Shift #43: Cold fronts and new data

Written by Passare | Oct 29, 2026, 2:00:05 PM

 

Are you giving families what they want?🎙️

What happens when you look at 1,200+ data points collected from 2,500 consumers and nearly 800 funeral professionals? You find out real quick where the profession and families don’t see eye to eye.

In this episode, the guys unpack the brand-new Funeral Connections Report from Passare and Funeral Directors Life. They break down everything from awkward payment conversations to tech shortcuts, and why adapting is the only way to keep your doors open.

Tune in for an honest, funny, and eye-opening reality check on what today’s families actually want (and what your business is missing).

Download the Funeral Connections Report and see the data for yourself.
