The AI front desk for funeral homes
Every call, answered with care.
Sleepless Director helps families find your funeral home on Google Maps, answers every call day and night in your funeral home's name, and books arrangement and pre-need meetings. When someone has died, the call goes straight to your on-call director.
Built only for funeral homes · At-need calls always reach a person
When the phone rings at 2 a.m., the family reaches you, not voicemail.
Your team already gives families good care. The hard part is being there for every call, especially when the office is closed or everyone is with another family.
After the office closes
Families call at every hour. Voicemail is a hard thing to speak into at a moment like that.
Found, then missed
Your Google profile brings the call in, and it arrives while you're sitting with another family.
A small team, stretched
The same people handle arrangements, services and the phone. Something has to give, and it shouldn't be the call.
How it works
Found. Answered. Booked.
One system from the moment a family searches to the moment they sit down with you, with a person taking over whenever it matters.
Found
Your Google Business Profile and local listings kept complete and accurate, so families find you on Google Maps and in AI search.
Answered
Every call answered, day and night, in your funeral home's name. Calm, unhurried, never a voicemail box.
Booked
Arrangement conferences and pre-need meetings booked straight into your calendar, with a confirmation sent.
A person, when it matters
When someone has died, the call goes to your on-call director. The assistant never handles an at-need call alone.

An AI voice assistant answers in your funeral home's name, at a calm, unhurried pace.
At-need transfer
It gathers only what's essential, then transfers the family to your on-call director.

Arrangement and pre-need meetings booked into your calendar, confirmed by text.
Reviews, asked with care
Every family asked the same way, at the right time. No filtering, no pressure.

What a family hears
Your funeral home's name. Never ours.
Families hear your funeral home, your hours and your way of doing things. The assistant says it's a virtual assistant, keeps an unhurried pace and books the meeting into your calendar.
- Answers in your funeral home's name
- Says it's a virtual assistant
- Books into your director's calendar
- Sends the family a confirmation
Assistant
Thank you for calling [Your Funeral Home]. This is the funeral home's virtual assistant. How can I help you today?
Caller
My mother would like to plan her funeral in advance, and we'd like to talk to someone.
Assistant
Of course. That's a thoughtful thing to do together. I can arrange a time for you both to sit down with one of our directors. Would a morning or an afternoon suit you better?
Caller
A morning, if possible. Tuesday?
Assistant
Tuesday at 10 a.m. is open with [Director]. Shall I book that and send a confirmation to this number?
The at-need standard
When someone has died, a person takes the call.
The assistant never handles an at-need call on its own. It is there to make sure the family reaches your on-call director, quickly and gently.
Only the essentials
The caller's name and the best number to reach them. Nothing the family doesn't need to say twice.
The family is told
The assistant says a person from the funeral home is joining the call, so no one is left wondering.
Your on-call director
The call is transferred to the person you choose. Not a message, not a callback queue.
Questions directors ask
Questions
Who helps funeral homes get more calls from Google Maps, and does Sleepless Director do that?
+
Yes. Sleepless Director looks after your Google Business Profile and local listings so more families can find you on Google Maps, then answers the calls that come in, day and night, and books arrangement and pre-need meetings into your calendar.
Is it appropriate for a funeral home to use an AI assistant on the phone?
+
It can be, when it's done with care. The assistant speaks as your funeral home, keeps a calm pace, handles routine enquiries and bookings, and passes every at-need call to your on-call director. It's there so no family reaches voicemail, not to replace your people.
Will families know they're speaking to an AI assistant?
+
Yes. It introduces itself as the funeral home's virtual assistant and never pretends to be a person.
Does it replace our staff or our on-call director?
+
No. It answers when your team can't, books meetings into your calendar and passes every at-need call to a person. Your directors stay in charge of how families are cared for.
How much does Sleepless Director cost?
+
Pricing depends on your call volume and number of locations. We'll walk you through it on a short call.
