Making the Connection to Better Serve Families – Getting Started is Easy!

Connecting and collaborating with a local funeral home helps you create a seamless transition for the families you serve as you transfer their loved one from your care to the care of a funeral professional. Getting started is easy.

Identify local funeral homes. Perhaps you already have a relationship with your local funeral home (that’s great!). If not, Remembering A Life makes it easy to find one with its Find a Funeral Home search tool on the home page of RememberingALife.com.

Connect by phone, online or in person. It’s as simple as saying, “I’d like to learn more about what you do. Let’s grab a cup of coffee.” (Funeral directors love to talk about what they do to serve families!)

Exchange tours of your workplaces.

Ask questions of funeral home staff.
How does your staff work with families to help them remember loved ones?
What service options do you offer?
How do you work with families regarding budget?
How can we work together to better serve families?
How can I communicate the options you offer so the families I serve can create meaningful services for their loved ones?
When do you start working with families when a loved one has a terminal diagnosis?

Discuss how you can work together to better serve families. 

Collaborate on a community event (see Idea Guide for suggestions)
