You don’t need us to tell you how important it is for your funeral home to be active on social media. From community engagement opportunities to marketing your funeral home, social media can’t be ignored.
Even though you realize the importance, we understand it’s overwhelming to know where to start and what to post. That’s why we’ve come up with some content ideas to help your funeral home start engaging with your families on social media, as well as some helpful resources you can use.
Share Your Obituaries
The easiest way to post frequently on your funeral home’s social media pages is to share your obituaries. Families can engage with this content and share it with their social media followers.
But you can’t just stop there; social media engagement requires more than just sharing obituaries. You need to share content that educates and intrigues your families. Read on to find out more social media content ideas.
Promote Your Upcoming Events
Is your funeral home hosting any seminars? Or how about a holiday remembrance program? By promoting these events on social media, not only does it give you more engaging content to share, but your event also gains more exposure. In just a few quick steps, you can create and promote a Facebook Event for your upcoming event.
