The Role of Aftercare in Your Funeral Home Business Plan
Good aftercare services do exist — but great aftercare services are harder to come by.
The Key Features of Effective Aftercare
- Provide healing, support, and resources to grieving families.
- Alleviate, not add to, the funeral home’s day-to-day responsibilities.
- Bridge the relationship gap between funeral homes and their families long after funeral services are given.
- Establish an effective, unobtrusive, and meaningful communication method.
The problem with most aftercare ideas is that funeral homes carry the burden of aftercare responsibilities (building, implementing, and maintaining the aftercare program).
Funeral professionals generally do not have a large abundance of spare time — that’s why a good aftercare service should alleviate time while increasing leads for funeral homes.
Some companies have sprung up to plug the hole that exists in aftercare services, but they actually end up piling too many responsibilities upon the shoulders of the funeral director.
As the funeral director, it is your job to implement compassionate aftercare into your business plan effectively.
So how do you do that?
