What the phone looks like for a Belfast funeral director
Belfast and the wider County Antrim has a population of around 630,000, built on technology, healthcare and a strong construction sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a funeral director working across the Cathedral Quarter, Ballyhackamore and Lisburn Road most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A family ringing at three in the morning needs somebody to answer, and they will remember for the rest of their lives whether you did.
Callwise answers on your own 028 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Belfast funeral directors ask us
Do we keep our 028 number?
Yes. Your existing 028 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Belfast customers reach you changes.
Do you work with funeral directors outside Belfast?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Belfast and everywhere across County Antrim is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Is an assistant appropriate for these calls?
It answers within one ring at any hour, speaks gently, says what it is, takes only what is needed and puts a person in touch quickly. An unanswered phone at that moment is far worse.
How fast does our duty director know?
Immediately. A first call is always urgent and is treated as one.
Will it discuss costs?
It gives your published prices if asked and otherwise arranges the appointment. It never pushes anything.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Belfast customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
