Confirm who's authorized before the arrangement meeting
Cliont's intake asks whether the death has already occurred, confirms who is authorized to make arrangements, and captures the preferred disposition and requested services — then routes death certificates and other documents straight to your CRM.
The exact intake your traditional funeral service leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Traditional Funeral Service — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified traditional funeral service lead should tell you
Coordination of a full traditional funeral, covering viewing or visitation, a funeral ceremony, and burial or interment, for a family that has confirmed or is planning for a death.
- Death Already Occurred, Or
- Person Authorized Make Funeral
- Deceased Located
- Final Disposition Preferred
- Already Have Specific Funeral
- Services Interested In Arranging
The questions your team needs answered
Every traditional funeral service intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Has the death already occurred, or are you planning in advance? | Whether the death has already occurred is the single strongest weight in the catalog, separating at-need urgency from pre-need planning. |
| Are you the person authorized to make funeral arrangements? | Confirming the respondent is authorized to arrange the funeral prevents staff from being dispatched before a decision-maker is actually engaged. |
| Where is the deceased currently located? | Knowing where the deceased currently is determines what transportation and logistics staff need to coordinate before the arrangement meeting. |
| What type of final disposition is preferred? | Whether the family has chosen burial, cremation, or is undecided shapes whether the meeting starts with options or with logistics. |
| Do you already have a specific funeral home or cemetery in mind? | Families who already have a specific funeral home or cemetery in mind are further along in the decision process than those still comparing providers. |
| Which services are you interested in arranging? | The mix of services selected shows the real scope of the arrangement, from a single ceremony to a full viewing-through-reception package. |

Built for traditional funeral service workflows
| Cliont capability | Traditional Funeral Service application |
|---|---|
| Weighted answer scoring | Answers to whether the death has already occurred and whether the person is authorized to arrange the funeral carry the highest weights, surfacing the leads most ready for an arrangement meeting. |
| Multi-select intake fields | The services question lets families check viewing, ceremony, burial, transportation, and reception together, giving staff a full picture of the requested scope before the call. |
| Document collection during intake | Death certificates and identification can be uploaded alongside the form so staff aren't dispatched before ownership and authorization are documented. |
| Automated CRM routing | Once a lead answers the authorization and disposition questions, the completed profile is sent directly to your CRM instead of sitting in a shared inbox. |
Common traditional funeral service lead scenarios
Death occurred, authorized next of kin
A caller confirms the death has already happened and identifies themselves as the person authorized to arrange the funeral, matching the intake's highest-value signals so staff can prioritize the callback.
Pre-need planning inquiry
A family is planning in advance rather than responding to a death that has occurred, which the intake still scores as valuable but routes with less urgency than an at-need case.
Inquiry before authorization is confirmed
An adult child or relative starts the form but isn't yet the confirmed decision-maker, so the lower-weighted authorization answer flags the lead for a clarifying call before staff commit time.
Undecided on disposition or provider
The family selects 'not yet decided' on burial versus cremation and hasn't chosen a funeral home or cemetery, signaling an earlier-stage conversation than a family ready to book.
Full-service package request
The multi-select service question shows the family wants viewing, ceremony, burial, and transportation together, indicating a larger arrangement that needs the right staff on the call.

Traditional Funeral Service lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle families who haven't had a death occur yet?
The first question separates families whose death has already occurred from those planning in advance, and both are scored, but at-need cases carry more weight so your team can prioritize accordingly.
What if the person filling out the form isn't authorized to make arrangements?
The authorization question still captures the lead but scores a 'no' lower than a 'yes,' so you can see at a glance whether to confirm decision-making authority before dispatching staff.
Can the intake capture whether the family wants burial or cremation, or hasn't decided?
Yes, the disposition question offers burial, cremation, or not yet decided, so you know whether the arrangement meeting needs to start with education or with logistics.
How is this different from Immediate Funeral Arrangement or Graveside Service?
This intake covers the full traditional package — viewing, ceremony, burial, transportation, and reception — via the multi-select services question, whereas Immediate Funeral Arrangement and Graveside Service on the sibling pages target narrower, faster-moving needs.
What if the family hasn't chosen a funeral home or cemetery yet?
A dedicated yes/no question flags whether they already have a specific funeral home or cemetery in mind, helping you distinguish a ready-to-book lead from one still comparing options.
Where do completed intakes end up?
Qualified leads, along with any uploaded documents, are sent to your CRM so staff can review the family's answers before making contact.
