Mortuary Transport Services

Had a search phrase recently go to this site “do funeral homes smell of decomposition?” I was concerned about that also when I first started in the mortuary transport business.

Since there’s been 2 job postings in the Denver area, there must be more business than ever. I like this ad better than the previous one, as he outlines the expectation of the job and the employee.

Yes I know it’s not the [...] Read more »

Here’s an ad that tells it like it is. I’m still curious about business models being used. This ad gives hours to call, but is a 24/7 business. If you’re available 24/7 for bodies, is it that much of a difference to take calls for a job ad? I’m kidding of course. Also, the distance [...] Read more »

Here’s a real letter I just received about the experience from using a removal service for both the house call and delivery to the cemetery. This may be preaching to the choir for most who read this, but every removal has to leave a good impression. We mess up accidentally enough times without letting poor [...] Read more »
