Funeral Facts Corner
I remember when funeral homes were owned by the families whose names were on the sign. I was fortunate enough to work during that era, back in the late 1900s 😉
You thought you knew who you were dealing with. You thought you knew where the money stayed. You thought you knew who was accountable.
Sometimes all that changes silently and the only thing that looks different is the branding, and even then maybe not for years after acquisition.
Same building. Same chapel. New ownership quietly entering behind the scenes.
Everything looks and seems the same. Until one day, the prices raise. Quotas are implemented. The people are replaced. The connections are lost.
If you’re planning ahead, or walking into a funeral home for the first time, ask the questions people don’t think to ask.
Ownership matters.
Especially here... and now.
If this made you pause, share it.
And if you’re planning ahead, ask the questions no one prompts you to ask.
