For funeral homes + mortuaries

AI Receptionist for Funeral Homes + Mortuaries

Death care is the most sensitive call you take. The AI recognizes grief-distress cues ("just passed," "died this morning," crying caller), drops the cheerful greeting, and connects to your director in a hushed tone. At-need calls bypass scheduling entirely; pre-planning calls book a callback. 24/7 removal-call playbook for nursing-home / coroner / hospice referrals.

What your callers hear

Thanks for calling — I'm so sorry if this is a hard day. Are you calling about an arrangement we need to make right now, pre-planning, or something else?

Built for the calls funeral homes + mortuaries actually get

Grief-distress detection drops the cheerful greeting

Per safety.ts rule 11c, the AI recognizes "just passed," "died," "we just lost," "the coroner just left," + audibly-broken voice at greeting → hushed acknowledgment, no "Happy to help!", no chirpy upsell. The bereaved caller hears "I'm so sorry for your loss" + an immediate path to your director.

At-need vs pre-planning routing

"My mother just died" = at-need, page the director NOW, regardless of after-hours rules. "I'd like to pre-plan my arrangements" = pre-planning, book a daytime callback for a quote walk-through. The AI distinguishes + routes accordingly.

FTC Funeral Rule-compliant price disclosure

Under the FTC Funeral Rule, you must disclose pricing on phone inquiries. List your General Price List (GPL) + casket price list + outer-burial-container list in your knowledge base. The AI quotes accurately. For bereaved at-need callers, the AI does NOT lead with prices on the FIRST call (dignity) but will quote on follow-up callbacks per FTC Rule §453.2(b)(1).

Benefits-awareness intake

Social Security death benefit ($300 lump-sum to surviving spouse / minor child), VA burial allowance ($300-$2,000+ for service-connected veterans, plus plot allowance), insurance assignment, pre-paid funeral assignments — the AI surfaces these proactively because families often don't know to ask.

How it works for funeral homes + mortuaries

  • Polish-Catholic + multi-tradition burial customs intake

    Polish-Catholic: rosary night, viewing, Funeral Mass parish, cemetery (St. Adalbert / Resurrection / Holy Cross). Mexican-Catholic: novenario (9-day prayer), velorio, traditional foods. Jewish: chevra kadisha, shomer, tahara, K'vurah b'aretz, sitting shiva, no Friday-night or Saturday-day burial. Muslim: ghusl + janazah + same-day burial preferred. Hindu / Buddhist: cremation rites, specific timing. List your tradition + the AI asks the right intake questions.

  • 24/7 removal-call playbook

    Deaths happen 24/7. Calls from nursing-home charge nurses, coroner-office staff, hospice nurses, and home-hospice families all get same-urgency routing as ambulance dispatch. The on-call director is paged immediately + the removal vehicle is dispatched while the caller is still on the line.

  • Native-language routing for ethnic-community funeral homes

    Polish (Hanna, Adam, Daniel), Spanish (Eduardo, Valeria, Juan Carlos), Mandarin (Amy, Sage, LiuPing), Vietnamese (Hien, Thanh, MC Anh Duc), Korean (JiYoung, Taemin, Hyun Bin) — pick a per-language voice in Settings so callers from your community hear their language from call one.

FAQ for funeral homes + mortuaries

How does the AI handle a caller who's actively grieving?

Per safety.ts rule 11c, the AI detects grief-distress cues ("passed away," "died," "we just lost," crying voice) and switches to a hushed, calm acknowledgment script: "I'm so sorry for your loss. Take whatever time you need. When you're ready, I can connect you with [director name] right now." Then the on-call director is paged immediately regardless of after-hours rules. No scheduling flow, no price quotes, no upsell — just an immediate human handoff.

FTC Funeral Rule price-disclosure compliance?

List your General Price List + casket list + outer-burial-container list in your knowledge base. The AI quotes accurately on phone inquiries per FTC Rule §453.2(b)(1). For at-need bereaved callers, the AI does NOT volunteer price quotes on the first call (dignity); price questions are answered if the caller asks directly. Pre-planning callers get full price walkthrough.

Benefits intake — SSA death benefit, VA burial allowance?

Yes. The AI proactively surfaces: SSA $300 lump-sum (to surviving spouse / minor child), VA burial allowance ($300-$2,000+ service-connected with plot allowance), insurance assignment, pre-paid funeral assignment. Captures the family's eligibility on the booking row so your funeral arranger walks into the meeting with the financial picture clear.

24/7 removal-call routing?

Yes. Calls from nursing-home charge nurses, coroner office, hospice, and at-home families get the same urgency-routing as a 911 dispatcher. The on-call director is paged immediately + the removal vehicle is dispatched while the caller is still on the line. No "we'll call you back tomorrow."

Multi-tradition funeral homes — does the AI know the customs?

List your traditions in knowledge base + the AI captures appropriate intake (Polish-Catholic rosary + viewing + Mass + cemetery; Jewish chevra-kadisha + shomer + tahara + same-day burial; Muslim ghusl + janazah + same-day burial; Hindu / Buddhist cremation rites). Doesn't assume any default; asks how the family wants the service framed.
