Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We have been in business for almost a year.
What is your primary product or service?
Our primary service is saving our clients money on funerals.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
My mother became sick with what was thought to be two kinds of cancer. I started planning a funeral for her on an online funeral planner from a local funeral home and I was astonished when the total came to $7,000 and that was not including a burial plot. I later found out that applied mark-ups added several thousands of dollars on all of the funeral products I had chosen and that I could save people thousands by creating direct distributor relations and negotiating discounts.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
All of the products we have access to are free of mark-ups. Most, if not all, businesses in our industry make most of their money from mark-ups on funeral related products, while our primary purpose is to save our clients money, not make money.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We only have one location right now but we definitely intend to expand as soon as we can. We want to eventually help families nationwide.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Our company is owned by Cynthia Rodriguez and Andrew Montgomery, they are also the operants.
What are your hours of operation?
We take calls 24hours a day.
