Insurance-Funded Cemetery Pre-Need

Insurance provides a death benefit that Cemetery Trusts do not.

Challenge:
Historically cemeteries have used PN Trust to hold pre-need merchandise and services funds. Payments are generally managed in-house resulting in extra labor cost. Trust auditing adds additional cost.

Solution:
Insurance Funded Pre-need for merchandise and services can replace the PN Trust account. The insurance company collects payments, pays commissions, locks in future business.

General Price List Redesign

You may be losing many $$$ on every At-need Case.

Challenge:
Many cemeteries have poorly designed General Price Lists. In addition, the pricing of their products and services are not based on what the market will bear, resulting in many thousands of dollars of revenue left on the table. 

Solution:
Our expert team will survey your market to determine the proper price points for each item on your GPL and redesign your GPL so your cemetery can achieve maximum revenue and cash flow very quickly.

Cemetery Management Solutions

At Black Swan Consulting, we believe that CUSTOMER SERVICE is by far the most important focus for any cemetery operation.

Families in need expect compassion, prompt responses, and clear communication during their most difficult moments. Excellent customer service means always being available to answer calls, providing accurate information, and addressing concerns with empathy. A well-trained, caring staff builds trust, enhances reputation, and fosters lasting relationships. Without exceptional customer service, other areas of management cannot succeed effectively.

Black Swan Solutions

Modernization is imperative for success in todays fast moving technological business environment.

The term Black Swan is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, or has a major effect. It means an unforeseen and consequential event.

Black Swan Solutions offers targeted strategies that have significant impact on cash flow, profits and business processes. These types of solutions are outside the realm of regular expectations.

We like to say it like this…you don’t know what you don’t know!

 

  1. Inefficiency: Processes and operations may become inefficient due to outdated methods or misunderstandings about best practices.

  2. Employee Dissatisfaction: Employees might become frustrated if they see management making poor decisions or failing to address critical issues, leading to lower morale and higher turnover.

  3. Financial Losses: Incorrect decisions or missed opportunities can directly impact the bottom line, resulting in financial losses.

  4. Loss of Competitive Edge: Competitors who are more aware of industry trends and knowledge gaps can outpace and outperform a business, leading to loss of market share.

  5. Damaged Reputation: Persistent issues caused by management’s lack of awareness can tarnish a company’s reputation among customers, partners, and within the industry.

  6. Legal and Compliance Risks: Ignorance about regulatory changes or legal requirements can result in non-compliance, leading to fines, legal action, and other penalties.

  7. Stagnation: Innovation may slow down or stop altogether if management doesn’t realize the need for new knowledge and continuous improvement.

  8. Poor Crisis Management: In times of crisis, unrecognized gaps can lead to inadequate responses, exacerbating the situation and causing more harm.

  9. Strategic Misalignment: Long-term strategies might be flawed if they’re based on incomplete or incorrect information, leading the business in the wrong direction.

Recognizing and addressing knowledge gaps is crucial for effective management and long-term success.
