Courteous and compassionate funeral call answering services.

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

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.
