Millions Available for Funeral Home Financing

Funeral Home Financing

The market for funeral home financing is mostly composed of local independent funeral homes. There has been a trend, beginning in the late 1990’s for some larger successful funeral homes to consolidate. A few are national companies serving many regions of the country. However this is the exception. The majority of funeral homes serve a local region where the customs and traditions of caring for the deceased and surviving family members are well known.

Funeral homes are among the most successful small businesses. This industry has the lowest failure rate of any industry of just 1%. This business does not have excessive problems with debt collections that plague many industries due to the sensitive nature of the services offered. Most family members feel a sense of honor in handling a loved one’s funeral obligations. This emotional connection provides a feeling of obligation to the funeral services provider.
