One of the beautiful things about Facebook is that every funeral home has access to the exact same tools. The playing field is level. So, when marketing budgets are small or even non-existent for 100 call or under firms, does spending those limited dollars on Facebook make sense?
A few weeks ago we did a Facebook Live webinar and the engagement around this live was fantastic! The webinar cover topics like; who engages with funeral homes on Facebook, content funeral homes should post and how to drive pre-need leads with Facebook ads. During the live we did a Q&A session and we wanted to answer a few of the questions more in-depth.
This is an interesting conversation that I have all to often with funeral directors all over the country. In one breath funeral directors are talking about how powerful social media is to the tune of overthrowing governments, changing entire generations, aiding in social uprisings, and influencing the most sophisticated elections but in the next breath say social media can’t sell a funeral. Doesn’t make any sense at all.



Social media is universal and valuable for every single profession. It’s a language that has no barriers and the only constant that ties it all together is the consumer. The same consumer buying a car or searching for a dentist is also the same consumer that will shop a funeral home. The buying habits of that consumer will not change regardless of the profession or product they are shopping.
