Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about funeral homes marketing? We have got honest answers.
Who is this page for?
It is for the owner or director of a US funeral home. It is not for families arranging a funeral, and HeyLead does not arrange funerals or give advice on them.
Do you use humor or pressure in your copy?
No. Funeral marketing should be plain, kind and accurate. A person reviews every page, ad and post for tone before it goes live, and we do not use countdowns, scarcity or fear.
Is Ever Loved a client?
Yes. Ever Loved is a HeyLead client, and we name it only as that. We do not invent other clients or local homes, and we do not claim results for any home we have not worked with.
Do you create local listings for places we do not staff?
No. A Business Profile should reflect a real location with real staff, in line with the platform's rules. We build presence around the communities the home actually serves.
What about the FTC Funeral Rule?
The FTC Funeral Rule covers how funeral providers disclose prices, including the general price list. Where a page shows price information, we work from the home's current list, and the home stays responsible for accuracy and compliance. We are marketers, not lawyers.
Can you use family reviews and stories?
Only when the home approves them and the family agrees. Reviews are never written or bought, and we ask families for feedback gently and at a suitable time, never during the first days.
Do you target people who have just lost someone?
No. We do not target grief, and we do not build ads that imply we know someone is bereaved. Ads focus on community presence and pre-planning, and search ads answer people who are actively looking.
How do you handle calls at any hour?
Families may call at any time, so we track calls and note missed ones. How calls are answered is the home's decision, and we can suggest routing and message wording so callers hear a calm, prompt response.
Do you cover pre-need advertising?
We can write and promote planning-ahead pages. Rules on pre-need arrangements vary by state, so the home should confirm its wording with its own advisers or state board before publishing.
How do you measure results?
We count inquiries, calls of meaningful length, pre-planning requests and arranged services, not clicks or impressions. Reports and show which search or page led to each call.
