A bereaved family calling in the middle of the night does not hang up and try again in the morning. They call the next funeral director on the list — and once that relationship is formed in those first moments, it stays. ForgeMason answers every call with warmth and care, captures the full details, and notifies your on-call director immediately so no family is left speaking to a machine at the moment it matters most.
AI answers from the first ring — day, night, weekend. No voicemail, no answerphone, no unanswered ring.
Bereavement call, pre-planning enquiry, chapel of rest booking, floral arrangement, or general enquiry — identified with sensitivity.
Name of the deceased, date and circumstances, family contact details, and immediate needs — gathered gently and accurately.
Immediate notification to your on-call director's mobile with full call details — so they call back informed, not cold.
