Is Our Profession Having a Full-Blown Customer Service Crisis?
A Customer Service Wake-Up Call for the Funeral Profession
New FCCBS data reveals a growing disconnect—and what to do about it.
The 2025 Funeral and Cemetery Consumer Behavior Study (FCCBS) uncovers something alarming: a widening gap between what families expect and what funeral providers are actually delivering.
While the profession has long prided itself on compassion and care, the numbers—and the stories—tell a different tale this year. The new FCCBS white paper goes deep on these findings and what they mean for your business.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Only 37% of consumers say they were educated about their options
- Ratings of honesty and professionalism have declined steadily since 2021
- Many providers are unknowingly undermining trust through poor communication, pricing confusion, and lack of transparency
- Even industry insiders say customer service is the #1 issue we must address

We include a behind-the-scenes case study of one funeral service insider navigating a funeral arrangement for a loved one—revealing firsthand where we are falling short.
