On a Saturday morning in March, a man in Wimborne Minster calls his local funeral home at 7:50am. His mother has passed away overnight in the care home where she lived for the past three years. He has been waiting since 5am for it to feel like a reasonable time to call. He tries the number. ForgeMason answers, warmly and immediately. It thanks him for calling, acknowledges what his family is going through, and takes the details your on-call director will need to begin making arrangements.
Wimborne Minster and the surrounding parishes — Colehill, Corfe Mullen, Merley, and Ferndown — have a significant residential care presence. Deaths in care homes occur at all hours, and care home staff routinely call family members in the middle of the night or early morning. When the family then calls the funeral home, it may be 3am, 5am, or 7:30am on a Saturday. Families in Wimborne expect their local funeral home to have someone available. ForgeMason is that someone — every hour of every day.
