I have been using the services of Director on Call for many years now as having my families served 24 hours a day is very important to me. They offer complete transparency when representing my Funeral Home. We had a woman come into our facility the day after speaking to with an operator at Director on Call. She asked to see Brenda. Brenda, a Director on Call operator had spoken with her the night before with compassion and empathy and she wanted to thank her. She didn’t realize that Brenda was with Director on Call; she thought she worked at the Funeral Home. Director on Call’s operators really help our families.
