Instruction manual

1

Decide which set of services your office will provide at the initial stage. For the time being, you can act as an intermediary between customers and a number of organizations and manufacturers (such as the city cemetery and crematorium, transport companies, coffin and monument manufacturers, religious communities, etc.). Over time, there will be an opportunity to acquire your own park of hearse, to independently organize the production of funeral attributes (coffins, wreaths, etc.).

2

Choose a room for the bureau, taking into account all the logistics nuances of the funeral - communication with existing cemeteries, coffins, parking lot for ritual transport. In addition to the “office” part, the funeral services bureau should be equipped with a small warehouse of funeral accessories, which will need to be shown to customers.

3

Think of a name for your company - in the case of funeral services, it will carry a slightly larger burden than for a company of any other profile. Expression and "creativity" here is best minimized and limited to a bare statement of the field of activity. The same applies to the corporate identity of the funeral home as a whole.

4

Hire employees to help you build a customer search engine. To solve this problem, you will need not just experienced managers, but people who are sensitive and sensitive to the psychological state of their clients. In addition to agent managers, a lawyer involved in the formal side of the funeral is involved in organizing funeral services. Drivers, movers and make-up balms are members of those organizations with which you collaborate in the preparation of the funeral.

Useful advice

As additional services expanding the scope of your office, you can master the content of your own mini-morgue, as well as the delivery of bodies from other regions of the country (with preliminary embalming).

To optimize the "funeral logistics", remove or buy off a small intermediate warehouse near the existing cemeteries of the city - this will greatly facilitate the delivery of monuments (crosses, wreaths, etc.) to the right place.
