The following points may sound macabre to some, nobody should wish for someone's death, however the following considerations are essential if you want to operate a profitable funeral business. Demographic factors are very important when it comes to funeral services. Look up national statistics about average life expectancy and average age in your area of interest. Also bear in mind that half of the overall revenue of the funeral services industry is generated by pre-burial services, which include cosmetic preparation, transportation and memorial service facility rentals, and embalming. Choosing a suitable range of funeral caskets, funeral coffins, urns and wreaths is very important if you want to operate a profitable funeral business, they account for around 45% of the sector’s revenue.

Other than traditional coffins, consider picture coffins, which can be personalised and carved to specific requirements. Here is a UK supplier that targets this niche:

• Funeral Director Login

JC Atkinson is the largest manufacturer of picture coffins and caskets to the UK funeral market. It manufactures picture coffins using biodegradable materials with beautiful images printed on paper, which are then wrapped and bonded onto the coffin.
