Funerals, Monumental Masonry & More
When planning a service, the Dale & Sons Funeral Directors team takes into account the needs of the bereaved family as well as the written wishes of the deceased. These services can be traditional, bespoke or environmentally-sensitive. Each element can be adjusted. A family can choose the type of flowers displayed, the obituary text, what the order of service book will contain, the music played, how the coffin will be transported and more. Of course, if the family doesn’t want a normal funeral, a cremation can be arranged.
Further to these services, Dale & Sons can also provide expert monumental masonry services, which involve the creation of personalised memorials.
What Being a Franchise Partner Would Involve
As a Dale & Sons Funeral Directors franchise partner, you’d need to open your own establishment. This would be located in a geographically-defined territory that’s exclusive to you. But before you launched your franchise, you’d be comprehensively trained in all aspects of the operation. This would include advice as to how to effectively elicit requirements from grieving families in a sensitive manner.
Once open, you’d offer full funeral services to the bereaved within your area. You will be able to rely on guidance from Dale & Sons at all times.
Find Out if You’re Suited
If you want to invest in this type of service franchise you must be discrete, empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others. On top of this, you have to be able to handle the responsibilities associated with planning and then delivering a funeral service. Remember, there are many different elements that must be considered and you’ll be required to have strong communication skills as well as excellent organisational abilities. This being said, Dale & Sons Funeral Directors will not insist that you have previous experience in the industry as full training will be provided.
Learn How Much a Dale & Sons Funeral Directors Franchise Costs
There are very few professional services franchise opportunities that are as low cost as this one. The franchise fee is just £8,000. While additional expenses such as start-up stock, marketing collateral and the cost of renting a suitable property should only amount to approximately £5,000. Therefore, the total investment you should expect to make is only £13,000. Although prices do vary.
In exchange for your capital, Dale & Sons will provide you with a licence that entitles you to use its branding and provide its exact services. You’ll also be thoroughly trained and given ongoing support.
There are two ongoing costs – an advertising levy that will be between £50 and £100 every month in addition to a royalty fee that will take 2.5% of your monthly turnover. But bear in mind, from your third year onwards, you could be generating up to £120,000 per annum in revenue.
Require Funding?
As of right now, Dale & Sons Funeral Directors can’t provide you with financial support. But you can approach a third party instead. Go to the franchise department of your local bank. Don’t forget, service franchises are often successful and profitable. They’re also far less risky than independent operations. It’s likely that your loan request will be approved.
Get the Training & Support You Need to Succeed
The Dale & Sons Funeral Directors franchise support team will tell you how to establish and grow your business. They will help you get the equipment you need and assist you with the recruitment of the staff you require. They will also teach you the particulars of interacting with suppliers, arranging individually-tailored funerals and more.
In terms of marketing, the brand will ensure your service franchise is promoted properly. For instance, if any enquiries are received through the company’s main website for a funeral in your area, the details will be passed on to you immediately.
