A Logistical Nightmare

After funeral services are finished, families face a mountain of administrative tasks they are unequipped to handle.

 

On average, it takes a family 12-18 months to settle an estate, and even then, most still worry that they missed something critical.

When Families Don't Receive Help:

Less Loyalty

Your relationship your community is the core of your business. When families have to figure out next steps alone, they associate you less with solving problems and feel less connected to your brand.

Race to the Bottom

If every funeral home offers what seems like the same service, customers are forced to choose based on price. Vanilla aftercare reinforces families’ belief that funeral service is a commodity.

Lost Preneed

When families leave your service with needs unmet, they are less likely to pre-plan their arrangements. Give families every reason to commit to working with you in the future.

How it works

You Notify Us

After you’ve served a family, you share their information with us.

Use a case management system? We can integrate with most major platforms to make this automatic.

We Reach Out

Within 24-48 hours, a Service Coordinator will call the family.

We determine what help they need and find a time for them to meet with their dedicated Estate Specialist.

Expert Service

The family’s dedicated Estate Specialist helps them complete essential next steps.

For any items we can’t do with them on the phone, we educate them on best practices and send written instructions.

Hear from a few of our clients

“Thank you so much for the services of the entire estate and support team at Full-Circle Aftercare. We’ve only been up and running for a month now - but have already seen firsthand the benefit this has served families and are excited about the added support we are now able to provide.”

Tatyana F.
Advance Funeral Planner, NY

"Full-Circle Aftercare has done nothing but add value to our services and separate us from our competition and especially from the discounters - The families truly realize the benefit after meeting with FCA and while pitching it to the families they respond very well to the identity theft position as being a large value add. It also allows my directors to share that value especially when we are dealing with price shoppers for the simplest of services we offer."

Anthony O.
Funeral Home Owner, MA

"It's been great working with you folks, you guys provide a wonderful service to our families, thank you. I really appreciate you guys emailing me even the negative feedback. I have the opportunity to call the family right away and they appreciate that we call them right away! Our team is looking forward to wokring with you in the coming years."

Eddie P.
Funeral Director, CA

"We deeply value our partnership with Full-Circle Aftercare and the support provided to families during such a meaningful and often difficult time. The service-based Aftercare has given our families ongoing guidance and comfort well beyond the funeral, helping them feel supported as they navigate next steps.

Thank you for the care and compassion you consistently show — it reflects well on our firm and strengthens the trust families place in us."

Tom A.
Funeral Home Owner, NM

“I can just say that the relationship we have with Full-Circle Aftercare has been so beneficial for us and also for our community. Our families will literally tell us after a service just how much they benefited from the Aftercare and they were surprised at how much they were able to help them. I can also attest to literally providing a lot of referrals and word of mouth because families are just taken back by all the help and tell their friends about it.”

Josh B.
General Manager, TX

"FCA has more than exceeded our expectations! Families find so much value, peace of mind and comfort in the guidance that Full-Circle provides that they're regularly mentioned on our google reviews and surveys from families. FCA has allowed us to care for the families we serve on a whole new level and we are so grateful."

Sierra M.
General Manager, WI

FAQS

On average, we spend 1.5-2 hours working with a family on the phone before our service is complete. With the help of our back office, the Estate Specialists can ensure many notifications are taken off the NOK’s plate.

Only basic information regarding the decedent and the Next of Kin we’ll be reaching out to.

Decedent DOB/DOD, gender, marital status.

NOK: contact information, language, relationship to decedent.

Our partner funeral homes pay for their families to receive this service, allowing us to act as your aftercare team while you get the credit for the care we deliver.

You’re right. We find that about 30%-50% of families don’t want or don’t need extra help with their next steps. For those families, we can still reach out to check in, gather feedback, and introduce pre-planning.

There are items on the checklist that we can’t directly do with the family (closing bank accounts, for example). With these items, we educate the family about best practices and send written instructions.

Our team of Service Coordinators reaches out to every family within 48 hours of receiving their information from you.

There are several ways to send us families:

One by one on our aftercare reporting form.

Bulk sending in a spreadsheet.

Auto-report with a CMS integration.

Your reputation is the most important thing to us. We are very strict on our Estate Specialist training and we continually conduct QA to make sure every family is treated with respect and care.

We work with Passare, Gather, Osiris, and SRS to make reporting families to us as easy as possible.

If you use a different CMS we’re happy to work with them to automate reporting.

We provide a one-sheet that you can use to introduce our service to families in the arrangement meeting. The one-sheet will have our phone number that we’ll call the family from.

Yes! We can provide rack cards, one-sheets, and social media post templates to help you get the word out about your aftercare program. We also can run a press release in your community when we start serving your families.

Good to hear! We often find that our service works well with existing aftercare programs to give the family more help and an even better experience.

Not every funeral home chooses to pay more for this aftercare service. Those that do, want to offer the very best services available to their families. Investing in great care builds the future of your business.

We provide one-on-one live support to help families complete estate settlement tasks.

In our Full Service, we work with the family to make important notifications on their behalf so they do as little on their own as possible. For estate issues that we can’t directly help with, we educate and prepare the family to handle those tasks.

We only stop working with a family when there is nothing left that our Estate Specialist can do for them. 

  • We call from a phone number in your area code
  • We customize your one sheets to your branding
  • For other specific requests, please contact our team and we can let you know what we can do
