mortuaries, crematories and other deathcare businesses can go unanswered for many reasons. For example, if they occur:

  • When talking to members of another grieving family
  • During a funeral service
  • After hours

Imagine having round-the-clock support from professional receptionists, ensuring every call is managed with sensitivity and attention to detail.
