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.
