Do Funeral Directors Exert Pressure Tactics to Upsell?
Because some funeral home providers have a reputation for pressuring customers to upsell, it can sometimes be difficult to trust any of them. However, be relieved to know that not all funeral home providers exert similar pressure tactics. Protect yourself from those that do by knowing what to look for in a pressure-free funeral provider. This can ensure you do not make any unwanted decisions, which helps you to stay true to the wishes of your loved one.
Upfront with Pricing
Many providers do not offer a clear price list and/or are vague about what is actually included in their funeral and burial items or services. When funeral providers are open and honest, their price lists are readily available, with pricing explained thoroughly so that you know exactly what is included. A good indicator of a funeral home that will not be pressuring you in sales will be ones that are upfront about prices and payment methods. In addition, they will be keen to educate you on all the options available to you, thereby ensuring there are no surprises when the final invoice is generated.
Lack of Sales Pressure Tactics
Some funeral home providers have commission-based salaries, which are known to have more pressure tactics involved. Without a commission-based salary structure, stress and pressure associated with making a certain commission is eliminated, which helps create a stress-free environment from the start for the consumer and the staff.
