We kept searching for a Facebook group where funeral directors could talk about business, but we couldn’t find one.

So, we created it.

The 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 is a space for funeral professionals to share insights, swap ideas and talk about what’s working (and what’s not) when it comes to running a funeral home.
