What the phone looks like for a Stoke-on-Trent funeral director
Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire has a population of around 370,000, built on ceramics, logistics and a large base of family run trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a funeral director working across Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Longton 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 01782 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.

Stoke-on-Trent funeral directors ask us
Do we keep our 01782 number?
Yes. Your existing 01782 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 Stoke-on-Trent customers reach you changes.
Do you work with funeral directors outside Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Stoke-on-Trent and everywhere across Staffordshire 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.
