You attend to your clients while we focus on that incoming funeral call

One of the most important reasons for a funeral home answer service is to provide access and be available any time of the day or night to take phone calls. It is not uncommon for family and friends to need to contact a funeral home outside of normal business hours, especially on weekends or public holidays. By having a funeral call answering service in place, you can be assured that all phone calls will be answered by a virtual receptionist in a professional and compassionate manner and no important calls will ever be missed. Even those minor changes to the details of a service can matter so much. Answering services for funerals can help to lighten the load for your staff, and leave grieving families with the peace of mind that their phone calls will always be answered. For all these reasons it is so important to use an experienced answering service for funeral homes like VirtualHeadquarters.com. We can ensure that an expert live receptionist is always available to take your calls on a 24/7 basis .

How your answering service works

The process for implementing our funeral answer service works is really quite easy. Firstly, when you sign up for an account for your Funeral Directors Answering Service we will allocate a virtual telephone number to your account. This number can either be a local telephone number or an 800 number. This allocated telephone number is the number that we will be answering when we attend to your sensitive calls. If you simply want to use your existing number that’s fine, our call center will link our new number to your number and the calls will come straight through to your new call answering team. Next you just need to tell us how you want us to welcome your callers when they ring your Funeral Home. This scripted greeting can be customized at any time. After that just tell us how you want to receive your messages. You can either receive your call messages via text or via email. With the high percentage of people now using smart phones we find that the majority of our clients opt for an email direct to their phone or desktop.

Our service team will work with your team

We fully understand that there will be some types of calls that you will want to prioritize for our team to transfer straight through to you or your key staff, just give us your instructions and we’ll follow your directions.
