The People Side of Funeral Service

Funeral service is built around people, but the people doing the work are often overlooked.

HCHO Resources focuses on the human side of the profession: leadership, retention, employee engagement, workplace culture, communication, and the challenges that affect funeral home teams every day.

When your people work better together, your organization works better too.

Explore the People Side


Does This Sound Familiar?

You are not alone. These are some of the most common challenges funeral home owners face.

 

"We can't keep good people."

You are constantly replacing employees you thought would stay 

 

"Nobody wants to work anymore."

Or maybe the hiring process isn't finding the right people in the first place.

 

"My manager is running people off."

Good funeral professionals often get promoted without ever being taught how to lead.

 

"Our new hires aren't working out."

Hiring someone is only the beginning. What happens during their first 90 days matters.
