About

We help funeral service professionals serve MORE families, BETTER!

By sharing our knowledge, expertise, and revolutionary approaches to marketing, we are Changing the Way People Think of Funeral Service. The Age of Cremation doesn’t mean the Age of Cremation Only and through outreach and transparency we are working to educate our professional peers, our clients, and the public about funeral service, its indispensability, its history, cultural significance, and best practices.

What we do

Consulting Services

OPERATIONS

We are experts in funeral home, cemetery, and crematory operational best practices, training and implementation, and can perform a comprehensive analysis of what you are doing now and suggest ways you can improve your business operationally, moving forward. A more efficient operation leads to higher client satisfaction, employee happiness, and higher profits!

MARKETING

We have forgotten some basics with respect to marketing our professional funeral service business. SERVICE! And are we even marketing to the right customer? Our radical approach to marketing targets the living, even though they have no need of our services now or in the near future. But make no mistake, every single one of these members of our community will need us at some point in their lives.

CREMATION

Whether you want to improve efficiency, safety, and public acceptance, reduce operational costs, need a simple but confusing emissions inventory form filled out for an environmental agency, or are contemplating a years long project complete with a market study, business plan, equipment evaluations, property searches and layouts, zoning applications, public hearings, and financing, all ending with the commissioning of a new crematory business, partnering with us is a smart option.

ID/CHAIN OF CUSTODY

Are you fully protected? Your staff are CANA operator certified, your OSHA manual and training is in order -- what about the rest of your crematory operations? Make sure your policies and procedures are comprehensive, implemented and enforced.

INSPECT

You may be surprised what goes on at your crematory when you're not around! A proactive approach contracting an outside expert to inspect your cremation provider will go a long way to reduce risk and liability especially if you're falsely accused of doing something nefarious.

POSITIVE IMPACT SESSIONS

Fully customized intense strategy sessions that can be developed for any funeral professional facing challenges with the increasingly changing consumer demand for atypical funeral services, cremation, and everything else that goes with it. Kick Start (or Re-Energize) your Business with these 90 Minute Intense Consultations!
