Around-the-Clock Phone Coverage

We promise we will go above and beyond for your clients 24/7/365, so you and your staff don’t have to respond to inquiries. This will give you more time to focus on your grieving clients and their needs. 

The Ability to Provide Callers with Any Information They May Need

Our funeral answering service staff can field calls from families and individuals looking to learn more about your offerings. We can also serve as an information line for friends and family members of the deceased who need more information about the visitation or funeral service, including directions. We can also guide them on where to buy flowers or make monetary donations. And, if needed, our virtual answering service staff can provide incoming callers with information for local grief counselors.

Here’s what a call with one of your client’s family members or friends may look like:

Voice Link Agent: I am more than happy to help you. What information do you need?
