What is a Funeral Planning and Concierge?
An eziFunerals Funeral Planning and Concierge Service is a service that helps consumers navigate to the complex task of organising a funeral within three main time frames: Pre-planning, impending need, or immediate need.
We are committed to setting a standard for end-of-life and funeral concierge services that work on your behalf. Our sole purpose is to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions to plan a good goodbye and then put those wishes into action.
‘ezFunerals works with friendly societies, and life and health insurance companies to simplify the funeral planning process and serve as an advocate on behalf of policyholders and beneficiaries.‘
Our Funeral Planning and Concierge service has no financial motivation to direct clients to one funeral home, product or service – we are a neutral resource available to give guidance at a time when understanding your options can be difficult.
How does a funeral planning and concierge work?
As an independent consumer advocate, we provide an array of services, from helping to select a funeral home and coffin, to arranging for transportation and other necessary arrangements.
The team at eziFunerals has extensive experience in the industry and understands how difficult it can be for families to arrange funerals during times of grief. We strive to make the process as easy as possible by providing personalised guidance throughout every step of the way.
eziFunerals Concierge Plans offers a variety of services including assistance with:
- Selecting a funeral home or cremation services.
- Arranging for transportation.
- Coordinating memorials or gatherings.
- Ordering flowers.
- Creating obituaries.
- Filing death certificates.
- Assisting with funeral bond and insurance claims
At the time of death, our funeral concierge advisors can work with you over the telephone or online. They will guide you through the funeral process, communicate the wishes of the family and negotiate the best prices, often saving consumers a considerable amount of money while not placing the family in the awkward position of trying to negotiate with the funeral home directly.
Most importantly, all of this work is done very quickly. Our funeral concierge service works on the consumer’s behalf 24/7—they give you peace of mind when you need it most!
